Motioning the Way

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“A scientist-priest reflects on the Advent season. In Motioning the Way, the author, with his unique background as an English scientist-priest married to a German Lutheran theologian, delivers a deeply insightful examination of the Advent season, so beloved in both English and German culture. Refreshingly distinct from a mere devotional text, this volume delves into profound theological issues bridging themes of creation, redemption, hope and eschatology, understood through the liturgical season of Advent. Here the reader will find an in-depth treatment of key Advent figures such as St. John the Baptist and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the traditional O Antiphons. In this short volume, the author brings together insights from the scriptures, the Church Fathers, contemporary theologians and writers as well as his own scientific background, making it a rich, multifaceted study. Overall, Motioning the Way is a remarkable resource that offers fresh theological insights into this liturgical season.”

The Horizon of Faith

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a distinctive work in which we encounter a unique perspective on St. John’s Gospel that transcends the format of a traditional commentary. The author, who is both a scientist and priest, offers a deeply personal meditation that bridges the spiritual and scientific realms, a perspective especially relevant in our modern era. This volume will be accessible and at times gently challenging for a diverse readership—from those simply wishing a basic insight into the distinctive themes of the gospel to preachers seeking fresh starting points for homiletic preparation. The author’s scientific background brings an added dimension to the work, opening up ideas related to the cosmic dimension of the Christ of John’s Gospel. The timing of this publication holds special significance in this year when we mark the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea as Dr. Krauss considers at many points how this New Testament writing was key to shaping the Church’s later doctrines of the Incarnation and the Trinity.”
