Giuda, l'amico
«Amico, per questo sei qui!». Con queste parole al tempo stesso affettuose e sconsolate Gesù saluta Giuda, immediatamente prima dell'arresto nell'Orto degli ulivi. Eppure sia i Vangeli sia la tradizione della Chiesa lo hanno bollato con ben altri termini: traditore, ladro, «figlio della perdizione». Ma è stata davvero detta l'ultima parola su Giuda? Su un capitello della basilica romanica di Vézelay, che anche papa Francesco ha citato più volte, Gesù è ritratto come il Buon pastore che porta sulle sue spalle l'apostolo suicida: un'immagine sorprendente da cui l'autore parte per una rilettura rigorosa, originale e spiazzante dei testi biblici su peccato, perdono e misericordia. Giuda è il «caso serio» grazie al quale scopriamo che Dio non abbandona mai nessuno. «Da un lato del capitello c'è Giuda, dall'altro Gesù, che lo prende con sé. Loro avevano capito cos'è la misericordia! Con Giuda!» (Papa Francesco). Un piccolo caso editoriale in Germania (6 edizioni in 2 anni), grazie a una rilettura rigorosa ma spiazzante del Vangelo.
Bible Stories for Girls
Bible Stories for Girls contains eight Bible stories chosen especially to captivate girls. They feature strong women of faith, retold in a contemporary voice that is easy to relate to. The stories are prefaced with a short introduction encouraging the reader to think about the message contained in each; a section at the back of the book sets the stories in context and shows where to find them in the Bible. The illustrations are sophisticated with a classical feel, but have been given a modern edge.
Even the Dogs
This is a historical excursus that describes female ministries in the early Church. It analyzes the disputed traces of women in the presbyteral ministry, diaconal ministry, and the differences in ordination rite and functions for deaconesses and deacons of the Byzantine Church. Information is included on the gender balance of today's identical ordination rite and functions of deaconesses and deacons. The study also examines: the hypothetical possibility of female presbyteral ordination; belief in female subordination; the spousal symbol; Mary; woman and person; reciprocity; the incarnation of the Word; the impossibility of female presbyteral vocation; the value of doctrines; and the sacramental sign and substance of a sacrament. In conclusion, a prayer for female presbyteral ordination is proposed.

Illuminating a Legacy
This anthology honors Lawrence Nees’ expansive contributions to medieval art historical inquiry and teaching on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Delaware. These essays present a cross-section of recent research by students, colleagues, and friends; the breadth of subjects explored demonstrates the pertinence of Nees’ distinctive approach and methodology centering human agency and creativity. The contributions follow three main threads: Establishing Identity, Patronage and Politics, and Beyond the Canon. Some authors draw upon Nees’ systematic analysis of iconographic idiosyncrasies and ornamental schemes, whether adorning manuscripts or monumental edifices, which elucidates their unique visual and material characteristics. Others apply a Neesian engagement with the complex dynamics of cultural exchange, visual manifestations of political ambitions and ideologies, and selective mining of the classical past. Ultimately, this collection aims to illustrate the impact of Nees’ transformative scholarship, and to celebrate his legacy in the field of medieval art history.
Mark, a Pauline Theologian
"Is the wide range of indications in the Gospel of Mark for the influence of Pauline theology the fruit of chance or rather of the will of the Evangelist to unify his work with the thought of the Apostle Paul? In this study, Mar Pérez i Días argues that Mark, rather than being a disciple of Peter who puts in writing what he remembers from his preaching, is a theological disciple of Paul." --
