The Priest Who Put Europe Back Together by Sean Brennan
ISBN: 0813230179
Publication Date: 2018-08-01

Philip Fabian Flynn led a remarkable life, bearing witness to some of the most pivotal events of the twentieth century. Flynn took part in the invasions of Sicily and Normandy, the Battle of Aachen, and the Battle of the H#65533;rtgen Forest. He acted as confessor to Nazi War Criminals during the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, assisted Hungarian revolutionaries on the streets of Budapest, and the waves of refugees arriving in Austria fleeing the effects of ethnic and political persecution during the Cold War. The Priest Who Put Europe Back Together tells the story of this fascinating life. From solidly middle-class beginnings in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Flynn interacted with and occasionally advised some of the major political, military, and religious leaders of his era.
Improvisation by Samuel Wells; Wesley Vander Lugt (Afterword by); Benjamin Wayman (Afterword by)
ISBN: 9781540960115
Publication Date: 2018-11-06

This introductory textbook establishes theatrical improvisation as a model for Christian ethics, helping Christians embody their faith in the practices of discipleship.

Wayman that explores the reception and ongoing significance of the text.
Even the Dogs by Cloe Taddei-Ferretti
ISBN: 9783643909275
Publication Date: 2017-10-04

This is a historical excursus that describes female ministries in the early Church. It analyzes the disputed traces of women in the presbyteral ministry, diaconal ministry, and the differences in ordination rite and functions for deaconesses and deacons of the Byzantine Church. Information is included on the gender balance of today's identical ordination rite and functions of deaconesses and deacons. The study also examines: the hypothetical possibility of female presbyteral ordination; belief in female subordination; the spousal symbol; Mary; woman and person; reciprocity; the incarnation of the Word; the impossibility of female presbyteral vocation; the value of doctrines; and the sacramental sign and substance of a sacrament. In conclusion, a prayer for female presbyteral ordination is proposed.
The Chinese Pleasure Book by Michael Nylan
ISBN: 9781942130130
Publication Date: 2018-10-05

An examination of pleasure--short-term delight and the cultivation of longer-term satisfaction--in early Chinese thought. In Ordinary Pleasures, Michael Nylan takes up one of the most important themes in Chinese thought: the relation of pleasurable activities to bodily health and the health of the body politic. In a notable contrast to Western writings on the subject, early Chinese writings oppose pleasure not with pain but with insecurity. All assume that it is right and proper to seek and take pleasure, as well as short-term delight, and all are equally certain that long-term relational pleasures are more easily sustained--as well as potentially more satisfying and less damaging. The pleasures that become deeper and more ingrained over the long term, as one invests time and effort into their cultivation, include friendship and music, sharing with others, developing integrity and greater clarity, reading and classical learning, and going home.
Rhetoric of Pope Francis by Christoph OLDENBURG
ISBN: 9781498572361
Publication Date: 2018-10-17

What is it about the rhetoric of one the most influential and powerful religious leaders in the world and in history--Pope Francis--that is so engaging and yet so challenging to the Church writ large, the American Congress, the news media, and the world? The Rhetoric of Pope Francis: Critical Mercy and Conversion for the Twenty-first Century provides extensive insight into this question through a close, in-depth rhetorical analysis of Pope Francis's visual, spatial, tactile, written, and oral discourse. This analysis reveals how the interrelated topoi of illness, space, mercy, and conversion converge to articulate Francis's vision for the Church.

The Shattering of Loneliness by Erik Varden
ISBN: 9781472953285
Publication Date: 2018-11-20

The experience of loneliness is as universal as hunger or thirst. Because it affects us more intimately, we are less inclined to speak of it. But who has not known its gnawing ache? The fear of loneliness causes anguish. It prompts reckless deeds. To this, every age has borne witness. No voice is more insidious than the one that whispers in our ear: 'You are irredeemably alone, no light will pierce your darkness.' The fundamental statement of Christianity is to convict that voice of lying. The Christian condition unfolds within the certainty that ultimate reality, the source of all that is, is a personal reality of communion, no metaphysical abstraction. Men and women, made 'in the image and likeness' of God, bear the mark of that original communion stamped on their being. When our souls and bodies cry out for Another, it is not a sign of sickness, but of health.

Moral Vision by David Matzko McCarthy; James M. Donohue
ISBN: 9780802874870
Publication Date: 2018-11-01

In this new textbook two Catholic ethicists with extensive teaching experience present a moral theology based on vision--the idea that how we see the world shapes our choices and actions. David Matzko McCarthy and James M. Donohue draw widely from the western philosophical tradition while integrating biblical and theological themes in order to explore such fundamental questions as What is good? The book's fourteen chapters are short and thematic.
Christian Origins and the Establishment of the Early Jesus Movement by Stanley E. Porter (Editor); Andrew W. Pitts (Editor)
ISBN: 9004372695
Publication Date: 2018-08-16

