A Bride Adorned: Mary–Church Perichoresis in Modern Catholic Theology
Starting in the early to mid-nineteenth century, Catholic theology witnessed a profound retrieval of patristic reflection on the interrelationship of the Virgin Mary and the Church. This dynamic reached a doctrinal high point with the declarations of Vatican II and Pope Paul VI concerning Mary as “type of the Church” and “Mother of the Church,” and it also provided the impetus for further theological exploration of the deeper unity of the Mother of Christ and his mystical body. In A Bride Adorned, John L. Nepil examines how this interrelationship has been formulated in modern theology in terms of perichoresis, a notion of unconfused reciprocity or interpenetration drawn from Christol...
Reformulating Russia
Georgii Fedotov’s Saints of Ancient Russia, Georgii Florovskii’s The Ways of Russian Theology, Nikolai Berdiaev’s The Russian Idea and Vasilii Zenkovskii’s History of Russian Philosophy—these are among the most well-known and widely-read historical studies of Russian thought and culture. Having left their homeland after the Bolshevik Revolution, these four authors aimed to present their readers with a common past and thus with a common identity, and their historical works emerged out of the need for reorientation in a post-revolutionary, émigré situation. At the same time, they were to elaborate highly contrasting versions of the Russian past. By means of in-depth narrative and contextual analyses, Reformulating Russia provides a detailed examination of the visions of Russia contained in these four works.

This collection of Summaries of the Christian Faith has been put together to help people deepen in the message of the Gospel.

Key Theological Thinkers
The 20th and 21st Centuries have been characterized by theologians and philosophers rethinking theology and revitalizing the tradition. This unique anthology presents contributions from leading contemporary theologians - including Rowan Williams, Fergus Kerr, Aidan Nichols, G.R. Evans and Tracey Rowland - who offer portraits of over fifty key theological thinkers in the modern and postmodern era. Distinguished by its broad ecumenical perspective, this anthology spans arguably one of the most creative periods in the history of Christian theology and includes thinkers from all three Christian traditions: Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox. Each individual portrait in this anthology includes a biographical introduction, an overview of theological or philosophical writing, presentation of key thoughts, and contextual placing of the thinker within 20th Century religious discourse. Overview articles explore postmodern theology, radical orthodoxy, ecumenical theology, feminist theology, and liberation theology. A final section includes portraits of important thinkers who have influenced Christian thought from other fields, not least from Continental philosophy and literature.
Espiritualidade Laical
A presente obra tem o mérito de apresentar a espiritualidade cristã enquanto busca da santidade como processo de abertura progressiva à ação de Deus e reconfiguração da vida humana à sua plenitude: a imago Dei. Trabalha, em perspectiva católica, a vocação espiritual específica dos fiéis leigos, os quais, por sua índole secular, são a Igreja no coração do mundo e o mundo no coração da Igreja – inserção nas realidades temporais e instauração no mundo do Regnum Dei –, prescindindo, assim, de uma fuga mundi e fazendo ver a necessidade de um aprofundamento da compreensão acerca da espiritualidade laical. Os tria munera Eclesiae – múnus sacerdotal, profético e régio – são exercidos de modo peculiar pelos fiéis leigos, enquanto, pelo batismo, são membros do povo de Deus e sujeitos ativos da ação evangelizadora da Igreja. A presente obra constitui uma contribuição importante nesse tema tão relevante na atualidade!

Um carisma no tempo
Este livro quer dar a conhecer o Opus dei sob uma perspectiva diferente, partindo da memória viva da Igreja e da sua vivência ao longo do tempo, da sua sabedoria. Foi pensado para ir ao encontro de dois tipos de leitores. Aqueles que conhecem este carisma ou, pelo menos, têm alguma familiaridade com ele, aos quais dá outros elementos teológicos e eclesiais para o poder transmitir. Aos leitores que, embora tendo uma certa cultura cristã, conhecem menos esta instituição da Igreja, esta obra oferece elementos da experiência eclesial geral, que talvez lhes sejam mais familiares, com a intenção de ajudá-los a conhecê-la melhor e desmitificá-la. Mas, em geral, também é uma das vias para explicar um dom de Deus na Igreja e na história.
