Salvation for Sale!Secrets. We love a good mystery, don’t we? What aren’t preachers telling us about their demands for tithes and their requests for offerings? The short answer is we’re being deceived, bullied, and manipulated. The longer answer is this book. Millions of Christians are under the impression that the salvation they received freely “by grace through faith” actually costs a non-negotiable lifetime fee of ten percent of their gross income. Preachers (usually) don’t explain it this way, and Christians don’t (usually) think of it this way. But when all is said and ...

The Christian East, however, has traditionally described a third category considered beneficial for Christians to listen to in the home: “apocrypha.” These texts, from the centuries before and after the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—beyond even the larger canons of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Old Testaments—reveal to us the religious world and theological framework of the apostles and early Church Fathers.

In this bold, momentous work, the pope, in his first book written as Benedict XVI, seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent "popular" depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels.
