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.
Iolaire by Karen Clavelle
ISBN: 9780888016119

December 31, 1918. Nearly three hundred men returning home to their families. The war to end all wars behind them. When the HMS Iolaire left port that evening she was overflowing with joyful soldiers who had survived the gun but would not survive the sea.
A New Way to Be Church by Jack Jezreel
ISBN: 9781626982901
Publication Date: 2018-09-20

Building on his experience as founder of JustFaith, a parish-based program for adult Catholics, Jezreel presents the case for how to renew parish life by promoting lay ministry with an outward mission-driven identity that connects evangelization, faith-formation, service, and social justice.
The Splendor of Marriage by Richard A. Spinello
ISBN: 9781621383895
Publication Date: 2018-06-06

St. John Paul II is recognized today primarily for the pivotal role he played in the fall of the Soviet empire. But the "Pope of the Family" was the leader in another international conflict, and for even higher stakes: the battle to defend the dignity of marital love.
Father Luis Olivares, a Biography by Mario T. García
ISBN: 9781469643311
Publication Date: 2018-10-08

This is the amazing untold story of the Los Angeles sanctuary movement's champion, Father Luis Olivares (1934-1993), a Catholic priest and a charismatic, faith-driven leader for social justice. Beginning in 1980 and continuing for most of the decade, hundreds of thousands of Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees made the hazardous journey to the United States, seeking asylum from political repression and violence in their home states. Instead of being welcomed by the "country of immigrants," they were rebuffed by the Reagan administration, which supported the governments from which they fled. To counter this policy, a powerful sanctuary movement rose up to provide safe havens in churches and synagogues for thousands of Central American refugees. Based on previously unexplored archives and over ninety oral histories, this compelling biography traces the life of a complex and constantly evolving individual, from Olivares's humble beginnings in San Antonio, Texas, to his close friendship with legendary civil rights leader Cesar Chavez and his historic leadership of the United Neighborhoods Organization and the sanctuary movement.
Asceticism of the mind : Forms of attention and self-transformation in late antique monasticism by Inbar Graiver
ISBN: 9780888442130

In this volume, the author makes extensive use of the insights of social cognition and related disciplines such as cognitive psychology to offer new perspectives on the practices of early Christian ascetics and monastics, focusing especially on what she calls attentiveness, that is, the methods ascetics used to focus their minds on the divine.
Spinoza by Steven Nadler
ISBN: 9781108425544
Publication Date: 2018-08-16

Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was one of the most important philosophers of all time; he was also one of the most radical and controversial. The story of Spinoza's life takes the reader into the heart of Jewish Amsterdam in the seventeenth century and, with Spinoza's exile from Judaism, into the midst of the tumultuous political, social, intellectual, and religious world of the young Dutch Republic. This new edition of Steven Nadler's biography, winner of the Koret Jewish Book Award for biography and translated into a dozen languages, is enhanced by exciting new archival discoveries about his family background, his youth, and the various philosophical, political, and religious contexts of his life and works.
Elizabeth Seton by Catherine O'Donnell
ISBN: 1501705784
Publication Date: 2018-09-15

In 1975, two centuries after her birth, Pope Paul VI canonized Elizabeth Ann Seton, making her the first saint to be a native-born citizen of the United States in the Roman Catholic Church. Seton came of age in Manhattan as the city and her family struggled to rebuild themselves after the Revolution, explored both contemporary philosophy and Christianity, converted to Catholicism from her native Episcopalian faith, and built the St. Joseph's Academy and Free School in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Hers was an exemplary early American life of struggle, ambition, questioning, and faith, and in this flowing biography, Catherine O'Donnell has given Seton her due. O'Donnell places Seton squarely in the context of the dynamic and risky years of the American and French Revolutions and their aftermath.
Hellenistic Philosophy by John Sellars
ISBN: 0199674124
Publication Date: 2018-09-26

