Engaging with these timeless, sacred songs is not just an affirmation of our faith but also a practice that gives our lives a sense of ritual. When we recite the psalms, we are enacting what our forebears did millennia ago: looking for a pathway through a given situation, emotional or physical, and using the words to try to reach a clear and comprehensible place. There is nothing new under the sun, the philosopher says; there is nothing new in this unfathomable ocean of the human condition that the 150 songs in the Book of Psalms don't address.

Typology is the study of how various things in the Old Testament prefigured what was later fulfilled in the New Testament. And these “things” we call types (from the Greek typos). Typology helps us understand many thigs in scripture. In today's episode patner/director of CatholicismRocks, William Hemsworth, discusses some of those.

Partner/director William Hemsworth dives into scripture to discuss what St. Paul can teach us about leadership.

One thing that is certain is that this interaction is pivotal in the ministry of Jesus. He was interacting with a woman that was at a well alone, he was in Samaria, a theological discussion about proper worship breaks out, and lastly, we have one of the most clear declarations that Jesus makes about his identity. Through it all our Lord puts aside the various prejudices of the day to show love, mercy, and the blueprint on how to evangelize.

Thomas has a bad reputation for not initially believing the resurrection, but he showed leadership and commitment far before the other eleven disciples did. What would the other apostles do if they were in his position?

It is very tempting to look at the Arian controversy and think that it is a thing of the past. To do so would be irresponsible from a theological and historical perspective. The denying of the divinity of Christ is still something that is an issue among those who call themselves Christians. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons have a view of Christ that is contrary to scripture and to the tradition of the Church. What would Christianity be like today if the bishops in Alexandria and Nicea not exercised the authority given to them by apostolic succession?

The resurrection is so important that St. Paul tells us that if it did not happen that we are still dead in sin (1 Corinthians 15:17). Sometimes there is some apprehension when the resurrection is discussed because we feel a burden of proof, but the evidence for it is out there. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but three proofs for the resurrection of Christ
