Be Transformed: A Biblical Journey toward a More Just World
No full textDiscover the ways Catholic social teaching and its biblical roots can guide us toward authentic Christian living in a world in need of profound change.
The goal of every Christian life is to be shaped and transformed by God. In Scripture we are reminded that transformation requires sacrifice and that if we care about the poor, the environment, and those in prison, we need to be transformed into agents of justice. But how are we to take up that responsibility in a world dominated by greed, division, environmental destruction, and violence?
In Be Transformed, Micah Kiel brings together Catholic social teaching and its biblical roots and applies them to instances of injustice in our world today. When understood together, Catholic social teaching and Scripture create authentically Christian ways to live in a world in need of profound change. Be Transformed is an accessible guide that encourages readers to break open their hearts and minds to the possibility of life-giving transformation. By applying art, history, tradition, and Scripture to modern issues, readers will be challenged and empowered to consult these traditions in a meaningful way, every day.

Improved clarity and wider acknowledgement will build greater inclusivity for all bodies in recognized good Catholic practice empowering informed and just healthcare decisions and practice
“The Spirit and Power : Max Weber and the Study of Prophecy and Authority in the First Three Centuries of the Church
Get PDFOriginally written as a research essay for Dr. Charles Bobertz\u27s Patristics course in the Spring term of 2023, this paper examines the role that prophecy played in the early Church, especially in the Montanist movement of the late second and early third centuries. However, the paper takes prophecy and its authoritative role in the early Church as a springboard to reflect on the study of the early Church from an academic perspective, probing the ways in which twentieth-century scholarship utilized the sociological theory of Max Weber to make sense of the gradual institutionalization of the Church from its more charismatic origins. Thus, the essay is an opportunity to reflect on how modern secular reason has influenced the way both contemporary theologians and secular academics approach historical development within the Church
