The Ultimate Guide to G.K. Chestertons “The Everlasting Man” Word on Fire Institute 2024-03-27 | “The Everlasting Man” (wof.org/everlasting) is one of the most important books on Christian apologetics ever written. It was the book that set a young atheist named C.S. Lewis on the path toward Christianity and its lively prose and compelling defense of Christianity have dazzled readers ever since.But Chesterton’s presentation of the story of humanity and religion is filled with obscure literary, historical, mythological, philosophical, and theological references—most of which are largely lost on today’s readers. And Chesterton’s paradoxical and apparently wandering style proves, at times, disorienting to newcomers.In this groundbreaking guide—the first-of-its-kind—one of the world’s leading authorities on Chesterton walks readers through the entirety of this great apologist’s text. Complete with the full text of the original book, an introduction, footnotes, and running commentary, Dale Ahlquist’s tour through Chesterton’s classic will draw new readers into his literary world—and old readers even deeper into his literary genius.Get your copy today: wof.org/everlasting

This led a rabid German corporal with a toothbrush mustache to orchestrate the infamous Beer Hall Putsch. Join me and Professor Mark Jones as we discuss the rarely considered origins of Adolf Hitler in his book, 1923.———WATCH———Subscribe to this Channel: https://wordonfire.institute/youtubeBishop Barron’s Channel: youtube.com/@bishopbarronWord on Fire en Español Channel: youtube.com/@WOF-ES———WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE———Get a free copy of the latest "Evangelization & Culture Journal": https://wordonfire.institute/journalfreeJoin Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute———WORD ON FIRE———Word on Fire: wordonfire.orgFREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): dailycatholicgospel.com———SOCIAL MEDIA———Bishop Barron Instagram: bit.ly/2Sn2XgDBishop Barron Facebook: bit.ly/2Sltef5Bishop Barron Twitter: bit.ly/2Hkz6yQWord on Fire Instagram: bit.ly/39sGNyZWord on Fire Facebook: bit.ly/2HmpPpWWord on Fire Twitter: bit.ly/2UKO49hWord on Fire en Español Instagram: bit.ly/38mqofDWord on Fire en Español Facebook: bit.ly/2SlthaLWord on Fire en Español Twitter: bit.ly/38n3VPt———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE———Donate: wordonfire.org/donateWord on Fire Store: store.wordonfire.orgPray: bit.ly/2vqU7Ft

Dignity, Equality, and Solidarity: A Catholic Alternative to DEI Word on Fire Institute 2024-01-25 | “Diversity, equity, and inclusion are hopelessly corrupt concepts that are irreducibly at odds with the basic tenets of justice in the natural law tradition.” These concepts violate human dignity and the most basic understanding of a just relationship. Alternatively, dignity, equality, and solidarity (DES) are basic and fundamental concepts within the Catholic tradition that accomplish everything DEI putatively intends, but they have been obscured by the cultural movement we currently face. Dr. Matthew Petrusek spoke recently at the SENT Ventures Chicago Regional Conference to discuss how we can approach the controversial topic of DEI; what it means in a corporate, government, and educational context; the moral implications of the terms; and the better alternative, DES.

Popcorn with the Pope: A Guide to the Vatican Film List Word on Fire Institute 2023-12-04 | In 1995—one hundred years after the birth of cinema in Paris—a Vatican-appointed commission compiled a list of forty-five significant films. The entries vary widely, ranging from light-hearted favorites like The Wizard of Oz to challenging arthouse features such as The Seventh Seal.This list, released under Pope St. John Paul II, was an important milestone in the dialogue between the Church and the wider culture. Yet for many Catholics and cinephiles alike, it remains undiscovered or unclear. What was the list for? And why did the commission choose these particular titles?In this groundbreaking study, David Paul Baird, Andrew Petiprin, and Michael Ward walk readers through the entire Vatican List, film by film. The authors show that its aim was not to serve as a “best-ever” register, nor as an anthology of approved works; rather, it was to guide people in an appreciation of cinema as an artistic language and a bearer of spiritual and moral messages.In addition to theologically and historically informed commentary, each chapter includes film stills, quotations, fun facts, and questions for further reflection and discussion. Elevated yet entertaining, “Popcorn with the Pope” is perfect for anyone interested in delving deeper into a Christian approach to movies.Get the book or learn more at wordonfire.org/popcorn.
