Experiencing Scripture in World Religions

World Religions

“An excellent introduction to how members of major religious traditions experience scripture. The essays are informative, stimulating and engaging, introducing the reader to the variety of ways in which scriptures shape human life.”

Interreligious Learning and Teaching

World Religions

“Navigating religious diversity is one of the most pressing and transformative challenges of our time. Grounded in their rich experience of teaching and ministry, the authors reflect on the practical challenges and possibilities opened up by encounters with followers of other religious paths. This is a thoughtful and discerning guide for all Christians interested in exploring interreligious relationships in light of the best contemporary educational practices.”

Learning from All the Faithful

Theology

“At a time when Pope Francis is challenging lay Catholics to exercise greater leadership in the Church, this superb collection of essays draws on history, theology, ethics, and the social sciences to explore how the sense of the faithful has long contributed to the life of the Church and offers exciting possibilities for future development around the world. Highly recommended for all who care about the future of the Catholic Church!”

Obstacles to Stillness

World Religions

“Shodhin K. Geiman offers a carefully nuanced, judicious comparison of the paths of renunciant-contemplative life described by Evagrius of Pontus and Shakyamuni Buddha, emphasizing each figure's recommendations for handling obstacles through practices of self-surrender. By sharply distinguishing between the renunciant-contemplative life and service to the world, Geiman offers a thoughtful challenge to socially engaged Buddhists and Christians. Even those who will disagree with his conclusion will find much to ponder in his discussion.”
