Notable Catholic interpreters of Scripture discern the guiding values of biblical interpretation at the brink of a new era for the church. Under the influence of Benedict XVI and Francis, Roman Catholics, whether lay or religious, have found renewed interest in studying sacred Scripture. Yet the church has also grown and faces new challenges in the new millennium. What does the future of Catholic biblical interpretation look like? And how ought the church’s rich heritage of biblical interpretation continue to influence it? This volume collects essays by some of the most influential voices in Catholic biblical scholarship today. Covering a variety of topics, from the Old Testament to the Ne...
This is the first book in English on priesthood in religious life to be published in twenty years. Its fourteen contributors search for new ways forward in the understanding of the distinct identity and ministry of religious men—committed to community, the prophetic lifestyle of vows or promises, and the particular charisms of their congregations—who have also answered the call to priesthood. Essays in this collection include reflections from a bishop, from the perspective of a lay theologian, from an expert in the social sciences, and on Pope Francis’s teachings on priesthood. Included as well are essays that are rooted in particular cultural traditions, in spirituality, and in canon law.
Obra colectiva que ofrece una mirada caleidoscópica a los desafíos y oportunidades de la interculturalidad en la misión. La obra está dividida en dos partes: "Vivir interculturalmente" y "Misión intercultural". En la primera se aborda principalmente la vida de los misioneros que viven en comunidades formadas por miembros de varias culturas y naciones, se explican la riqueza de esta convivencia y el enriquecimiento de vivir interculturalmente, se articulan los desafíos que implica vivir en este tipo de comunidad, y se estudian los posibles modos para afrontarlos. En la segunda parte se analizan los desafíos para la misión en el cambiante escenario de la interacción entre culturas diferentes, especialmente en el contexto de la globalización, el fundamentalismo, la posmodernidad y la pobreza.
"An overview of trends in Catholic mission from SEDOS Mission Symposium 2021"--
"A valuable theological and pastoral resource for the conversion, transformation and revitalization needed in consecrated life today"--
A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be effective in the twenty-first century, mission must be prophetic as it encounters other cultures and religious traditions. "When we speak as mission as dialogue, then, we are about as far away from imagining mission as 'conquering the world for Christ' and missionaries as 'marines of the Catholic Church' as we probably can get. There has indeed been a radical shift, both in the world in which the church does mission and within the church's own consciousness of the goodness and even holiness of that world." These words from one of the essays in this superb collection clearly demonstrate the changing of mission today. In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder address a primary challenge faced by Christians missioners today: How can they bring the Christian tradition to interact respectfully and effectively with members of other cultures and traditions from around the globe and still be prophetic?
