How did the early Christian churches make the transition from frontier communities to stable, lasting institutions? The New Testament letters covered in A Church in Transition- I & II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews-offered first-century believers a link to their sacred past and a vision of a promising future. The wisdom and guidance contained in these letters can speak to us today as we face our own times of change and transition. Like the other titles in the popular New Testament devotional commentary series, each letter in A Church in Transition is introduced by a trusted Catholic biblical scholar. The Scripture text is broken up into segments, followed by a faith-filled meditation. Drawing from solid Catholic scholarship, these devotional commentaries, edited by Leo Zanchettin, take a practical look at the books of the New Testament, inspiring readers to grow in their love for Christ. Each easy-to-read commentary contains the entire passage of Scripture from a particular book of the New Testament, broken into short segments, followed by a faith-filled meditation that helps readers understand the importance of the particular passage in their lives today. Historical background, relevance, and insight into church teaching are all combined with guidance in prayer in a way that makes Scripture come alive.
