Christians who enjoy the Bible...do you have any ideas for creative studies?
I'm on my second year of a 7 year cover-to-cover Bible study, in Joshua, and one of the "requirments" I have for myself is a certain number of "supplementary studies" for each book, like just creative stuff (commentaries, audio sermons, movies, quizzes, etc). Does anyone have any ideas or resources for good information on the book of Joshua, or specific portions of it? I have already gotten all of the basic surface-text down, so most sources are just stuff I already know, I'm looking for ideas or sources that get into the deeper elements, like typology, sybolism, application, stuff not evident in english translations, etc. Or even if you just know something interesting about the book that isn't common knowledge, or a good "lead".
Thanks!

St. Thomas Aquinas Commentary on Colossians
$12.95
Translated by Fabian Larcher, O.P. St. Thomas Aquinas's biblical commentaries have been somewhat neglected. Similarly many readers of the Bible do not spend much time with the Colossians. This pearl of a Commentary should assist not only in renewing interest on Aquinas's exegetical insights, but also in deepening our appreciation for the richness of the Epistle to the Colossians.

The Bible and the Qur'an
$12.95
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, worldwide interest in Islam has reached an unprecedented peak. Thousands convert to Islam each year in the US alone, and sales of the Qur'an are very high. What do Christians need to know about the Qur'an? Fr. Jacques Jomier, O.P., has written a scholarly yet readable work that details the profound differences between Christian scripture and the Islamic sacred texts, differences that are too often glossed over by the mainstream media. Topics addressed include: Islamic teaching on Jesus and Mary; the universal mission of the Muslim; Jews, Christians and Islamic law. This book is a necessity for those who wish to understand the highly charged religious elements of the current conflict in the Middle East. ???Jomier carefully presents what the Qur'an teaches about the Hebrew and Christian bible. He contrasts the essential Muslim teachings with the Jewish and Christian understandings of themselves. Jomier is both sympathetic and critical. This is an excellent text in which to understand just what Islam means when it talks of Jewish or Christian sources in the light of its own traditions.??? "James Schall, S.J., Georgetown University Jacques Jomier, O.P. , served for many years as a missionary in the Middle East, gaining a unique inside view of the Muslim world. He was among the first to provide commentary on modern translations of the Qur'an, contributing greatly to the study of Islam. '