Christian Origins and the Establishment of the Early Jesus Movement explores the events, people, and writings surrounding the founding of the early Jesus movement in the mid to late first century. The essays are divided into four parts, focused upon the movement's formation, the production of its early Gospels, description of the Jesus movement itself, and the Jewish mission and its literature. This collection of essays includes chapters by a global cast of scholars from a variety of methodological and critical viewpoints, and continues the important Early Christianity in its Hellenistic Context series.
The Mind of Pope Francis by Massimo Borghesi; Barry Hudock (Translator); Guzman Carriquiry Lecour (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9780814687901
Publication Date: 2018-10-15

A commonly held impression is that Pope Francis is a compassionate shepherd and determined leader but that he lacks the intellectual depth of his recent predecessors. Massimo Borghesi's The Mind of Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Intellectual Journeydismantles that image. Borghesi recounts and analyzes, for the first time, Bergoglio's intellectual formation, exploring the philosophical, theological, and spiritual principles that support the profound vision at the heart of this pope's teaching and ministry. Central to that vision is the church as a coincidentia oppositorum, holding together what might seem to be opposing and irreconcilable realities.
Confession by Patrick W. Carey
ISBN: 9780190889135
Publication Date: 2018-10-03

Confession is a history of penance as a virtue and a sacrament in the United States from about 1634, when Catholicism arrived in Maryland, to 2015, fifty years after the major theological and disciplinary changes initiated by the Second Vatican Council. Patrick W. Carey argues that theCatholic theology and practice of penance, so much opposed by the inheritors of the Protestant Reformation, kept alive the biblical penitential language in the United States at least until the mid-1960s when Catholic penitential discipline changed.During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American Catholics created institutions that emphasized, in opposition to Protestant culture, confession to a priest as the normal and almost exclusive means of obtaining forgiveness.
Saint Oscar Romero by Kerry Walters
ISBN: 9781632532657
Publication Date: 2018-10-02

"Carry on, always seeking truth, justice, peace, and freedom. Christ will give us strength so that we won't lose heart along the way."  - Saint Oscar Romero This new biography by Kerry Walters offers an inspiring look at St. Óscar's life, starting in childhood and then tracing his evolution from a conscientious but unremarkable (and at times curmudgeonly) priest to a heroic prophet and--finally--a martyr, gunned down in 1980 while celebrating mass. The "revolution of Christ's love" that so moved St. Oscar is as relevant to our own lives as it was to an El Salvador torn by civil unrest: motivated by the power of love instead of arms; seeking not the overthrow but the conversion of society; and asserting that all people are equally beloved by God and equally deserving of the world's resources.
Do You Know Who You Are? by Krishnan Venkatesh
ISBN: 0881466794
Publication Date: 2018-10-01

Do You Know Who You Are? is a unique study of the earliest recorded "discourses" of the Buddha, taking an approach that is at once psychological, philosophical, and literary. In a market abundant with how-to books for spiritual practitioners and advice for achieving a happy life by Buddhist masters, this book offers original readings of some of the most powerful of the Buddha's teachings, which take the form of conversations with a wide range of people: disciples, wandering Hindu philosophers, Brahmin white supremacists, ordinary householders, and even a tyrant. It is a book for all literate, thoughtful people who want to read for themselves what the Buddha really said and to understand their own condition better.
A Philosophical Primer on the Summa Theologica by Richard J. Regan
ISBN: 9780999513439
Publication Date: 2018-08-01

What is the meaning of human life? The Summa Theologica is, in effect, Thomas Aquinas' answer to this question. With the goal of showing why human beings exist, their destiny, and how they can achieve it, Aquinas argues that human beings exist to know God, that their destiny is to enjoy the vision of him in the next life, that they need to act properly in this life in order to be worthy of their destiny, and that the Church's sacraments are the means to do so. The Summa Theologica represents a major attempt to introduce the method and principles of Aristotle into the study of Christian theology. Intended for an educated general audience and philosophical neophytes,
Óscar Romero's Theological Vision by Edgardo ón-Emeric
ISBN: 0268104735
Publication Date: 2018-10-30

On March 24, 1980, Archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated as he celebrated mass in El Salvador. As the Catholic Church prepares to declare Romero a saint, Colón-Emeric explores the life and thought of Romero and his theological vision, which finds its focus in the mystery of the transfiguration. Romero is now understood to be one of the founders of liberation theology, which interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor. His theological vision is most succinctly expressed by his saying, "Gloria Dei, vivens pauper": "The glory of God is the poor who lives." God's glory was first revealed through Christ to a landless tenant farmer, a market woman, and an unemployed laborer, and they received the power to shine from the church to the world.
Gift ecology : reimagining a sustainable world by Peter Denton
ISBN: 9781927330401

In this thought-provoking work, the author argues that the attitudes and values associated with the economics of exchange are in part to blame for our current situation. We need to rediscover what it means to live in a universe of relations, not merely in one that can be counted and measured. The more we are able to replace an economy based on transactions with an ecology based on gifts, the more likely a sustainable future becomes for all of Earth's children.
