Hope in Action

Theology

“'Only the praxis of Christian hope can make an eschatological faith meaningful in a culture oriented toward a future in the making.' Rodenborn not only presents the reinvention of eschatology by Metz and Schillebeeckx after the pre-modern treatises on the 'last things' and beyond modern optimistic belief in secularization and evolutionary progress; he also points at the contribution these eschatologies can make for a contemporary practical resistance against suffering, animated by the Christian hope. Both for systematic theologians of today and historians of yesterday's modern theology, Hope in Action offers an unequaled and inspiring retrieval of the renewal of eschatology after Vatican II.”

Reading the Bible in a Secular Age

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Julius-Kei Kato invites us on a metaphorical journey to the New Testament village where he presents us to our spiritual ancestors, grand-uncles Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, Paul, and the great founding ancestor Jesus. In a surprisingly compelling way, Kato combines expert biblical scholarship with very accessible storytelling, stirring the attention of professionals as well as students. I highly recommend this inspiring exercise in both decentering biblical studies and challenging our hybrid identities in a multicultural secular age.”
