Covenant and the People of God

Theology

“Mark Kinzer has been a mentor and dialogue partner for many theologians of different religious affiliations wrestling with questions arising from the fact that Christ has called ‘together a people made up of Jew and gentile’ (Lumen Gentium §9). This festschrift of essays centering on Kinzer’s vision of bilateral ecclesiology and the mission and witness of Jews in the church by an all-star cast of twenty-four scholars will be a catalyst to further reflection.”

The Bible and Reconciliation

Theology

“This work is a great resource on the deep biblical roots of the sacrament and the more general Christian life of penance, reconciliation, and conformity to Christ. Exploring the teaching of the Old and New Testaments on sin, contrition, penance, and reconciliation and situating the sacrament in this wider context, Prothro invites the reader to a life of repentance and love and of hope in the merciful God who will bring to completion the work of salvation that he has begun in us.”

The Theology of Renewal for His Church

Theology

“Distilling a pastoral wisdom born of decades of teaching pastoral theology in the light of Vatican II, Bushman studies the three paths of the church outlined by Saint Paul VI in Ecclesiam Suam: doctrinal penetration, personal and ecclesial renewal, and pastoral dialogue with the contemporary world. These paths are presented as the ‘hermeneutical key’ for the interpretation of the goals of the Second Vatican Council and its implementation in the life of the church.”

Two Jerusalems

History & Biography

“The Two Jerusalems is a beautiful testimony of the spiritual journey of a young Texas Baptist who passes through Messianic Judaism and Anglicanism to the Catholic Church. Matthew Wiseman tells his story with charm, humor, and deep theological insight into the need for Tradition, liturgy that grows organically from its Jewish roots, and apostolic succession. Wiseman travels far abroad to come gradually to an unexpected home and find that nothing he cherished is lost on the way.”
