This volume offers a selection of essays from the pages of Antiphon: A Journal for Liturgical Renewal, the official organ of the Society for Catholic Liturgy. The Society was founded in 1995 as a multidisciplinary association of Catholic scholars, teachers, pastors, and ecclesiastical professionals in the Anglophone world, with the aim of promoting the scholarly study and practical renewal of the sacred liturgy.

This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God." Key elements include: Trinitarian structure, roles of apostles and bishops, and biblical reading in a historical context.

Christians confess that Christ came to save us from sin and death. But what did he save us for? One beautiful and compelling answer to this question is that God saved us for union with him so that we might become “partakers of the divine nature” (1 Pet 2:4), what the Christian tradition has called “deification.” This term refers to a particular vision of salvation which claims that God wants to share his own divine life with us, uniting us to himself and transforming us into his likeness. While often thought to be either a heretical notion or the provenance of Eastern Orthodoxy, this book shows that deification is an integral part of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and many Protestant denominations. Drawing on the resources of their own Christian heritages, eleven scholars share the riches of their respective traditions on the doctrine of deification. In this book , scholars and pastor-scholars from diverse Christian expressions write for both a scholarly and lay audience about what God created us to be: adopted children of God who are called, even now, to “be filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:19).

Once we become consistent and spiritually mature, God will begin to reveal in depth our purpose, calling, and destiny. --KL Savage "Entering into the Fullness of Christ" was conceived from a series of workshops that my husband and I taught to encourage the Christian believer to mature and develop spiritually through the practice of total worship. Worship allows us to experience God in the most intimate way possible. Developing an intimate relationship with God will alleviate fear and promote prophetic movement that will glorify God. As we move prophetically, we will begin to hear and understand the sounds of heaven, which ultimately will free us. Therefore, this level of worship experience will unleash the manifested power of God in our lives and the nations of the world. In the reading, you will find out how to successfully embrace "A Total Worship Experience" and apply it to your everyday living. Christianity is a lifestyle, not a religion. Through your intimate experiences with the Father, your individual life will become empowered with scriptural promises and principles and vibrant with a kind of love, joy, and peace that only God can provide. God has a plan for your life, and the concepts in this book will enrich that life as you journey down the path that He has especially prepared for you.
