Top Highlights
“Where do Christians find their unity today? There is in the New Covenant a unity based on one altar in one house with one family. The sacrament of the Eucharist, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, symbolizes and makes real our unity in Christ, gathered around the true High Priest and his delegated ministerial priests.” (Page 147)
“The word ‘meditate’ can be likened to the word ruminate, meaning ‘to chew the cud.’” (Page 13)
“ God requires two things of Joshua. First, he must be strong and courageous.” (Page 12)
“This is what theologians call a theophany—a visible manifestation of God.” (Page 39)
“The second condition God imposes is that Joshua must follow his laws carefully just as Moses passed them down.” (Page 13)
