Liberation Theology

Theology

“A radical, risky, and powerful interpretation of the Fourth Gospel for our time as the call to liberation. In Herzog's passionate hermeneutic, St. John is understood in the light of the new politics, black consciousness, and the need for a corporate self and so for a new social and personal world. Less dogmatic and one-sided than the futurist eschatologies, this creative wedding of biblical interpretation and radical politics makes a real contribution, from which I have learned a great deal, to our barren American theological and churchly scene.”

New Ministries

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is an exciting, informed, thoughtful, and ground-breaking book on one of the most vital--and threatening--issues facing the contemporary church. Father Burrows seeks effectively to show that the older forms of church and clerical life, developed in the West, are both irrelevant and stultifying when transferred in to the Third World--and that, as a consequence, new forms of church and clerical life, forms still within the Catholic heritage to which he affirms, must be developed if the church is long to survive in that new world. Frankly admitting that his suggestions are only the beginning and by no means final, Burrows nevertheless makes crystal-clear the need for more open attitudes towards the forms of church and the need for more open attitudes towards the forms of church and clergy if the newer churches are to become genuinely creative forces in the Third World rather than lingering embassies from the First World. I found the work exceedingly stimulating, the approach fresh and open, and his suggestions more than worthy of careful thought by all those concerned with the Church in a global context.”

The New Universalism

Theology

“What is unique about Krieger's work is twofold: first, that along with mentor Raimundo Panikkar and, of course, Wilfred Smith, Krieger was among the very first to see clearly the new situation vis-a-vis plurality and to assess its consequences for theology. Secondly, and more important, while some others have dealt with the theological issues, Krieger has in this volume pursued with learning and with care the philosophical issues latent in plurality, and explored the possibility of communicative discourse across deep cultural and religious differences. This is a groundbreaking work in an area of the very greatest theological and cultural concern.”

The Travail of Nature

Theology

“This book represents a much-needed historical study of the attitude(s) within the Christian tradition toward nature.”

Theology of Hope

Theology

“A stimulating and important book, a 'must' for every theological student and every preacher who wishes to become acquainted with the most significant movement in contemporary continental theology.”
