The Crucifixion of Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth died on a cross at the hands of Roman justice around the year 30 C.E. Thousands of others perished in the same way, and many people before and since have suffered far more gruesome torments. Why then is Jesus, Gerard Sloyan asks, uniquely and universally remembered for his suffering death? How has his death brought solace to many millions? To answer this question, Gerard Sloyan in this powerful historical tour de force tracks the legacy of the cross across two millennia of Christian reminiscences, piety, art, speculation, and mythicizing. Beginning with New Testament accounts, he shows how Jesus' death came to be seen as sacrificial. He then plots the emergence and developm...
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. The book includes a brief "intellectual biography" by Father Sloyan, as well as a bibliography of his works.
John
In this volume, Gerard Sloyan utilizes the lectionary approach to offer new insights into understanding the book of John. In so doing, he puts the Fourth Gospel in the Old Testament context within which the early church received the public readings of this Gospel. His emphasis on the use of John within first-century Christianity enables modern readers to grasp the meaning of the Gospel message. Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.
Catholic Morality Revisited
Sloyan vibrantly demonstrates the implications of the Catholic tradition of social morality for our use of possessions, the use and abuse of our bodies, and our collective understanding of success and failure in a "for-profit" culture.
Jesus on Trial
How did Jesus, a much-loved and highly respected Jewish teacher, get sentenced to death as a criminal? The questions of students and scholars about the actual circumstances, legal situation, and subsequent development of the Passion Narratives are here answered in Sloyan's second edition of this reliable resource, first published by Fortress Press in 1973. This second edition includes additional text, updated bibliography and notes, and a new preface.
Walking in the Truth
"The most usual interpretation put on the three epistles is that they were written in the sequence 1, 2, and 3 and came after the Gospel. ... The present writer has great respect for proponents of this theory but does not espouse it or indeed any other on the circumstances of composition. The attempt here is simply to explore what the three epistles may be saying when their meaning is obscure and to make accessible their mesage to the church of the present when it is not.There are so many echoes of biblical passages from both Testaments in this brief body of literature that it would be tedious to cite them all. A selection has been made. The remarkable thing is how much of it from the Newer Testament is extra-Johannine. ... In all, the field is so richly planted that it is an exercise in arrogance to attempt to harvest an additional yield. The present writer's comfort must be the ancient tag line, Non nova sed nove. There is nothing new in what follows but one thing or another may be expressed, without novelty, in a new way."--Introduction to the letters, pages 3-6.

Jesus
Rich in familiarity with Jesus Jewish world, Gerard Sloyan helps us discover a Jesus thoroughly situated in his own time and place. This impressive, clearly written work challenges readers to see both the historical Jesus who preached the in-breaking of Gods reign and the post-resurrection Jesus whom Christians named Lord and Savior.
