IRVING, Texas — Vatican II called the Bible “the support and energy of the Church,” “the pure and everlasting source of spiritual life,” and “the food of the soul.”
For many Catholics, engagement with the Bible is often limited to what’s heard at Mass – but a brief sermon on a Sunday morning may not be enough to sate one’s appetite for the richness of the Word of God.
Peter Kreeft, celebrated philosopher and author, invites the faithful to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ through Scripture in his insightful commentary, “Food for the Soul.”
In this riveting three-part series, Kreeft invites the faithful – clergy and laity alike – to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ the Word through the Word of the Scriptures.
Starting with Advent and moving through the readings for each Sunday and other major liturgical celebrations throughout the three-year lectionary cycle, Kreeft brings the Mass readings to life with his trademark blend of gentle wit and unyielding wisdom, challenging readers to plant their souls in the rich soil of Scripture and sharpen their minds with the Sword of the Spirit.
Whether you are a layperson looking for additional insight on the readings at Mass, or a priest or deacon looking for inspiration for a homily, “Food for the Soul” is a gift to the whole Church from one of today’s greatest Christian writers.
Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is one of the most widely read Christian authors of our time. He has published more than 85 books on a vast array of topics in spirituality, theology and philosophy.
