How important are the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church? Are they merely symbols of God's love or amazing channels of His grace in the lives of believers today? What is "God's honest truth" about Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Once again I’ve asked my friends at Saint Joseph Communications if I could write to you about my series, Thy Kingdom Come: A Study on Matthew, the Gospel of the Church. I love Scripture, and it’s always exciting to study and teach God’s Word. But every once in a while a study will get me particularly excited. This series is one of those times.

Saint James is the sage of the New Testament, according to Dr. Scott Hahn. Comparing the “hard-headed Hebrew wisdom” of the Letter of Saint James to the Old Testament book of Proverbs, Dr. Scott Hahn lends amazing new insights to the understanding of salvation by faith and good works through this most Catholic of all the New Testament epistles.

Adam and Eve. Abraham and Moses. Mary and Joseph. These and other key figures from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible each play a significant role in the ever-unfolding drama of Salvation History. But how does it all fit together? How can a better understanding of this indispensable aspect of the Scriptures help you to enter more fully into the liturgical worship of the family of God, which is the Catholic Church?

Dr. Scott Hahn shows how the Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic by virtue of its unbroken chain of succession, universally held beliefs, its establisment by Christ, and its guidance by the Holy Spirit.
