Ray, a former Evangelical Protestant and Bible teacher, goes through the Scriptures and the first five centuries of the Church to demonstrate that the early Christians had a clear understanding of the primacy of Peter in the see of Rome. He tackles the tough issues in an attempt to expose how the opposition is misunderstanding the Scriptures and history. He uses many Protestant scholars and historians to support the Catholic position. This book contains the most complete compilation of Scriptural and Patristic quotations on the primacy of Peter and the Papal office of any book available. It has over 500 footnotes with supporting evidence from Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, and non-Christian authorities.

Far from the tumult in Jerusalem, perched high up in the mountains of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples two very important question. Who do men say that I am? Who do you say that I am? The conversation ended that day with a declaration from the itinerant rabbi that He was going to build a Church upon a rock that would be so powerful that not even the gates of hell would be able to withstand it. Two thousand years later, the Church is coming under attack from every side imaginable and the term Christian is a four-letter word in many circles. This book serves to remind its readers that the Church Jesus promised Peter He was going to build is unstoppable and unbeatable. With the roar of the serpent crushing Lion of Judah, the Church will soon lay aside the remaining vestiges of Adams rebellion in the garden, and emerge from this sin cursed planet, unshackled, unbroken, and triumphant. Do you know the man that Peter correctly referred to as the Christ, the Son of the Living God? Have you placed your faith in the immovable Rock of the Bible or are you trusting in the shifting sands of an ever-changing culture? There is only one Rock big enough, strong enough, and secure enough to assure victory when the dust settles and the Lions roar is heard from the cobble stone streets of Jerusalem to the far-flung corners of the globe. Will you be able to stand?

It was at Caesarea Philippi that Jesus declared His intention to build His Church. While the word translated "Church" in the New Testament is "ecclesia", and in the mind of most people Church is a place, what Jesus had in mind to build was an assembly or gathering of people whom He would call out of the world to be His disciples and citizens of the Kingdom of God. As ecclesia is never used to refer to a place, the purpose of this book is to explore the difference Church understood as a place and Church understood as a gathering of men and women called out of the world has for the life and worship of people. The difference is that in the one instance worship is understood as going to a place, whereas, in the other it is gathering with others who like one's self have been called out of the world to be disciples and citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Intrigue, terrorism, history, art, and the secrets of the Church collide in a relentless page-turning thriller "An elegant, twisty thriller in which a gay couple investigates a mysterious suicide in a scenic Italian hill town. It's not hard to imagine that this book could do for Orvieto what Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil did for Savannah." (Armistead Maupin, author of the internationally acclaimed Tales of the City) An American couple in Italy investigate the suicide of a cleric in the picturesque Italian city of Orvieto—and find themselves plunged into a conspiracy that may destroy the Catholic Church. In the stunning thriller Upon This Rock, San Francisco business executive Lee Maury and his husband Adriano come to Orvieto to soak in the city's beauty and rich history, but Lee becomes fascinated with a local tragedy, the suicide one year earlier of Deacon Andrea, a much-loved candidate for the priesthood. Growing obsessed with learning the truth behind Andrea's death, Lee and Adriano stumble upon a conspiracy of terrorism, human trafficking, and a plot to destroy one of the Church's most sacred shrines—all somehow linked across 500 years to Renaissance Pope Clement VII, who escaped to Orvieto after the sack of Rome in 1527. Before they know it, Lee and Adriano's dream vacation becomes a race to save innocent lives—and not get killed in the process.

Jesus was the descendant of sexually exploited women, narrowly survived a child homicide, and grew up to be the world's most prominent defender of children. Jesus reserved his harshest words for those who abused or neglected children and went so far as to say our treatment of children says everything about our view of God. Although the early church took this message to heart and distinguished itself by its treatment of children, this message has been distorted or ignored by many modern Christian leaders. As a result, the church has often failed to protect children from abuse and, in many instances, has contributed to their maltreatment. In this insightful book, Christian theologian and internationally recognized child abuse expert Victor Vieth examines the role of Jesus' life and teachings in reducing child abuse in the New Testament world. Vieth urges Christians to once again take seriously everything Jesus had to say about children. Using the teachings of Jesus as a blueprint, Vieth sets forth a proposal for church reform to prevent many cases of abuse, improve the pastoral care of survivors of abuse, and witness to the world that Christian faith shows itself in service to children.

Using Peter as the sole narrator and the dramatic focal point, "Upon This Rock" depicts the events of Holy Week while revealing Peter's personal perspective on the significance of each. Jesus' appearances to His disciples during those confusing and discouraging post-resurrection days are also included, as the plans for building God's church and spreading the Gospel are beautifully and dramatically portrayed through the creativity of composer Pepper Choplin. This unique presentation combines original material with best-selling favorites to create an extraordinarily accessible work for most choirs. "Upon This Rock" is indeed a representation of the very genesis of Christianity as we know it today, having as its foundation the solid Rock of Jesus and the steadfast devotion of Peter, whom Jesus proclaimed as His Rock.
