A glossary of theological themes that appear in the letters attributed to St. Paul"--

Markus, wohl der »Erfinder« der literarischen Gattung Evangelium, erzählt die Frohe Botschaft als Botschaft der Freiheit. Diesem Leitmotiv, das das Evangelium durchzieht, gilt die besondere Aufmerksamkeit von Brendan Byrne. Denn die verheißene Freiheit hat ihren Preis - für Jesus selbst, für Gott Vater und für die Jüngerinnen und Jünger. Dieses bemerkenswerte Werk bietet nicht nur einen Überblick über die theologische Linie des Markus und eine...

Brendan Byrnes Leitidee für einen exegetischen und spirituellen Zugang zum Matthäusevangelium ist Jesu Forderung an die Schriftgelehrten seiner Zeit, die Tora so auszulegen, dass die Last nicht vergrößert, sondern weggenommen wird. Zentral für die Beziehung zu Gott ist nicht »der Zehnte für Minze, Dill und Kümmel«, sondern »das Wichtigste im Gesetz: Recht, Barmherzigkeit und Treue« (Mt 23, 23). Daneben bilden Impulse über die Lage der Kirche i...

Discussion questions provided at the end of each talk serve as a st...

Christmas is celebrated differently all around the world.Some people celebrate it in the cold of Winter by making snow angels and snowmen, before snuggling up in front of a roaring fire and sipping eggnog to stay warm. Others celebrate it in the heat of Summer, at the beach or pool, and cooking up a feast on the BBQ. Some enjoy decorating their home and Christmas tree with lots of lights and ornaments, and some simply fill the house with the b...

Brendan Byrne erschließt das Lukasevangelium als Erzählung von wechselseitiger Gastfreundschaft - und damit als Geschichte einer Beziehung: Lukas zeigt Jesus als "Besuch" Gottes auf der Erde. Von manchen wird er abgelehnt, von anderen aber willkommen geheißen. Die, die ihn aufnehmen, kann Jesus seinerseits einladen, dem Vater zu begegnen. Dieses bemerkenswerte Werk bietet nicht nur einen Überblick über die theologische Linie des Lukas und eine...

This is a collection of verse modelled on the traditional Japanese tanka and haiku poetic forms. Covering themes ranging from love and parenthood, to the passing seasons and scenes from daily life, this collection seeks to use these ancient forms to speak into contemporary, yet universally human, experience. The collection is preceded by a brief introduction to tanka and haiku, their history, and literary significance.

This commentary adopts a literary-rhetorical approach, viewing the letter as an instrument of persuasion designed to transform readers through a celebratory presentation of the Gospel. Reflecting upon the fate of Jews and Gentiles, Paul wins his audience to a vision of a God who always acts inclusively. The God who, in the person of Israel's Messiah (Jesus), has acted faithfully to include the Gentile peoples within the community of salvation,...

Luke portrays the life and ministry of Jesus as a divine "visitation" to the world, seeking hospitality. The One who comes as visitor and guest becomes host and offers a hospitality in which the entire world can become truly human, be at home, and know salvation in the depths of their hearts. In this new edition of The Hospitality of God, Brendan Byrne, SJ, provides to-the-point commentary on those parts of Luke's gospel that bring home to peo...

The fourth gospel addresses the thirst for life that lies at the depth of every human heart. The life in question is not just physical life but the more abundant life (John 10:10) that is nothing less than a share in the eternal life of the divine communion of love. In "Life Abounding, "Brendan Byrne, SJ, facilitates a reading of John for readers today so that it may move them from mere existence to a conscious sense of sharing the divine eter...

With this study of the Gospel of Mark, Brendan Byrne completes his trilogy of works on the Synoptic Gospels. Mark, the "Cinderella gospel, " as Byrne says, languished for millennia in the shadow of Matthew ("the first gospel") and Luke. Beginning in the nineteenth century, scholars uncovered what is now generally accepted as the more likely scenario: that Mark was the pioneer, creating a new literary genre ("gospel") in which to communicate th...

This commentary brings out positive emphases in Galatians and Romans, while also remaining sensitive to the part these letters have played in divisions between Protestants and Catholics, on the one hand, and Christian caricature of Judaism, on the other. The aim is to clarify and shed light where Paul can be obscure as well as to bring out the full riches of his powerful presentation of the Good News for the life of believers today.
