Daily life in Ancient Israel - Great prophets including, Hosea, Amos, Isaiah - People and lands of the Old Testament.
Pastoral Essays in Honor of Lawrence Boadt, CSP
Pastoral Essays in Honor of Lawrence Boadt, CSP, is a tribute to the late Old Testament scholar by his colleagues and friends. The twelve essays by leading biblical scholars address various questions that contemporary lay audiences have about the Old Testament, covering the major genres in the Old Testament (narrative, law, prophecy, poetry, and proverbs), as well as foundational issues encountered in serious engagement with the Bible (translations, the nature of God, the contributions of historical background to the Bible). Each essay is followed by questions, and there are bibliographies to foster further study. The book can be used on its own, as the basis for a multiweek or yearlong Bible study, or in the classroom as a supplement to Boadt's introductory textbook, and is suitable for personal reflection as well as for group settings.

The Life of St. Paul
This engaging, highly readable biography of St. Paul is an introduction to his thought and the major events of his life. In short simple chapters, the book covers not only the facts of Paul's life known to us through Scripture, but also the fascinating legends told by the early church about this key figure in the development of Christianity. The book is illustrated throughout with four-color paintings highlighting Paul's tumultuous life. These arresting pictures blend the "naive style" of painting, which is strikingly similar to the teaching-style art of the eleventh century, with the artist's own deep love of quilting. The charming result evokes the tradition of the great icons, transforming the book from a simply wonderful introduction to Paul to a truly wonderful gift. Together, text and art combine to make this unique presentation of St. Paul's life a written and visual delight for everyone. Book jacket.
Stations of the Nativity

Ideal for private, family, or group use with children ages 7-12, this new Christmas custom includes a Scripture passage, a brief meditation, a lesson, and a prayer for each station.
The Politics of Prayer

The Catholic Bible, Personal Study Edition
"The essential resource for Scripture students"--Cover.
Troubling Jeremiah
Troubling Jeremiah presents essays by Jeremiah scholars who are troubled by the biblical book and give the scholarship on Jeremiah trouble in turn. Essays seek to move beyond the Duhm-Mowinckel source criticism of the book to address matters of metaphor, final form, intertextuality, and the relationship of the book to various audiences of readers. Taken together, the 24 essays in this volume press for an end to 'innocent' readings of Jeremiah inasmuch as current models prove inadequate for troubling the very Jeremiah they have already helped to reveal.
Invitation to the Gospels
Provides commentary on each of the four Gospels.
Theology of the Diaconate
"In these three essays - which were presented as keynote lectures at the 2004 conference of the National Association of Diaconate Directors - Professors Cummings, Ditewig, and Gaillardetz construct theologies of the diaconate in conversation with one another and the church. The result is essential reading for deacons, aspirants to the diaconate, deacon directors, as well as the other orders of the clergy, and the laity" -- Book jacket.
