Amppax Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes! That's it! It's typology. Thank you so much! I look forward to the rest of your book recommendations! OMGosh that costs $120. Any other suggestions for typology? Ah. I'd second the others recommendation of The Bible and Liturgy. Also, Hahn has a list of recommendations on his website: http://www.scotthahn.com/old-testament.html. There's also a list of more general recommendations: http://www.scotthahn.com/catholic-biblical-study.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Bible and Liturgy comes from a liturgical angle. Is it really a good intro to typology? If he/she is coming from a protestant tradition, Surprised by Truth series - Patrick Madrid Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism - by Scott Hahn and Kimberly Hahn The Protestant's Dilemma: How the Reformation's Shocking Consequences Point to the Truth of Catholicism - Devin Rose Catholicism And Fundamentalism - Karl Keating No, she's coming from atheism/agnosticism. She never thought about religion much, except to be angry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marigold Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Bible and Liturgy comes from a liturgical angle. Is it really a good intro to typology? Not a bread-and-butter intro to typology. That's what I meant by recommending it when she's a bit more firm-footed in what Scripture and then Scripture viz. the Church is about. It is very good, but I think you'd be lost without an ecclesial basis. Speaking of which, how about Jesus of Nazareth by BXVI? I read it in my eternal quest to understand Catholicism. There's a fair bit of typology, Old Testament and Scripture in especially Vol. 1, and it's got that unusual combo of being really readable for anyone, even a non-believer, precisely BECAUSE it's so chilled and academic.

Amppax Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Actually, another recommendation just occurred: Sanctified Vision by R.R. Reno and John J. O'Keefe. It's an introduction to patristic exegesis. It's short, accessible, and definitely would teach your friend about typology. It's also one of my favorite books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSeminarian Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I recently bought a few books.. Haven't had a chance to start them yet but I found them pretty interesting when I bought them. First is Rocket ships and God by Dr. Rocco Martino. http://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Ships-God-Rocco-Martino/dp/1622822099 The next two are about the history of the Catholic Church if she's interested in that. There is Triumph and History of the Catholic Church: From the Apostolic Age to the Third Millennium http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761516042?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586176641?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 @Papist: read the OP! @Gabriela: The Bible and the Liturgy by Danielou is also good, deals with typology a lot, and is considerably cheaper than the other (!). It might be a good 'second wave' book to get your friend deeper into Scripture and the Church, once she has some kind of established idea of what it's all about. Thank you!

Gabriela Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Rebecca Vitz Cherico Hey! I know her! Thank you SO MUCH everyone. I've flooded her with Amazon links, so I think she's good for now! I don't want her to think I'm too overzealous for her conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just got an email from my friend. She's reading Chesterton right now and then working her way on to the list I sent her from all you loyal Phatmassers. She says THANK YOU ALL for your suggestions!

Seven77 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) definitely books by Dr. Peter Kreeft, Chesterton, Pope Benedict, a Father who Keeps his Promises by Scott Hahn, and Catholicism by Father Barron… I think this might be helpful: http://www.strangenotions.com/books/ Edited July 14, 2015 by Seven77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
