Mercy Not Sacrifice
As Christians, we are often told that Lent is a time when we must sacrifice in order be worthy of God. But as Mark-David Janus, CSP, reminds us, it is important to reflect instead on what God wants most—Mercy. “Lent is where we come face to face with mercy, our need for mercy, the experience of God’s generous mercy, the challenge to be merciful to others, and perhaps hardest of all, be merciful to ourselves. It is through mercy we come to the knowledge of God.” In this spiritual journey through Lent—from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday—Fr. Janus invites readers to take a little time each day with a short quotation from scripture (taken from the day’s liturgy) and offers a thoughtful and thought-provoking reflection of his own that will challenge and enliven one’s faith.

Restoring the Gospels' Jewish Voice
Although Chouraqui and his work are well-known and celebrated in many parts of the world (especially in Israel, and in the francophone world), he is almost completely unknown in the anglophone world. This book represents an attempt to introduce his important work and inspiring legacy to an English-speaking audience, and to explore how it can enrich Jewish-Christian dialogue today. As a bilingual translator and Biblical scholar, I am able to make Chouraqui’s work accessible to English speakers who are unfamiliar with him—who may be intrigued by him but unable to directly access much of the material written by and about him in French.
Catholic-Jewish Relations
This book provides an introductory guide to key themes articulated in conciliar, papal, and curial statements of the Catholic Church as part of its ongoing dialogue and friendship with the Jewish people.
