A Journey to Freedom
Can psychology and religion engage in constructive dialogue ? Has psychology a contribution to make in Christian formation ? These are some of the issues addressed in this volume, marking 25 years of the Institute of Psychology of the Gregorian University. The twenty articles which make up the work offer essential insights into how psychology and religion can meet and interact constructively, at the level of theory and of practice. These insights are presented in the context of an overall Christian anthropology which continues to develop and to further refine its practical applications. The contributions are divided into four sections - theory and method, dialogue between psychology and other disciplines, applications in different cultures, and concrete experiences of applying a psychologically-informed Christian anthropology in the educational setting. The balanced approach presented in this work makes it both a serious instrument of study and a valuable point of reference for the educator. Its constant reference to a Christian conception of the person will help avoid short-sighted pragmatism.
I Want You to Be
In his two previous books translated into English, Patience with God and Night of the Confessor, best-selling Czech author and theologian Tomáš Halík focused on the relationship between faith and hope. Now, in I Want You to Be, Halík examines the connection between faith and love, meditating on a statement attributed to St. Augustine—amo, volo ut sis, “I love you: I want you to be”—and its importance for contemporary Christian practice. Halík suggests that because God is not an object, love for him must be expressed through love of human beings. He calls for Christians to avoid isolating themselves from secular modernity and recommends instead that they embrace an active and lov...
Formation and the Person
This book gathers the foundational concepts which characterise the approach to the person, as human and as Christian, which has been developed at the Institute of Psychology of the Pontifical Gregorian University during its more than 35 years of activity. The book directs these concepts towards further paths for investigation and puts them in dialogue with sister schools of depth psychology and with other areas of scholarship (in particular philosophy and theology) which are equally interested in exploring the human mystery. Hence the variety of authors - psychologists, philosophers and theologians - brought together by a common interest in understanding and forming the human person in bette...
Doing Theology and Theological Ethics in the Face of the Abuse Crisis
This volume is the fruit of a "theological laboratory" initiated by the then-Centre for Child Protection and the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church (CTEWC) called "Doing Theology in the Face of Sexual Abuse." Eventually those from the laboratory engaged those meeting for two years via "virtual tables," due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, twenty-six scholars offer insights on the crisis itself and pathways for moving forward. There is a certain urgency about this volume, which is not often reflected in works of theology or theological ethics. The sheer scale of the undermining of human dignity through sexual abuse that has occurred within the church asks questions of these disciplines and scholars within them: To what extent have we been blind to these issues? Why have our efforts in theology and theological ethics been so slow to wrestle with this crisis? How are theology and theological ethics implicated in the crisis? And how might the disciplines be constructive in responding? In this volume, we encounter a diverse range of scholars from all around the world wrestling with these and other questions.
Toward Healing and Renewal
On February 6, 2012, an international symposium gathered at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome to address the problem of sexual abuse of minors by representatives of the Catholic Church, especially priests. Its purpose was to make an honest examination of conscience and begin the work of healing this wound in the Body of Christ. With love inspired by the Gospel, the participants strove to create the beginnings of a culture in which effective protection of the vulnerable and support for victims can become a reality. Their work is presented here. Book jacket.
Religious and Priestly Ongoing Formation with Christ Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Religious and Priestly Ongoing Formation with Christ Yesterday Today and Tomorrow is surely a powerful religious instrument which can be used to better oneself as a religious or a priest in our todays fast changing society. It helps one as a religious to look back at the values which initially motivated him/her to be a religious. One looks at these values and evaluates oneself to see how such values have helped him/her to develop as a human person and a religious. In this way, the book works as an ongoing formation resource which helps one as a religious to grow spiritually and humanly. The book has also some practical case studies which may provoke some serious reflections within oneself. These reflections help one to have an ongoing burning zeal to serve Christ as a religious. Reading this book is a virtue of ongoing self discovery in ones life as a religious or a priest.
Touch the Wounds
In this masterfully written book, Tomáš Halík calls upon Christians to touch the wounds of the world and to rediscover their own faith by loving and healing their neighbors. One of the most important voices in contemporary Catholicism, Tomáš Halík argues that Christians can discover the clearest vision of God not by turning away from suffering but by confronting it. Halík calls upon us to follow the apostle Thomas’s example: to see the pain, suffering, and poverty of our world and to touch those wounds with faith and action. It is those expressions of love and service, Halík reveals, that restore our hope and the courage to live, allowing true holiness to manifest itself. Only face...
