Christ’s Idea of Authority in the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is an incredibly engaging and creative work. John Wijngaards’s lifetime of commitment to ministry in the church is brought to bear on the place of authority in the community of faith. The reflections that make up this fascinating book interweave personal experience and the practice of Jesus. They make for a thoroughly original account of the importance of personal discernment for a renewal in ecclesial vitality where it most importantly belongs, at the grassroots of church life.”

Learning from All the Faithful

Theology

“This exciting collection takes the term sensus fidelium beyond being a buzzword of liberal theologians and grounds it firmly where theology must be grounded, equally in the insights of inherited tradition and in the theological wisdom of contemporary global Catholicism.”

Life Abundant

Theology

“Reading Life Abundant is exciting, thought-provoking, and ultimately heartening. I have profound sympathy for the aims of Sallie McFague's new book and deep admiration for the way in which it is constructed.”

Summer Sermons, Winter Thoughts

History & Biography

“Those who know Peter Hodgson only as a gifted teacher and scholar will be astonished and delighted with this collection. The ‘Summer Sermons’ show a thoughtful and compassionate mind at work. The ‘Winter Thoughts’ give the reader rich insights into the man behind the theologian and scholar of Hegel. Taken together, they present a portrait of an extraordinarily humane and gifted person, and they show that we need not choose between gratitude for the man and his work, for they are cut from the same fine cloth.”

Taking a Long Road Home

History & Biography

“Eugene Bianchi's memoir of a long life in and around American Catholicism is an eloquent testimony to his ongoing search for spiritual completeness. From his days as a Jesuit, to years of searching for love and fulfillment, to the quieter and perhaps deeper questions that have come with length of years, Bianchi offers an inspiring and often moving account of how a human life and a religious tradition are interwoven in ways both challenging and consoling.”
