Old Testament Priests and the New Priest
Recent decades have seen passionate debate in the Church about the nature of priesthood. Cardinal Vanhoye's classic study, originally published in English in 1986, provides a much needed exegesis following the New Testament texts that speak of priests and priesthood. In the first century the question of priesthood was a distinct issue from that of ministries in the Church. This book identifies three series of texts about priesthood contained in the New Testament. In the first series the vocabulary of priesthood is used only in connection with Jewish priests and high priests, or - in one case only - in connection with pagan priests. In the second series, whose texts are all found together in ...
Christ Our High Priest
"At the end of these days of Spiritual Exercises, I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to you, your Eminence, for your spiritual guidance, which has been offered with such theological competence and spiritual depth. From my angle of vision, I have been able to see, on the wall of the Chapel, the image of Jesus kneeling before St Peter in order to wash his feet. Through your meditations, this image has spoken to me. I have recognized that precisely here, in this attitude, in this act of extreme humility, the new priesthood of Jesus is realized. It is realized in his act of solidarity with us, with our weaknesses, our suffering, and our temptations, even to the point of death. I have also seen the red vestments of Jesus with new eyes that speak to me of his blood. You, worthy Cardinal, have taught us that the blood of Jesus was, on account of his prayer, "oxygenated" by the Holy Spirit. In this way, it has become the power of resurrection and the source of life for us." POPE BENEDICT XVI

The Letter to the Hebrews
Written for theologians and graduate students in New Testament studies, The Letter to the Hebrews: A New Commentary, exegetes the entire letter verse by verse, paying attention to relevant issues for theology and spiritual life. Most remarkably, it explains why this "letter" is really a homily written by a preacher who must have delivered it several times in different places, and it offers an eloquent interpretation of the Letter to the Hebrews as a Christological hymn celebrating the priesthood of Christ. Highlights: - A thorough commentary - Written by the most renowned scholar - On one of the favorite and yet most enigmatic books of the New Testament: the Letter to the Hebrews. - It's not a "letter" at all--it's a homily. +
A Primer for Christian Doctrine
Penned by a Christian teacher who has led thousands of students through the unfamiliar terrain of systematic theology, A Primer for Christian Doctrine serves as a friendly guide to theology's topics, debates, and terminology. Telling you what you need to know as you begin your study of theology or doctrine, the book is an ideal companion to more comprehensive texts. After a brief introduction defending the continued need for doctrine, Jonathan Wilson clearly and concisely maps out each of the main topics of Christian belief in separate chapters. He also traces the differing emphases of theologians while suggesting reasons for their differences. Whether as a first taste of theology or as a readable summary of its present state, Wilson's Primer for Christian Doctrine will be an invaluable resource for students and small groups pursuing a deeper knowledge of what Christians believe.
Love in Action
This brief work revisits two conferences given by Cardinal Vanhoye during the first international meeting on charismatic renewal organized in Asia in May, 2009. This meeting took place in South Korea, in Kkottongnae, the "village of flowers" in Korean, where a new community has been established composed of all walks of life that exhibit an apostolic activity in numerous fields, particularly the service of the poor. The author analyzes the texts of Saint Paul on charisms and charity and shows how they must come together in the life of the Spirit. He explains how to enter into a true putting into practice of the commandment of love given by God. He touches on two points in particular: the question of the link between charisms and love; then on the link between love and action, which permits him to clarify the place to give to works in the Christian life. Finally, in drawing from communion the strength to love, he shows how to live the Eucharist that is continued in each of our days. +
