Editor's note: We're excited to share the news of a merger of two organizations that help bring Catholic scripture study and other learning tools to the faithful--and they're celebrating by offering free and discounted books! --Barb

Two dynamic Catholic organizations have announced that they are merging and will strengthen their missions to produce exceptional resources, while at the same time partnering with a new distributor to maximize their outreach.

Emmaus RoadEmmaus Road Publishing has joined the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology to become the publishing arm of the educational institute dedicated to promoting life-transforming Scripture Study in the Catholic tradition. Additionally, the two are partnering with Lighthouse Catholic Media in an effort to reach a wider audience.

To mark this exciting event, EmmausRoad.org is offering a free Scott Hahn book, free shipping on one order, and up to 50% off all books while supplies last.

“We have set ambitious goals for the near future,” says St. Paul Center founder Dr. Scott Hahn. At the same time, he assures, Emmaus Road will continue to “bring you books you need from authors whose words you trust.”

St Paul Center TheologyThe St. Paul Center, established almost twenty years ago by Dr. Scott Hahn, develops research and study tools that facilitate a transformative encounter with the living Word of God. Its mission is to help Catholics read the Bible from the heart of the Church. The St. Paul Center does this through inspiring conferences and seminars, the informative and engaging Journey Through Scripture Bible studies, and other online media, radio, and television resources.

Hahn explains, “Our mission owes a lot to the last chapter of Saint Luke’s Gospel, the story of Jesus and the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Everything we do at the St. Paul Center is boiled down in that one scene.”

Drawing its name from the same passage, Emmaus Road Publishing, founded in 1998, has been a longtime collaborator with the St. Paul Center, publishing its annual Letter & Spirit journal. For more than fifteen years, Emmaus Road has also published award-winning, authentically Catholic books by authors such as Ted Sri, Ralph Martin, Mike Aquilina, and Emily Stimpson.
