    Mike Oslance on his book Reimagine Jesus: Gospel for the 21st Century (November 22, 2024)

    In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, former priest Mike Oslance is interviewed by Mike Kish on his book Reimagine Jesus: Gospel for the 21st Century. MANY PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED ABOUT JESUS AND RELIGION. DOES THIS APPLY TO YOU? Many people believe in Jesus… yet they no longer regularly attend church services. Many people believe in Jesus’ promise to forgive 70 times seven times… but cannot understand how God could condemn anyone to eternal hell. Many people believe we are created in the image and likeness of God… but are simultaneously told that some people are “disordered.” Many people believe that a newborn baby is precious and beautiful… yet are also told that all people are intrinsically sinners and unworthy of God. Many people feel that the gospels are spiritual and traditional stories… but question how these stories of Jesus are directly relevant to their own lives in the 21st century. If this sounds like you, then…THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. REIMAGINE JESUS: A Gospel "According to St. John and St. Mary Magdalen” Actually, each Gospel was attributed to (though not written by) the evangelist it was named after. This book maintains that long-established tradition. Nevertheless, the words within this gospel-book reflect the spiritof the methodology that put the original stories of Jesus into the reach of the public. With that said, perhaps we can address a few obvious questions that might arise from readers unfamiliar with this somewhat unorthodox gospel methodology. HOW IS THIS GOSPEL ADAPTATION UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT? This approach strictly adheres to the parameters of science/ physics. However, the narrative also includes a deliberative approach to including Gospel incidents and faith traditions. Thus, it is named the TheoPhysics Gospel (theology and physics.) Above all, effort has been made to simultaneously develop a comprehensive and plausible context. This is accomplished by using 2techniques: FORENSIC DEDUCTIONINVESTIGATIVE PSYCHOLOGYThe Gospel examines the biblical events similar to a detective. It builds a theory of the case to understand the purpose and meaning of Jesus. This reimagined narrative will delve deeply into the motives/ mindsets of all participants, while also presenting the familiar Jesus-narrative. WHAT PRECISELY ARE THE BIBLICAL METHODOLOGIES BEING USED? The narrative is constructed using the same approach as the ancient evangelists---with the sayings and exploits of Jesus serving as the cornerstone. Scholars observe that each evangelist might utilize incidents and sayings differently to convey a special message for a unique community. The reimagined Gospel matches this approach but adds the needs of our contemporary world---including modern prophetic voices. The scholarship of Catholic theologian Raymond Brown and the extensive work of the Jesus Seminar experts, among other noted biblical scholars, were utilized. Over 75 various books and articles comprise the research expertise of this gospel narrative. WHY SHOULD THE GOSPEL BE ADJUSTED FOR THE 21st CENTURY? Simply put, scriptures and Church teachings were adjusted many times in the past to help better understand the message of Jesus. Examples:Gospel writers adapted Jesus’ sayings/deeds to fit the needs of local communities.Vatican Councils updated and renewed teachings to meet modern demands.Pope Francis advocating for a paradigm shift in theology (November 2023.)Christianity HAS already adapted before, due to scientific advancements such as those of Galileo (the Earth is not the center of the universe,) Darwin (evolution,) and the Big Bang.REIMAGINE JESUS IS THE NEW DRAMA FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM! A book that is relevant to everyone who seeks a meaningful life.

    Roy Schoeman interviewing Ronda Chervin on her book Charles Rich, Give Me Your Heart: Preparing for Eternal Life (October 14, 2023)

    In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Roy Schoeman of Ave Maria Radio interviews Ronda Chervin on her book Charles Rich, Give Me Your Heart: Preparing for Eternal Life (October 14, 2023) How about a book for the elderly by a sage who was still making disciples in his nineties? Who was this Charles Rich, anyhow? One of the most fascinating Hebrew-Catholics of all times was Charles Rich (1899-1998). Born in Hungary in a Jewish village similar to the one in Fiddler on the Roof, Charles was noticed by the rabbis as an extraordinarily religious boy. He loved to stay in the forests to pray alone. His father joined one of the many waves of Jews who went to America to seek better opportunities. After establishing himself in New York City, he sent for the family. This was the beginning of a very dark time for Charles. He found it impossible to be close to God in the teeming city and among the strict legalistic rabbis he had to study with. Eventually, he lost his faith. He worked as a waiter by night and spent 8 hours a day at the 42nd St. public library searching world literature, philosophy, and religious writings searching for the God he had lost. Eventually, Charles fell into despair and tried to commit suicide. Three times he tried; three times he failed, being rescued the last minute. Feeling even more of a failure, one day he went into a Catholic Church. Jesus spoke to him directly from a painting telling him that He was God and to trust in him. Instructed by the Jesuits, Charles became a Catholic and then a lay contemplative, spending hours and hours of the day rapt in prayer. Catholics seeking a deeper prayer life were attracted to him, especially Jewish converts such as myself. Quite a number of books of his thoughts and meditations have been published.

    The Frontline with Joe and Joe on Dr. Gerard Verschuuren's Faith That Makes You Think (July 4, 2023)

    In this episode of Frontline by Joe and Joe, Dr. Gerard Verschuuren talks about his book Faith That Makes You Think. (July 4, 2023) Doesn’t faith contradict thinking? Actually, no. The Catholic Church teaches that there is a strong relationship between faith and reason. In fact, it’s a characteristic of us rational creatures to practice a faith that seeks understanding. This book is specifically written for Catholics—fallen-away Catholics, lukewarm Catholics, struggling Catholics, would-be Catholics—for all those in search of the truth, as it gives life-saving answers to life-size questions.

    Jeannie Ewing on her book Waiting With Purpose: Persevering When God Says ‘Not Yet’ (June 3, 2023)

    In this webinar delivered on Saturday, June 3, 2023, Jeannie Ewing engages a live audience on her book Waiting With Purpose: Persevering When God Says ‘Not Yet’ (En Route Books and Media, 2017). All of life involves waiting. We wait at stoplights. We are caught in traffic jams. We agonize over medical test results. We hang on to a much-anticipated getaway. Sometimes, we wait to finish a project, welcome a new relationship, or open our hearts to the work God has begun in us. Regardless of how often we wait or upon what, Jeannie Ewing explains with clarity and encouragement how we can use the moments of waiting in our lives to grow spiritually. Waiting with Purpose will show you why God asks you to wait and how He is speaking to you in the times when nothing seems to be happening. https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/waitingwithpurpose/
