"Fire of Love invites us to recognize the power and ever-expanding presence of the Spirit in our own lives, in the life of the church, in the religious traditions of the world, in the world itself, and in God's evolving creation. The author maintains that the whole world, including the wider creation and cosmos, is the Spirit's sphere of influence." "Augustine and Aquinas, the Hebrew prophets and the Hindu Upanishads, Gandhi and Muhammad, Teilhard de Chardin and theologians of the Eastern Orthodox traditions - all enter the conversation as this book challenges us to pay greater attention to the Spirit in the mysterious workings of our lives."--BOOK JACKET.

The Theology of Priesthood is the result of a two-year seminar and dialogue on the priesthood sponsored by the Central Province of Dominican Friars. The goal of the seminar was to promote dialogue around varied theological issues and pastoral concerns, representing diverse viewpoints, in order to deepen our understanding of priesthood in the Roman Catholic tradition. The focus was on the historical, liturgical, and theological aspects of priesthood that require further reflection.

Sexual drives are rooted in biology, but we don’t act on them blindly. Indeed, as the eminently readable judge and legal scholar Richard Posner shows, we make quite rational choices about sex, based on the costs and benefits perceived. Drawing on the fields of biology, law, history, religion, and economics, this sweeping study examines societies from ancient Greece to today’s Sweden and issues from masturbation, incest taboos, date rape, and gay marriage to Baby M. The first comprehensive approach to sexuality and its social controls, Posner’s rational choice theory surprises, explains, predicts, and totally absorbs.
