Spring 2021 Book Study

Are you saved? What does it mean to be saved? Join us for a captivating book study on what every Catholic should know about salvation. We will meet virtually for a video and discussion led by Tim Wente 7 p.m. Thursdays beginning March 4. A copy of the book and study guide can be purchased from the parish in the front office for $15.

At every Sunday Mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven "for us men and for our salvation." But what does "salvation" mean? In this robust and accessible book, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical, answer. He deftly tackles this complex topic, unpacking what the New Testament teaches about salvation in Christ, detailing what exactly salvation is, and what it is not. In easy and readable prose, he explains what the Cross, the Church, and the Trinity have to do with salvation.

While intellectually stimulating, "Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know" is deeply spiritual, and at its core is the salvific message that God is love, and his love is one of transformation and redemption.
