shall flow rivers of living water." John 7:38
Our Husband's Greatest Act of Love: He Gives Us His Whole Body
What does God want of me? you wonder. He replies: "Will you marry me?" He wants you, all of you. This has been the plan from the beginning, and right now God asks you again this very question. Will you open your heart to Him and say yes? Beginning with the beginning, Genesis 1-4, I start with a theory and build a biblical theology to promote and defend Catholic Church teaching. The theory is open for discussion, and I submit all my writing to the judgment of the Church.
Poem: Will You Marry Me?
Out of your heart...
shall flow rivers of living water." John 7:38

About Me
- Anthony Biese
- Minneapolis, MN, United States
- Husband and father of five; cradle Catholic; 10th year as teacher and administrator at the junior high level by profession; theologian by training and desire. My beautiful five young children are aged 7 to a half year old. I have a BA in theology, philosophy, and the great books, and a MA in theology both from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. I began a Ph.D. in New Testament at Loyola University, Chicago, but I left it to enter Saint Michael's Abbey in Orange County, CA. I plan to turn this blog into a book. The spark for my main theory came from my favorite teacher and mentor in college, Scott Hahn. I lived with Scott's family for six months during the summer and first semester of my senior year. One day he mentioned a theory held by some Church Fathers. I started pondering and researching to see if it had merit. Before I knew it, I had been swept off my feet. There were days where I hardly slept as I made connection after connection. Everything I knew and understood about the Catholic faith and the bible fit together in a perfect harmony for the first time. That was 1992, and I haven't stopped pondering it. Please pray for me as I write.
Church Fathers
|
You’re Origen! You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
Thanks for Visiting My Blog
I hope you find the information here helpful and enlightening. My immediate goal for this blog is to inspire and impact your life with the lucidity, awesomeness, and life-changing message of the fullness of the Gospel as given by Jesus Christ to His Bride, the Holy Catholic Church. The final goal for this blog is to eventually use the information and discoveries collected here and turn them into a book.
I welcome and seek your comments because I want to make what I am saying clearer and easily understood. I am not trying to write a scholarly book but a popular one, so if I don't make sense to you, I'd like you to tell me. Questions and comments enable me to make myself more clear and to expand and better connect what I am saying, so don't hesitate to give me feedback. Remember, I teach sixth through eighth graders so I am used to a vast array of questions.
Give me your feedback, please. If there is anything you think would make my site better, let me know that, too. Thanks for your help,
Anthony Biese
