Understanding The Book of Revelation: A Catholic’s Guide to the Apocalypse of John
You are probably more familiar with the Book of Revelation that you realize. Revelation directly inspired some of the most famous hymns, including "You Servants of God" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Now, you can engage more with this impactful book with the help of an expert guide through this 11-lecture audio series. Your teacher is Professor Bertrand Buby, S.M., a leading theologian and author of "A Journey through Revelation."

Until now, reading Revelation and meditating on its message may have seemed daunting or mystifying, but this need not be the case. This beautiful, essential book contains God's hope-filled message in the face of fear and uncertainty. You will come to understand the world behind the text, the use of Old Testament scripture and imagery and the impact of Revelation on the Church through liturgy, worship, and theology. If you ever wanted to get behind the sensationalism surrounding apocalyptic literature and art to gain a deep understanding of this vital book, now you can.

- Join Thomas Merton in exploring the timeless words of one of the world's greatest poets, Rainer Maria Rilke. Before entering the monastery, Thomas Merton studied English at Columbia University and taught literature at St. Bonaventure University. His passion for literature never faded, and now you have the rare opportunity to take Thomas Merton as your guide in this set of his outstanding, remastered talks. Delivered to the community at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1965 and 1966, Merton's talks examine one of his favorite poets: Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926). Aside from William Blake, perhaps no poet had as great an influence on Merton as Rilke, who was arguably the greatest poet from turn-of-the century Europe. Born to a devout Catholic mother in nineteenth-century Bohemia, Rilke is cherished for his beautiful verse and his multifaceted views on faith. Deeply influenced by the spiritual figures of his time, Rilke sought to explore God through the imaginative possibilities of art. A renowned (and prolific) poet himself, Merton saw poetry as one of the most fundamental and profound modes of human expression. By exploring the works of Rilke, Merton marries his Catholic spirituality with his passion for poetry, showing how they complement and shed light on each other. By looking at such works as "Duino Elegies," "The Book of Hours," and "Letters to a Young Poet," you will discover how Rilke demonstrates holiness through imaginative possibilities. As you listen to Merton's voice, you will more fully appreciate the abiding power of poetry. This set includes an afterword by Thomas Merton biographer and literature professor Michael W. Higgins.
- Journey through the life, thought, and works of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. One of the most celebrated spiritual minds of the twentieth century, Teilhard de Chardin was both a respected scientist and a Jesuit priest. He combined an evolutionary worldview with his commitment to his Christian tradition and Catholic faith. A pioneer in the dialogue between religion and science, he remains a widely influential mystical voice. Now, this new program guides you through Teilhard's timeless thought. Under the guidance of Teilhard expert Fr. Donald Goergen, you will explore Teilhard's works, including the essay collection "Writings in Time of War," the spiritual classic "The Divine Milieu," and the groundbreaking "The Human Phenomenon." In doing so, you will examine such powerful themes as cosmology, Christology, Catholic spirituality, the mystery of suffering, and our understanding of God. A restless spiritual seeker, Teilhard emphasized that the universe is unfinished, always on the move—and God, the Alpha and the Omega, is at its center. Teilhard will challenge you to think through the implications of God's creative action being made manifest in evolutionary terms. As you will discover, within this cosmic vision lies a new mysticism—the ability to see God in Christ and in all things. With a remarkable capacity for synthesis, Teilhard invites you into his powerful, compelling vision of the universe. Join him on this mystical journey today.
