Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Every scholar would profit by having a copy of this thorough and judicious work on his or her desk. The authors have collected for us an immense amount of material and insight in a relatively short space, and many of us will be grateful for their efforts. This commentary is a profound witness to the unity of the Testaments in the mystery of Christ.”

The Concept of Woman, Vol. 2 Part 1

Philosophy

“Sister Prudence Allen's second volume of The Concept of Woman is an extremely important contribution in the effort to move from a rights-based feminism to one that is person-centered and addresses the question, 'Who is a woman?' Relying on primary sources, some of which are not often consulted, this study traces the emerging understanding of woman on the part of both women and men (often in dialogue) during the period from 1250 to 1500. While not ignoring the dark side of these centuries, this work in the history of philosophy follows the emerging consciousness of woman's identity as part of the increasing humanist awareness of the person's inner space. . . A careful and brilliant study.”

The Concept of Woman, Volume 3

“An excellent, dispassionate study of how human beings have thought about women over the centuries. Sister Prudence Allen is to be congratulated for making a serious contribution to our reflections on the concept of woman.”
