Catolicismo: Un Viaje al Corazon de la Fe (Spanish Edition)
¿QUÉ ES EL CATOLICISMO?
¿Una tradición viva de dos mil años? ¿Una visión del
mundo? ¿Una forma de vida? ¿Una relación? ¿Un misterio? En
Catolicismo, el padre Robert Barron examina todas estas preguntas y más,
intentando captar el cuerpo, el corazón y la mente de la fe católica.
Comenzando desde el cimiento esencial de la encarnación, vida y enseñanza
de Jesucristo, el padre Barron se mueve a través de los elementos definitorios
del catolicismo — desde los sacramentos, la devoción y la oración, hasta María,
los apóstoles y santos, a la gracia, la salvación, el cielo y el infierno— usando
su entendimiento dinámico y distintivo del arte, la literatura, la arquitectura,
los relatos personales, las escrituras, la teología, la filosofía y la historia para
presentar la Iglesia al mundo.
De la mano de su serie documental con el mismo título, Catolicismo es
un viaje íntimo que captura “lo católico” en toda su profundidad y belleza.
Ecléctico, único e inspirador, el padre Barron le devuelve la vida a la fe para
una nueva generación, con un estilo fiel a verdades atemporales, pero que a la
vez habla en la lengua de la vida contemporánea.

by Flannery O'Connor, Robert Barron

Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith
“Catholicism takes a path less traveled in leading us to explore the faith through stories, biographies, and images.”—Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York
What is Catholicism? A 2,000-year-old living tradition? A worldview? A way of life? A relationship? A mystery? In Catholicism Father Robert Barron examines all these questions and more, seeking to capture the body, heart and mind of the Catholic faith.
Starting from the essential foundation of Jesus Christ’s incarnation, life, and teaching, Father Barron moves through the defining elements of Catholicism--from sacraments, worship, and prayer, to Mary, the Apostles, and Saints, to grace, salvation, heaven, and hell. Whether discussing Scripture or the rose window at Notre Dame, he uses his distinct and dynamic grasp of art, literature, architecture, personal stories, theology, philosophy, and history to present the Church to the world.
Paired with his documentary film series of the same title, Catholicism is an intimate journey, capturing “The Catholic Thing” in all its depth and beauty. Eclectic, unique, and inspiring, Father Barron brings the faith to life for a new generation, in a style that is both faithful to timeless truths, while simultaneously speaking in the language of contemporary life.

The Priority of Christ: Toward a Postliberal Catholicism
For a long time, Christians have tried to bridge the divide between Christianity and secular liberalism with philosophizing and theologizing. In The Priority of Christ, Bishop Robert Barron shows that the answer to this debate--and the way to move forward--lies in Jesus. Barron transcends the usual liberal/conservative or Protestant/Catholic divides with a postliberal Catholicism that brings the focus back on Jesus as revealed in the New Testament narratives.
Barron's classical Catholic post-liberalism will be of interest to a broad audience including not only the academic community but also preachers and general readers interested in entering the dialogue between Catholicism and postliberalism.
