A Letter to Stressed Communities

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Finlay offers valuable insights into the often-neglected Letter of Jacob, or James. He does so by discussing, first, the author’s typically Hebrew—therefore scriptural—mode of conveying wisdom, by deploying chiastic structures. Second, he challenges the readers to ‘crack the code,’ to walk in the shoes of the letter’s initial audiences, to grasp the message the way those audiences did. It is only then that, third, readers are invited to learn wisdom for life.”

Mariology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium

Theology

“The reader of Mariology cannot but acknowledge the complexity of the topic. These contributions illustrate the richness of Marian traditions throughout Christendom, their connections with a range of doctrinal, missional, and devotional aspects, diachronically and in contemporaneity. They show likewise how these other dimensions feed back into Mariology, adding dynamism to the topic. Whilst this is a book about tradition, its message is not about the past; it is a message for our own time.”
