Threshold Bible Study announces a new division of its best-
selling thematic studies, beginning with the four Gospels and
Acts. Two Threshold books will be published on each Gospel,
coordinated with the liturgical cycles. In preparation for Cycle A,
The Gospel of Matthew is presented under the thematic title,
Jesus, the Messianic King.

This new series of books uses the same time-tested method of
lectio divina as in the earlier series—the sequence of reading,
study, reflection, and prayer as recommended by the Pope and
bishops of the Church. The books are designed for both personal
and group study.

This new series continues the thematic approach of Threshold
Bible Study by approaching each biblical book from a thematic
point of view, as indicated in the titles. Each of these books is
the same size and format as the original series of fifteen
Threshold books, with thirty units in each book, divided into six
weekly sessions for groups.

Expand the number of people in your parish studying the Bible
through this user-friendly method which balances solid study
with pastoral insights. Because this series may be offered for
individual or communal study, you may offer it to all the people in
your parish. This is the ideal way for your faith community to
enter into the spirituality of the Gospel for the new liturgical
cycle.



       
Jesus, the Messianic King – Part 1: Matthew 1-16
(available October, 2010)

The Gospel of liturgical Cycle A presents Jesus as Israel’s royal
Messiah, inaugurating God’s kingdom in the world. With frequent
quotations and allusions from the Old Testament, Matthew
demonstrates how Jesus fulfills God’s saving plan for all the people
of the earth. This study will help you understand the scope of this
Gospel and its personal implications for your own life.

Jesus, the Messianic King – Part 2: Matthew 17-28
(available October, 2010)

This study of the second half of Matthew’s Gospel moves from the
Transfiguration to the Resurrection, announcing Jesus as the world’s
true King. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus bring the hopes
of Israel to their dramatic climax. This study completes the unique
portrait of Jesus developed in the first half on Matthew’s Gospel and
concludes the transforming experience of receiving the good news of
Israel’s Messiah.
