Mary of Magdala
Two authors examine Mary Magdalene, her role in the early Church, and how the evolution of how she was viewed impacted the status of women in the early Church.
Le donne di Galilea
È realistico pensare che, nella Palestina del I secolo, delle donne si unissero a un profeta itinerante e al suo gruppo di discepoli maschi? Anche se la società dell’epoca non era del tutto estranea a fenomeni di itineranza femminile e il movimento di Gesù era più vicino a Giovanni il Battista che a gruppi discepolari rabbinici, gli indizi sono molto pochi. Tuttavia, il Vangelo di Marco sottolinea che sotto la croce e, più tardi, al sepolcro ci sono, a parte un autorevole membro del sinedrio come Giuseppe d’Arimatea, unicamente donne, che hanno fatto parte del seguito di Gesù e lo hanno servito per tutto il tempo che egli ha operato in Galilea. La riflessione sul passaggio tra il primo e il secondo secolo cristiano e sulla marginalizzazione femminile dall’ecclesia costituisce ancora oggi uno stimolo per restituire pienamente alle donne i testi biblici e ai testi biblici le donne

Colloqui non più possibili
«Parlare al telefono con Michela, anche solo chattare, oppure passare ore sul divano di casa mia a inanellare discorsi impegnativi mai portati a termine, o a casa sua, davanti a un piatto di zuppa di pesce, o anche al ristorante Il cambio di Trastevere sedute a quel tavolino che era diventato ormai "suo": tutto questo è stata una delle gioie più grandi degli anni in cui Michela Murgia e io ci siamo frequentate. Dieci: troppo pochi per tutto ciò che avevamo da dirci. Per questo tanti discorsi sono rimasti in sospeso, solo accennati. Almeno, questa era l'impressione, perché con lei si poteva andare avanti per ore in un gioco di continui richiami e di cambi di rotta, di balzi in avanti e d...
Kerygma and Prophecy
The Pope is first of all the pastor of the Church and sign of its unity. He can be a theologian professionally, or he cannot be, as it has happened for the majority of popes. ln both cases, in his teaching as well as in the choices he makes or in the orientations he offers, his teaching and his style are imbued with a theological perspective and ask theologians to confront with them. The collection "Pope Francis' Theology", calling upon the expertise of eleven theologians from various Countries of the world, aims at showing us what theology is at the base of such incisive words and such simple gestures with which Pope Francis has made us so familiar. They are eleven easy volumes, written in a captivating way yet able to show in a rigorous way the deep roots of his thought and action. Kerygma and Prophecy tries to trace the terms of the magisterium of Pope Francis that contain a sort of real "biblical theology", that is a vision of God and of man starting from Scripture. Indeed, his teaching is expressed in an authoritative way in the documents that in daily homilies, is due to one of the fundamental dimensions of the biblical theology, the kerygmatic one
Mary Magdalene
Rediscover the crucial roles held by women within the heart of Christianity. Favourite disciple, influential woman, true believer and follower of Jesus: how do we see Mary Magdalene today? Witness to Jesus' crucifixion and his burial, the first to announce the resurrection, she is without a doubt the most recognizable of the gospels' female figures, a central character in Christianity's foundational story. But centuries of alteration and resizing, of merging several female figures into one, have erased Mary Madgalene's apostolic role and left us with a misrepresentation. They delivered the figure of a quintessential repentant sinner, one in whom sensual beauty and mortification of the body are combined. When we reflect on the "Magdalene case", delving into the folds of history and the arts, and removing misunderstandings and manipulations, we rediscover the crucial roles women have always held within the heart of Christianity, despite their stories often going untold. Adriana Valerio's engrossing retelling of Magdalene's story, founded as it is in historical fact, is an unmissable opportunity to reclaim such roles in a church that remains largely patriarchal to the present day.

Judith
2023 Catholic Media Association First Place Award, Scripture – Academic Studies The striking scene of Judith cutting off Holofernes’s head with his own sword in his own bed has inspired the imaginations of readers for millennia. But there is more to her story than just this climactic act and more to her character than just beauty and violence. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of gender ideologies in the book of Judith, from the hyper-masculine machinations of war and empire to the dynamics of class in Judith’s relationship with her enslaved handmaid. Overall, this commentary investigates the book of Judith through a feminist lens, informed by critical masculinity studies, queer theory, and reception criticism.
Women Who Do
Meet the women who followed Jesus even when the Twelve failed. To be a disciple is to follow Jesus. And that requires action. But in the gospels, the disciples often falter. The Twelve even abandon Jesus at his crucifixion in many of the narratives. Yet it is female disciples who remain faithful to Jesus to the end. What do we make of this? In Women Who Do, Holly J. Carey examines what it means to be a disciple—and contends that it’s the women who best embody discipleship in the gospels. Carey describes the expectations and social roles for women in first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish contexts. Then she offers a close reading of each of the four gospels, as well as Acts of the Apostles....
