From Glory to Glory: Spirit and Sacrament in the Writings of Paul and John (Biblical Commentaries)

A helpful, eloquent guidebook for learning how to pray with scripture, From Glory to Glory could be used for individual study, but is intended especially for small groups. It encourages scriptural/communal scriptural prayer as a path not only to personal holiness but to helping the community achieve its mission of reaching out to others. It offers abundant practical advice about starting a prayer group based on biblical readings. Texts are selected from the Gospel of John and the Letters of Paul.

McDonnell uses her knowledge and skill as a scripture scholar deftly to uncover the deeper meanings in John and Pauls texts, which she has translated herself in clear and lively prose. Her frequent questions to the reader are pointed and provocative.

Perfect for homily preparation, RCIA, evangelization, or catechesis.