The Hellenistic period was a rich and exciting time for philosophy. It saw the birth of two new schools of thought, Epicureanism and Stoicism, and important developments in Plato's Academy. Aristotelians and Cynics were also active during the period, all of which created a vibrant philosophical landscape. In Hellenistic Philosophy, Sellars offers a thematic introduction to the philosophy of this era.
The Reality of Love by Ingvild Rosok; Jan-Olav Henriksen (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9781532632372
Publication Date: 2018-01-12

Love is one, and love is all we need. This book argues against the traditional theological view that God's love differs from human love. If God is love and love is one, we will find God embodied in all kinds of genuine love experiences. By analyzing Karl Rahner's theology of love, the author explores how God penetrates and embraces the whole of reality, suggesting implications for Christian spirituality and spiritual direction.
Crossing the Threshold by Madeleine Mumcuoglu; Yosef Garfinkel
ISBN: 9781789250763
Publication Date: 2018-07-02

Every day millions of people enter public buildings of many forms and functions: Notre-Dame in Paris, Central Station in New York; the British Museum in London, that are decorated with recessed doorways. None of them is likely to be aware that this style of decoration has been continuously employed for 6500 years in temples, royal palaces, tombs, churches, synagogues and modern public buildings, becoming a symbol of the divine and of a place of worship.
Aristotle's Theory of Bodies by Christian Pfeiffer
ISBN: 9780198779728
Publication Date: 2018-09-26

Christian Pfeiffer explores an important, but neglected topic in Aristotle's theoretical philosophy: the theory of bodies. For Aristotle, physical science deals with perceptible substances, such as humans, dogs, or the four elements. Substances are bodies, that is to say, they are extended, their parts are continuous with each other and they have boundaries, which demarcate them from their surroundings.
Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas; Timothy Keller (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9781595552464
Publication Date: 2011-08-29

WHO BETTER TO FACE THE GREATEST EVIL OF THE 20TH CENTURY THAN A HUMBLE MAN OF FAITH? As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer--a pastor and author.
Life, Death and after Death by Lama Yeshe; Nicholas Ribush (Editor); Lama Zopa Rinpoche
ISBN: 9781891868252
Publication Date: 2011-01-01

The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, its spiritual director, to make available in various ways the teachings it contains. "Tibetan Buddhism teaches us to understand the death process and trains us to deal with it so that when the time of crisis arrives and the various illusory visions arise, instead of being confused, we’ll know what’s going on and will recognize illusions as illusions, projections as projections and fantasies as fantasies."

Pathways to Religious Life by Thomas P. Gaunt (Editor)
ISBN: 0190878150
Publication Date: 2018-08-07

The history of religious life in the Catholic Church has been filled with change: periods of membership growth and decline, shifts in the types of ministries, and changes in the ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds of the men and women who join. Today, as the numbers of new members diminish,some say that the very future of religious life is in jeopardy.
Rejoice and Be Glad by Francis I; Robert Ellsberg (Editor); James Martin (Afterword by)
ISBN: 9781626983052
Publication Date: 2018-06-01

The full text, with commentary, of Pope Francis's Apostolic Exhortation Gaudate et Exsultate. In his new apostolic exhortation, Pope Francis offers an inspiring reminder of the universal call to holiness and a practical guide about how to pursue it. While we draw inspiration from the official saints of the church, it falls to each believer to "discern his or her own path . . . rather than hopelessly trying to imitate something not meant for them." This is the mission that confronts each Christian: to discover and live out "the message that God wants to speak to the world" by our lives. In his typical fashion, Pope Francis uses his theme to address dangers in the Church, particularly in those who would transform the Church "into a museum piece or the possession of a select few."
Holy Rascals by Rami Shapiro
ISBN: 9781622037469
Publication Date: 2017-12-01

God is real. Everything we say about God is made up. Holy Rascals is a rousing call to anyone ready to go beyond "isms" and ideologies, and live in the world as a liberating force of justice, compassion, and joy. "Holy rascals are spiritual culture jammers who use humor, play, creativity, and critical thinking to reveal the human origins of religions--and how religions mask their true origins behind the conceit of divine origins," writes Rabbi Rami. Here, he illuminates: * The making of a holy rascal and the great task of "freeing religion from the parochial and for the perennial" *
