About this item

Since the first century, Christians have detected "seeds of the Word" in the surrounding culture. No matter how charred or distorted the fragments, we can always uncover inklings of the Gospel, which can then lead people to God. Through this evocative collection of essays, Bishop Robert Barron finds those "seeds" in today's most popular films, books, and current events. How do Superman, Gran Torino, and The Hobbit illuminate the figure of Jesus? How does Bob Dylan convey the prophetic overtones of Jeremiah and Isaiah? Where can we detect the ripple of original sin in politics, sports, and the Internet culture? Finding the "seeds of the Word" requires a new vision. This book will train you to see. "Seeds of the Word: Finding God in the Culture" sheds new light on the influence of the Gospel in modern culture. Catholic books like these give you the tools to inspire a new vision and present a new lens on how to examine existing popular media, literature, and culture. Comprehensive Christian Books: These influential books by Bishop Barron will train you to find God, and explore theology and religion in the culture, and surrounding current events. Bishop Barron’s inspirational writings show the vast influence of the Gospel on existing culture, and how the teachings of the Church can be found anywhere. Renowned Spiritual Books: A religious book in which Bishop Robert Barron explains how God is present in today's most popular films and books; for example, the figure of Jesus was illuminated in Superman, Gran Torino, and The Hobbit. About the Author: Bishop Barron has published numerous bestselling Amazon books, essays, and articles on theology and spiritual life; he is the founder of the Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and is an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Proclaiming Christ: Word on Fire Catholic Ministries supports the work of Bishop Robert Barron, which aims to highlight Roman Catholic history, spread the message of Jesus Christ, and to manifest the spirit of Christ to the masses.
