Mercy & the Bible Why It Matters

In seven concise chapters, Mercy and the Bible presents an overview of the Bible's teaching on mercy and why it remains an important theme in our day. Beginning with the special biblical vocabulary of mercy. the chapters present summaries of both Old and New Testament teachings. The addition of reflection questions at the end of each chapter makes it a useful tool for either individual or small group study. Although the inspiration for the book was the recent "year of mercy," it is a theme that should be a constant in Catholic and Christian reflection.
