Based on findings from six primary research studies carried out by the authors themselves, as well as other published research, this book reveals how undermining mothering plays a key role in locking women into abusive relationships and exacerbating the damage done by domestic violence.
This book offers a window into current realities regarding women's leadership in the global church and explores strategic recommendations to nurture this leadership in the twenty-first century. The essays in this volume were initially presented at an international conference organized by the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology (CWCIT) at DePaul University in 2018. The reference to "Daughters of Wisdom" in the title for this volume was aimed at capturing the diversity of ways which women have found to exercise their leadership in responding to the challenging and/or hopeful realities of their contextual locations and their faith and social communities.

All who live yearn for freedom--freedom from political oppression, poverty, disease, crime, war, and misery in all its forms. Christians believe that only God has the infinite wisdom, resources, and will to provide what we so desperately need. The contributors to Mary, God-Bearer to a World in Need offer scholarly explorations of ways in which the woman who bore God Incarnate into human history might help humankind to open its creaturely finitude to God's infinite possibilities. By relating such topics as faith, justice, economics, family life, and interreligious dialogue to Marian doctrine, humanity gains new insights useful for healing society's bleeding wounds. In these essays, the God-Bearer becomes present to a world still very much in need of the divine grace mediated through her motherhood.

Brian Bransfield helps you re-invigorate your spirituality by offering a life-giving practice and understanding of the Catholic faith.
Welcome to Camden, NJ, a city Walt Whitman once described as "invincible" that has now been labeled "the most dangerous city in America." It is also called "home" by the thousands who live here.

Bob McDermott, who seeks to revitalize a hopeless city by listening to and believing in a God who speaks through those considered "hopeless."

The two original volumes of the Encyclopedia of Catholic Social Thought, Social Science, and Social Policy were published in 2007. Those two volumes included 848 entries from nearly 300 contributors and included a wide range of entries in three general categories: entries exploring Catholic social thought at a theoretical level, entries reflecting the learning of various social science and humanistic disciplines as this learning relates to Catholic social thought, and entries examining specific social policy questions. This third, supplemental volume continues the approach of the original two. First, the volume includes entries that explore Catholic social thought at its broadest, most theor...

Jedna z najgłośniejszych powieści 2018 roku! Sally Rooney, nazywana Salingerem doby Instagrama, w Normalnych ludziach opowiada o trudnej miłości wplątanej w skomplikowane, zhierarchizowane relacje organizujące świat, w którym nastoletni bohaterowie muszą się odnaleźć. Rooney udowadnia, że o miłości nie napisano jeszcze ostatniego słowa. Marianne i Connell żyją tuż obok siebie, choć pochodzą z dwóch różnych światów. Mieszkają w niewielkim mieście, jednym z tych, z których chce się jak najszybciej uciec. Chodzą do tej samej szkoły, ale na korytarzu mijają się bez słowa, unikają swoich spojrzeń, chociaż łączy ich więcej niż wspólne lekcje. Ukrywanie tej znajomości nie jest trudne, komplikacje zaczynają się wtedy, gdy między dwojgiem nastolatków budzi się uczucie. Powieść Normalni ludzie nominowana była do Nagrody Bookera oraz otrzymała Costa Book Award w 2019 r. Ponadto stacja BBC ogłosiła, że historia Connella i Marianne zostanie przeniesiona na mały ekran, a adaptację wyreżyseruje Lenny Abrahamson.
