All the Fullness of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With her characteristic blend of erudition, kitchen-table wisdom, and deep spiritual insight, Bonnie Thurston catches up her readers in her love of Colossians and the One who stands at the center of the letter, drawing us into profound understanding of what it means to have the fullness of God dwell within, and allowing ourselves to be reoriented to live out what Easter asks.”

Cardinal Hugh of St. Cher’s Commentary on Jesus’ Parable of Dives and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31)

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Karris . . . provides us with a rare treat in this gem of a book that brings to life a thirteenth-century interpretation of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Karris shows that the work of Hugh of St. Cher is still as relevant today as in his own time. The parable, as Hugh interprets it, continues to disturb Christians of means and move them to action on behalf of persons who are made poor today.”

Interpreting the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Brown and Moloney team once again to create that ideal textbook for those who have little or no knowledge of the Scriptures. Not only beginning students but also interested general readers will find this book to be a treasure.”

Jesus

“This delightful book combines personal reflections, spiritual nuggets, insights from top biblical scholars, theologians, and archaeologists, in a folksy and engaging style. As Martin shares his pilgrimage, he makes Jesus and his land and times come alive, inviting others to meet Jesus and embark on their own pilgrimage.”

Setting the World on Fire

Preaching & Worship

“In this pithy, persuasive, and passionate tome, Dejmek shows that there is only one vocation for all Dominicans: preaching. She explores theological, pastoral, canonical, and practical underpinnings for formal pulpit preaching by Lay Dominicans, not negating the importance of preaching within one's life, nor proposing that lay preaching compete in any way with that done by the ordained. She fans into flame a blaze that is already ignited.”

The Figure of Adam in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“After a comprehensive review of previous interpretations, both ancient and modern, Legarreta-Castillo offers fresh insights from a literary approach to Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15. He shows important ethical and social implications from Paul’s use of the figure of Adam. Legarreta-Castillo is an emerging voice with much to offer.”

The Gospel of Matthew in Current Study

“This is a volume that every student of the New Testament will want to own. In it ten foremost Matthean scholars illumine topics that are of both scholarly interest and pastoral relevance, including health care and healing, Jewish-Christian relations, and feminist concerns. The overview of new directions in Matthean studies and the employment of a variety of methods in the essays make this a rich resource. It is a very fitting tribute to a beloved teacher who, like the evangelist, knew how to bring both old and new from his storehouse.”

Tormented in Hades

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Szukalski makes an excellent contribution to the study of the Lucan parables concerning the use of wealth. Using a socio-narratological approach, he opens up a new path for understanding how these parables, particularly that of the rich man and Lazarus, function to persuade those who are rich of the proper use of wealth and proper social relations. The challenge remains as potent today as in the time of Luke.”
