The book of Amos holds a unique and central place among the canonical prophetic literature and presents a special array of issues for scholarly discussion. This book provides a thorough and balanced overview of the history of scholarship on the book of Amos, two essays that trace the history of scholarship and offer promising lines for further inquiry, a substantial anthology of readings of the multiple ways Amos has been analyzed and appropriated, an extensive and current bibliography, and notes on doctoral dissertations conducted in recent years.

A perspective reader is struck by the harsh language of the dispute in John's Gospel as well as Jesus' atitude even towards the jews who supposedly beleved in him(see john 2:23; 8:31, 44). Almost from the outset, the johannine Jesus to speak about to speak about early on the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him (5:18; cf. 7:1, 25; 11:53). Indeed, only in the Fourth Gospel does Jesus ever ask his interlocutors: Why do you seek to kill me? and this not once repeatedly (7:19;8:37,40). Was this hostility really between Jesus and his contemporary Jews alonee or is there another way of making sense of the Gospel data? Read autobiographically, as a two-level drama the Gospel describes the goi...

It was the conviction of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) that the reservation of priestly ordination to men is intrinsically connected to the significance of the incarnation of Christ as a male. Von Balthasar was convinced that the incarnation of the eternal Son as male plays an intrinsic role in his economic mission. The present study is an attempt to understand the teaching of the Magisterium reserving priestly ordination to men by an exposition and analysis of the revelatory significance of the incarnation of Christ as male, and the relation of his maleness to priestly ordination according to the theology of von Balthasar.
Despite being rooted in a mostly Jewish traditional background, patriarchal, androcentric and misogynous in nature, Matthew places women as the sole witnesses to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Their continuous following of Jesus and their constant presence with him especially at the cross and the tomb meets with the discipleship demands in the Gospel, and therefore attribute to them certain discipleship functions in the firs Gospel. In the absence of the Twelve, Matthew portrays these women as models of discipleship. Through an exegetical-theological-rhetorical approach, the author critically evaluates a wide range of important contemporary literature on the topic, exegeting the Scriptural passages with care and diligence, with deep respect for the word of God, and maintains an irenic and critical sense in a field of study that is often polemical and given to exaggerated and uncritical exegesis.
This study presents contemporary theological conceptions of the magisterium-theology relationship in the United States as found in the writings of classical theologians, and three elder statesmen of theology: Avery Cardinal Dulles, Fr. Francis Sullivan, and the late Fr. Richard McCormick. It also examines the pronouncements of the U.S. Bishops, both as a Conference and as individuals, on this theme. The work addresses such important issues as the relationship between theological reasoning and magisterial statement, dissent, the natural moral law, the grades of Church teaching and the conditioning of dogma. The study aims to determine the definitive foundation for a correct rapport between magisterium and theologians.
La literatura rabínica, conocida también como la literatura de los Sabios o del judaísmo clásico, comprende la Misná-Tosefta y el Talmud, que forman el segundo canon del judaísmo y que fueron escritos en Palestina y Mesopotamia durante la Antigüedad Tardía (aproximadamente entre el 200 y el 800 de la Era Común), así como numerosos comentarios al texto bíblico o midrashim. Con frecuencia esta literatura se refiere a las mujeres bíblicas y revisa los planteamientos bíblicos relacionados con el género. Este volumen está compuesto por quince contribuciones y una extensa introducción. En ellas se examina la representación de estas mujeres desde la perspectiva y las inquietudes de los rabinos. También se explica cómo los Sabios adaptaron y actualizaron las cuestiones concernientes al género en una amplia variedad de textos rabínicos que datan de este dilatado período.
El leccionario del año litúrgico, que tiene como centro la persona de Jesucristo, quedó estructurado después del Concilio Vaticano II en tres ciclos (A, B y C) con tres lecturas para cada domingo. Un tesoro escondido contiene una reflexión y estudio, en clave de lectio divina, del evangelio del ciclo A. Con esta iniciativa, pretendemos que los acontecimientos de la vida de Cristo marquen el ritmo y ofrezcan profundidad y sabor a nuestra vida cotidiana. Esta publicación quiere ser el acompañante cercano y accesible que se hace presente para ofrecer rayos de luz en el camino. Lo decisivo es que la Palabra hecha carne, el tesoro por excelencia, vuelva a encarnarse en nuestra sociedad, en nuestro mundo.
La lectura "contextual" se practica poco en Europa. Fundamentándose en un serio enfoque literario, las lectoras y los lectores son orientados, por sus situaciones actuales, sus contextos de vida, a escuchar en las Sagradas Escrituras la Palabra que interroga precisamente esta vida. Partiendo de las realidades vividas actualmente por las mujeres en África, los biblistas analizan las figuras de Ana, la madre de Samuel, la "mujer-madre" tradicional, la "mujer valiosa" de los Proverbios, que desborda este modelo, las mujeres discípulas del evangelio de Marcos, y la "madre de Jesús", modelo de mediación.
