Notes on the text

sample issue Testimonial:

“I use it [PTW] for motherhouse preaching, and with my seminary students.” 
~ Sr. Mary Ann, Akron, OH

“I give you a new commandment: love one another.” Everything is new: “Behold, I make all things new.” A new door of faith has been opened. Isaiah’s words are referred to but mean something new. All that is old has been swept away. Even the commandment itself is new and not really modeled on a commandment at all but on an action: love and the ultimate example of love, Jesus’ offering of himself. Heaven has descended to earth and nothing separates God, the Son, and all the faithful.
