To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, three of the most important authors in the field of Spanish religious and theological thinking offer their reflections on the subject of faith. Each of them is a child of a Council member whose memory we are celebrating. The authors, each with their individual and distinct style, expose aspects concerning the Christian faith that can help readers to personalise it and make ...

Since the dawn of time, humans have been seeking the face of God. Our times are no different. We live in a world in which we find the coexistence of secularism and atheism, and religious institutions with ancient roots existing alongside new religious movements that formulate their own new synthesis in order to give expression to the reality of God. Within this pluralism, which points toward the never-ending search in the human heart, a need e...

This delightful collection joins together a diversity of poetic voices, each responding to Homeward, a classical music piece by composer Richard Danielpour.

Over the centuries, the crisis in ordained ministry has not been exclusively about the problem of celibacy, even though that is important and discussed here. The crisis is, above all, a crisis of "mission" identity. All ministry, and speci?cally the ordained ministry, must revive this missionary spirit in order to avoid a total relapse. The reader of this book will ?nd a profound examination and revision of the missionary caritas as the fundam...

Episteme, from the Greek, is the concept that gives shape to the way in which we think and perceive things. Moreno holds that people can best find meaning in community rather than in isolation. He believes that relationships among people within community are what shape their lives and ways of thinking. The author takes us on a journey through different periods of the history of philosophy and Western society up to the present, in order to prov...

In this book Vergote presents a psychological, anthropological, and religious analysis of contemporary humanity. He considers the human being to be a personal being in relationship, endowed with language and a profound yearning for happiness, capable of loving and offering himself to others, but at the same time, conscious of a divine mystery that transcends him and cannot be identified with precision. According to the writer, philosophical re...

Llamados a la Libertad from Roland Meynet's series on Biblical rhetoric presents a unique method of textual interpretation. In this volume, Meynet posits that the concept of freedom in the Hebrew Bible is the guiding core of all the sociopolitical distinctions within Israel's religious experience and history. This original study leads us through the experience of the people of Israel in the Exodus. It guides us into a new reading of the Law in...

Trigo sees each individual as having significance in terms of relationships with others, that is, within community. He emphasizes the importance of Christians being part of communities of believers whose faith is influenced by and strengthened within their own particular cultural contexts and their own unique values and social interactions. The author describes these Christian communities as taking various forms that can express themselves in ...

Albert Vanhoye begins with an overall scan of the text's structure (which, he notes, takes a homiletic form more than that of a letter) and then provides a section-by-section analysis, noting the rhetorical styles and concluding with a substantial section on the interpretation and meaning of the segment. The ?rst part, which examines one theme, "the Name of Christ", offers a general and contemporary Christology. The next two parts offer a prie...

In these two essays brought together for the first time in a single edition, the famous poet and essayist Armando Rojas offers us a stroll through the great questions about life, God and the religious experience in the modern world. He speaks to the spiritual dimension of life in light of literature and one's own inner journey. Rojas believes that the spiritual experience is within the reach of every human being. Through our own inner growth a...

Alberto Hurtado, SJ, is a saint of our time. His thought emerged from the intellectual and political currents of his time, yet his writings foreshadow the papal and Society documents on social justice that form the basis of our ministries today. This volume is an annotated translation of St. Alberto Hurtado, SJ, work: Moral Social. Working late at night during the last years of his life, Hurtado produced the rough typescript of this book, in w...

The Second CELAM (Latin American Bishop`s Council) Conference held in Medellín, Colombia, in 1968, proved to be a movement of grace, not only for the church in Latin America and Caribbean, but also for the world church at large. Viewed as foundational for the reception of Vatican II, the evolution of liberation theologies and the emergence of diverse ecclesial movements committed to peace, justice and the integrity of creation, the grace of Me...

Living in hope, Archbishop Romero engendered hope in the people he served. Sustained by Christian hope, he gave hope to many, especially those treated as non-persons. Practicing hope, he revealed that there is always room for a better world although warning about false messianisms. The one who lived by Christian hope and inspired hope in others paid the ultimate price: death... a violent death. He joined the countless martyrs throughout histor...

It shows God's desire to liberate people from political, economic, and social powers that subdue them. Suitable for use in scripture study circles, small parish communities, and youth groups.

Catholicism in the United States during the twenty-first century will be defined by the passion and the commitment of all baptized women and men who accept the invitation to intentionally give witness of their faith in Jesus Christ. For centuries, countless Catholics from many parts of the world built communities and kept the faith alive nearly in every corner of the country. Today is the turn of a new diverse and hopeful generation of Catholi...

In this work Freeman examines the radical question of our being in the world. We are here, he reflects, to come to continuous prayer, to a constant openness to the prayer of Christ in our hearts. Continuous prayer, he says, must not be understood as saying prayers all the time but as the living in a childlike state of simplicity, in which our ego concerns are left behind, opening the way to interior silence, communion with God, and greater pow...

Jesus never intended to found a Church made up of adherents to a religion, but to call together followers of the Way that he was opening up. Christian communities can only live up to that vision by keeping the real life person of Jesus and his message, the reign of God, at the center of their life. The four gospels, written in different historical and cultural contexts, give us different perspectives on that person and that message. This Bibli...
