 General Description:

Michael Barber

As Catholics, we often struggle “to do the right thing” in terms of making correct moral choices. At times it is extremely difficult to put our Catholic Faith into practice when facing the “gray areas” of tough ethical dilemmas such as stem cell research, end of life issues or other serious moral matters. Unfortunately morality is simply reduced to obeying God’s laws and tends to be completely unconnected from everyday situations. How then can we move beyond this minimalist notion and gain a more holistic view of right and wrong according to God’s Word?

The Method to Make Moral Decisions

 In this new four CD series, The Bible, Literature and Movies: How Stories Teach Morality, Scripture scholar and Catholic apologist Michael Barber reveals the method to make good moral decisions in daily life. Rather than just imposing a strict code of conduct, you will be taught how to make virtuous choices that are certain to draw you closer to Christ and become the person God created you to be. Mortality will then move beyond the “dos and don’ts” and demonstrate how to best respond in specific challenging situations.

 Michael Barber is one of the most promising Scripture instructors in the Church today. In this series he highlights familiar passages from the Bible, the insights of contemporary philosophers and examples contained in modern Hollywood movies to show how a person’s ethics are shaped by what they do. Our actions truly form us into becoming the good or bad persons we are. For as Barber rightly points out, “we cannot separate our identity from our actions.”

  Soak Yourself in Scripture

 Allow Michael Barber to teach you how to “soak yourself in Scripture” so that you will uncover God’s truth regarding important moral matters. The Bible, Literature and Movies: How Stories Teach Morality helps you better understand the Bible as a sacred story revealing your ultimate purpose life. In this way you’ll finally discern the larger context of Biblical morality by reading the numerous narratives contained in the pages of the Bible. Purchase a set for yourself and your loved ones so that you can unleash the truth that will set you free to know, love and serve the Lord with unwavering fidelity.

 IN THIS SERIES YOU’LL LEARN:

  •  What role ought the Ten Commandments play in making ethical choices
  • What is the historical background that has led to our distorted understanding of morality
  • Why the Church’s Magisterium is not “inspired” by God as the Bible is
  • How stories provide the context and meaning for human actions
  • Why the “entanglement of stories” is the very fabric of life and a most effective way to teach children
  • What the Old Testament stories teach concerning the downward spiral of sin
  • How sin darkens the intellect and weakens the will
  • What the Enlightenment did to pit reason over revelation
  • How freedom must be defined as doing what we ought not what we want
  • Why to be “moral” is to be fully human
  • How St. Thomas Aquinas “baptized” Aristotle’s philosophy to explain Catholic theology
  • How original sin disorders our soul to do things we know to be wrong
  • And so much more!
