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.

The Quest for Love Divine
Charles Wesley and early Methodist women shaped Wesleyan theology and practice just as much as John Wesley. All these pioneers in the renewal of the church engaged together in a quest for love divine. That journey led them to timeless discoveries related to God’s grace, the liberating nature of life in Christ, the joy of Christian discipleship, and the sense of purpose to be found in partnering with God in the celebration of beloved community. The early Methodist people learned their theology by singing it. “Faith working by love leading to holiness of heart and life.” “Accountable discipleship.” “The rediscovery of a missional church.” Discover the meaning of sound bites like these as you explore these themes and more.
Bounded Wilderness
In Bounded Wilderness, Kathryn Jasper focuses on the innovations undertaken at the hermitage of Fonte Avellana in central Italy during the eleventh century by its prior, Peter Damian (d. 1072). The congregation of Fonte Avellana experimented with reforming practices that led to new ways of managing property and relations among clergy, nobles, and the laity. Jasper charts how Damian's notion of monastic reform took advantage of the surrounding topography and geography to amplify the sensory aspects of ascetic experiences. By focusing on monastic landscapes and land ownership, Jasper demonstrates that reform extended beyond abstract ideas. Rather, reform circulated locally through monastic networks and addressed practical concerns such as property boundaries and rights over water, orchards, pastures, and mills. Putting new sources, both documentary and archaeological, into conversation with monastic charters and Damian's letters, Bounded Wilderness reveals the interrelationship of economic practices, religious traditions, and the natural environment in the idea and implementation of reform.
Lettere a San Camillo
Il presente volume s’inserisce nelle iniziative promosse dall’Ordine camilliano per la celebrazione del IV centenario della morte del Fondatore, San Camillo de Lellis (1614-2014), patrono dei malati e di quanti se ne prendono cura. Il genere letterario adottato – l’epistolario – consente all’A di personalizzare i propri interventi e, nello stesso tempo, di rendere più accessibili queste pagine a quanti vorranno sfogliarle. Ne risulta un ricco mosaico in cui trovano risalto tratti caratteristici della persona e della vita del Santo, la sua umanità plasmata dalla grazia divina, messa a servizio di Dio e del prossimo con uno stile che ricalca quello del Cristo, divino samaritano d...
Social Class, Language and Power
This book foregrounds the ideas of an important European pedagogue whose writings provide insights for a critical social justice oriented approach to education. Lorenzo Milani has all the credentials to be regarded as potentially a key source of inspiration for critical pedagogy. Milani’s approach to education for social justice gives importance to a number of issues, notably social class issues, race issues especially with his critique of North-South relations and cultural/technological transfer, the collective dimension of learning and action (emphasis is placed on reading and writing the word and the world collectively), student-teachers and teacher-students (a remarkable form of peer t...
L’antigiudaismo
Da dove nasce l’antisemitismo? Quali sono le sue origini? Nel corso di millequattrocento anni nasce e si sviluppa l’antigiudaismo, l’insieme di pregiudizi e di preclusioni culturali e intellettuali nutriti nell’Europa cristiana nei confronti del popolo ebraico. La presente opera è un’accurata selezione di testi e di documenti sull’antigiudaismo nel periodo che va dagli albori del cristianesimo alle soglie dell’epoca moderna. Il lavoro insiste nella ricerca di fonti letterarie o paraletterarie con l’intento di individuare l’evolversi o l’involversi della percezione e della concezione degli ebrei nel mondo occidentale. Questo libro intende dunque essere una testimonianza delle difficoltà che durante i secoli dominarono i rapporti tra ebrei e cristiani.
Il profeta e la sentinella
Una fede che non si domanda come possa concretizzarsi nelle vicende esistenziali, sociali e politiche dell’uomo è inesorabilmente condannata alla sterilità e all’emarginazione. Il libro si rivolge all’uomo di oggi e alla Chiesa di questo tempo: le problematiche relazionali, la crisi della comunitarietà, il multipolarismo geopolitico e la riduzione della spiritualità ad una dimensione legata al benessere individuale, fanno da sfondo all’esigenza di rileggere e riscoprire il messaggio di un grande Padre della Chiesa da cui tutti possono attingere nuovi stimoli e sentieri di speranza.
