Description: Rex Deus is an account of a modern Grail quest with all the accouterments of mystery, cryptically coded documents and tales of secret societies, persecution and genocide. All the threads in the quest lead to Rennes-le-Chateau, a French hilltop village with a turbulent history long associated with religious and political intrigue, secrets and stories of buried treasure. Many claims have been made about its secrets but the true mystery is the most unlikely claim of all-the existence of a group of families descended from the twenty-four high priests of the Temple in Jerusalem. The Rex Deus story is the first full examination of this shadowy dynasty who have repeatedly conspired together to alter the course of history, and the key role it played in the succession of the House of David to the throne of Jerusalem after the first Crusade. It reveals the real influence of this tradition on the development of European culture and the American constitution; and shows how the true teachings of Jesus Christ have been kept in trust for our benefit in the troubled times that mark the beginning of the third millennium.

Description: Noting that Matthew, Mark, and Luke "claim that the Eucharist was instituted during or after the traditional Jewish Passover meal," A.N. Wilson says that the stories concluding the synoptic gospels, "the arrest of Jesus, his trial, his execution, must be [works] of fiction, since it is unthinkable that the Jews would have broken their most sacred religious observances in order to put a man on trial." In Jesus: A Life, A.N. Wilson spends most of his energy on such demythologizing. Like Renan, Schweitzer, and Crossan before him, this biographer strives to tell a story about the "historical reality" of Jesus' life. To that end, Wilson summarizes scads of contemporary biblical scholarship, sifts through loads of archeological evidence, liberally cites the Dead Sea Scrolls, and, most productively, attends his finely-tuned literary ear to the biblical texts. You can take or leave Wilson's secondhand scholarship; that sort of thing is outdated before it gets printed. But you cannot deny the power of his original literary observations. He thinks the most trustworthy clues for answering the question of who Jesus really was are to be found in the Gospel passages that resist or rupture neat theological readings. "Almost in spite of the Christ of the theologians, Jesus has survived: a man doodling in the dust with his finger ...; a man who could liken the love of God to a fussy Jewish mother searching a house high and low for a lost coin...." This is trustworthy writing. For some readers it will be emotionally upsetting. But it's hard to imagine anyone for whom it wouldn't be ethically edifying. "We can accept some Church version of Jesus, or if it makes more appeal to us, we can accept a 'heretic' version; or we can make one up by ourselves," Wilson writes. "A patient and conscientious reading of the Gospels will always destroy any explanation which we devise. If it makes sense, it is wrong. That is the only reliable rule-of-thumb which we can use when testing the innumerable interpretations of Jesus' being and his place in human history." --Michael Joseph Gross

Description: Stories, Devotions, and Pictures of the Holy Virgin around the World Everyone knows about the famous apparitions of Mary in Medjugorje, Lourdes, and Fatima. But many regions of the world have their own appearances of Mary, from the German Virgin who Unties Knots, the Queen and Protectress of Nigeria, and the wheat-bearing Mary (Japan). Ann Ball, one of the most distinctive voices in popular Catholic writing today, beautifully documents and reveals these other faces of Mary.

Description: Who were the Three Kings and why were they traveling together? What was the "star" they followed? Where were they coming from? As a student of archeology and ancient history, with a Master's Degree in comparative religion besides a Ph.D., Hans Holzer is just the person to answer these questions. He also called on the exacting scholarship of the University of Chicago and The Interlinear Translation of the New Testament and his knowledge of ancient numismatics, especially pertaining to the coins of the first century A.D. issued in Kabul and Petra. Pinpointing the real date of the birth of Jesus, Holzer concludes that the experience of the shepherds and of the Three Kings was separated by an interval of two years. He became convinced that the Journey of the Kings took a long time and that they came a long way. The Journey of the Magi takes you along on his quest to uncover and understand the evidence that reveals the journey of the Three Kings and the journey of humankind to follow the Light that will lead them out of darkness.

Description: This short but profound book is a meditation on the significance of the birth of Jesus to the lives of all Christians. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Christian theologian executed for his role in a conspiracy to murder Hitler, seeks to unite the religious and the secular in an ethical humanism. The nativity of Christ in the manger speaks directly to this unity: it addresses a Christian's attitude toward the lowly, Christian experience--being humble in facing God and the world. "Who among us will celebrate Christmas right?" Bonhoeffer asks. He answers, "those who finally lay down all their power, honor, and prestige, all their vanity, pride, and self-will at the manger." Brief, poetic selections from two Bonhoeffer sermons, The Mystery of Holy Night provides material for meditation on the meaning of Christmas and of Christianity.

Description: Encyclical Letter of John Paul II, Redemptoris mater Introduction by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Commentary by Hans Urs von Balthasar. Pope John Paul II's only encyclical on our Blessed Mother, with introduction by the Cardinal Prefect of the congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and commentary by one of the world's leading Catholic theologians, Hans Urs von Balthasar. The Church's supreme magisterium and representative of the Church's most penetrating theological reflection combine to provide for all the faithful a rich and concise compendium of the Mother of the Redeemer. The development of traditional Marian dogma in the light of the present day bears the Pope's unmistakable personal stamp. The three parts of the encyclical ("Mary in the Mystery of Christ", "The Mother of God in the Midst of the Pilgrim Church" and "Motherly Mediation") draw predominantly from two sources: Sacred Scripture and the central documents of the Second Vatican Council. There is a particular emphasis on ecumenism. What binds all Christians to Mary becomes ever clearer: she is the model of their faith. "Preparing for the advent of the year 2000, the great memorial of Christ's birth, is a fundamental concern of the encyclical. In the liturgy, Advent is a Marian time: the time when Mary made room in her womb for the Savior of the world and bore within her humanity's hope and expectation. Celebrating Advent means becoming Marian, imitating Mary's unconditional Yes which is ever anew the place of God's birth, the `fullness of time'" -- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
