Jon Sobrino and Pope Francis
“To examine the use of “the preferential option for the poor” in theology today, this book turns to two contemporary Jesuits: Jon Sobrino and Pope Francis. Based on their understanding of the phrase, this book initiates a debate about the search for an alternative theological expression. It suggests that the ‘preferential option for the poor’ should be replaced by ‘compassion for the vulnerable’.”
The People Called Metodista
“I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power.” — John Wesley, 1786 “Church renewal” is widely discussed across Methodism today, and yet such renewal will not happen apart from serious engagement with and from the margins of society. Through a series of new and previously published essays, this book looks to the experiences of Methodists in Latin American pueblos and Hispanic barrios to open new scholarly conversations about doctrine, worship, and mission for the sake of social renewal. The flames of renewal do not co...
La spiritualité dehonienne relue à partir du concept de style
Dans une relecture de la spiritualité dehonienne à travers le concept de style, cet opuscule démontre que le fait que la Congrégation des Dehnens n'ait pas été fondée pour une oeuvre déterminée constitue une chance pour la résistance à l'épreuve du temps. La spiritualité dehonienne s'inscrit dans "une visée spirituelle" appelée aussi "fidélité dynamique". Elle trouve son accomplissement dans le style messianique et eschatologique de Jésus. Il s'agit de la sainteté hospitalière du Nazaréen tel que décrit dans les Evangiles. L'"être au quotidien de Jésus" et son ouverture au tout-venant devient le lieu par excellence où se féconde et s'interprète la spiritualité dehonienne qui, en expérimentant le "déjà-là" du Royaume de Dieu se tourne foncièrement vers le "pas encore" de ce même Royaume à travers sa "visée spirituelle". Le dehonien devient alors un être être en marche, mais pas un être en marche sans boussole. Sa boussole a été impulsée par l'intuition de foi du Père Dehon, mais une intuition qui se nourrit et se régénère dans l'"être au quotidien de Jésus".

The Mind of Pope Francis
A commonly held impression is that Pope Francis is a compassionate shepherd and determined leader but that he lacks the intellectual depth of his recent predecessors. Massimo Borghesi’s The Mind of Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s Intellectual Journey dismantles that image. Borghesi recounts and analyzes, for the first time, Bergoglio’s intellectual formation, exploring the philosophical, theological, and spiritual principles that support the profound vision at the heart of this pope’s teaching and ministry. Central to that vision is the church as a coincidentia oppositorum, holding together what might seem to be opposing and irreconcilable realities. Among his guiding lights ha...
Mateus Pinho Gwenjere a Revolutionary Priest
The book "Mateus Pinho Gwenjere: A Revolutionary Priest" depicts the life story of a Catholic priest from central Mozambique who in 1967 joined the Mozambique liberation movement, FRELIMO, in Tanzania, and was abducted from Nairobi, Kenya by the FRELIMO government agents in 1975 and summarily executed. Since his life was intertwined with the Catholic Church and the struggle for independence, the book also deals with such.The book sheds light on his religious thoughts as well as on his social and political activities. According to him, the Catholic Church in Mozambique was divided into two Churches: Mgr Gouveia's "Salazarist Church" which defended the interests of the Portuguese colonial regi...
The Meeting that Changed the World
The Council of Jerusalem, which committed Christianity to offering to gospel to all of humanity, was the most important moment in the history of the Church. Michael Knowles argues that the Church needs to rediscover the Council and its message for the sake of its own credibility today.
Models of Priestly Formation
2020 Catholic Press Association honorable mention award, church professional The preparation of new priests for ministry currently faces closer scrutiny than at any time since the Reformation, and the importance of effective priestly formation has perhaps never been clearer in the entire history of the church. In Models of Priestly Formation, some of the world's leading experts on the topic consider priestly formation since Vatican II, explore current best practices internationally, and imagine what the future of such formation might look like. The book promises to become an essential reference for every person involved in priestly formation and for anyone interested in understanding better how it is carried out and how those who do it think about their task. The eBook edition includes four additional essays.
A Benedictine Reader
A Benedictine Reader, 530–1530, has been more than twenty years in the making. A collaboration of a dozen scholars, this project gives as broad and deep a sense of the reality of the first one thousand years of Benedictine monasticism as can be done in one volume, using primary sources in English translation. The texts included are drawn from many different genres and from several languages and areas of Europe. The introduction to each of the thirty-two chapters aims to situate each author and text and to make connections with other texts and studies within and outside the Reader. The general introduction summarizes the main ideas and practices that are present in the Rule of Saint Benedict and in the first thousand years of Benedictine monasticism while suggesting questions that a reader might bring to the texts.
The Option for the Poor in Christian Theology
Since the publication of Gustavo Gutiérrez's 1973 groundbreaking work, A Theology of Liberation, much has been written on liberation theology and its central premise of the preferential option for the poor. Arguably, this has been one of the most important yet controversial theological themes of the twentieth century. As globalization creates greater gaps between the rich and the poor, and as the situation for many of the world’s poor worsens, there is an ever greater need to understand the gift and challenge of Christian faith from the context of the poor and marginalized of our society. This volume draws on the thought of leading international scholars and explores how the Christian tra...
