Faith in Action, Volume 1

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This collection of essays offers definitive proof that some of the most crea­tive, transformative theology in the church today is coming from Africa. These essays constitute an impressive body of theological scholarship but, more than that, they also give witness to a new way of doing theology, the way of African palaver. In this regard, African theologians are teaching the rest of us what Pope Francis really means by synodality.”

Holy Together

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Why would anyone wish to promise themselves unconditionally to another fallible and broken human being? In this gem of a book Kathleen Finley helps us see why this counter-intuitive marital commitment offers a beguiling path for spiritual growth and blessing. Written in beautiful yet accessible language that edifies and challenges, this simple book weaves together insights from the Christian tradition, personal testimony, and the surprisingly relevant witness of those who have gone before us.”

Jacques Dupuis Faces the Inquisition

Theology

“[This] book provides valuable context and probing insight into two previously unpublished pieces by the late Belgian theologian Jacques Dupuis. Under Burrows's tutelage, Catholics discover in Dupuis's thought ways in which they might continue to hold faith in the unique saving significance of Jesus Christ, while also affirming the deep spiritual wisdom of other religious traditions.”

Learning from All the Faithful

Theology

“Hinze and Phan represent two of the most influential figures working in Catholic theology today and they have brought together in one volume both established scholars and important new voices. This volume will serve as an invaluable resource for those wishing to explore how the Spirit of God continues to be heard in the world today.”

On the Eighth Day

Theology

“A clearly written, eminently accessible, and theologically perceptive reflection on sports . . . . The authors’ balanced approach considers carefully the dangers and ethical challenges that are often encountered in the world of sports. Yet, drawing on the riches of the Catholic theological tradition and a wide range of historical and contemporary illustrations, they also help us recognize that participation in sports may offer nothing less than a sacramental encounter with the divine.”
