Outside the Walls

Dr. Mark Giszczak, Associate Professor of Sacred Scripture at the Augustine Institute, recently wrote the book “Bible Translation and the Making of the ESV Catholic Edition.”

In this book, He covers the conversations that preceded the ESV project and the promulgation of the Vatican document on translation, Liturgiam authenticam (2001). The meeting of the minds represented by the ESV translation philosophy and the Vatican’s own translation norms is remarkable. 

Dr. Mark Giszczak specializes in Old Testament Wisdom Literature as well as biblical theology and Catholic biblical interpretation.

Paul Fahey, co-founder of Where Peter Is, has recently written a necessary and helpful article on recognizing and preventing spiritual abuse in the Catholic Church called "The Place Where you Stand is Holy Ground." 

This type of abuse is not often talked about, but leaves lasting scars, and is a major contributor to the "rise of the nones." 

Have we been conditioned to act on our gut instinct, our first impression, or do we take the time to look beyond our primary instinct and to our second thought?

So often Jesus saw beyond the immediately obvious and into underlying motivations. As scripture says, "man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart."

Kristin Putnam and I discuss what it might look like to reconsider our polarized impulses and ponder situations and circumstances more deeply.
