The Word of the Lord at Mass: Understanding the Lectionary
The Word of the Lord at Mass: Understanding the Lectionary is an inviting introduction to the book from which Catholics hear Scripture proclaimed throughout the year. It explains what a Lectionary is, how it developed over time, how our current Lectionary grew out of the Second Vatican Council and differs from previous ones, and how, in harmony with the liturgical year, it presents Bible selections that unfold Christ’s Paschal Mystery.

An Unexpected Wilderness
At a time when ecological issues are prominent in religious and social discourse, this perfectly timed volume expresses a broad range of insights and opinions on ecology and the relationship between Christianity and the natural world.

1?2 Thessalonians
When Paul wrote First Thessalonians shortly after the recipients had accepted the Gospel, many significant issues had already arisen among them. Of great concern was the social complexity, and even persecution, they encountered because they had “turned to God from idols” (1:9). The countercultural stance of those earliest believers, and especially the impact that may have had for women, is addressed throughout this commentary.

Open Catholicism
"Open Catholicism", a collection of essays honoring Father Gerard S. Sloyan, probes the most crucial concepts in the Catholic tradition: God, Jesus and the Gospel, Church, ethics, liturgy, religious education, Catholic-Muslim relations, and the notion of Catholicism itself.

Religion, Death, and Dying
A wide-ranging anthology for general readers covering many religious, ethical, and spiritual aspects of death, dying, and bereavement in American society. What do various spiritual and ethical belief systems have to say about modern medicine's approach to the end of life? Do all major religions characterize the afterlife in similar ways? How do funeral rites and rituals vary across different faiths? Now there is one resource that gathers leading scholars to address these questions and more about the many religious, ethical, and spiritual aspects of death, dying, and bereavement in America. Religion, Death, and Dying compares and contrasts the ways different faiths and ethical schools contemplate the end of life. The work is organized into three thematic volumes: first, an examination of the contemporary medicalized death from the perspective of different religious traditions and the professions involved; second, an exploration of complex, often controversial issues, including the death of children, AIDS, capital punishment, and war; and finally, a survey of the funeral and bereavement rituals that have evolved under various religions.

A Common Word
A letter printed in the pages of The New York times in 2007 acknowledged differences between Christianity and Islam but contended that "righteousness and good works" should be the only areas in which the two compete. That letter and a collaborative Christian response appear in this volume, which includes subsequent dialogue between Muslim and Christian scholars.
