Genesis

Theology

“Mary Healy's commentary on Genesis combines outstanding contemporary scholarship with the ancient wisdom of the Church. She shows how the book is a prologue for the entire Bible, revealing the deepest truths about the origins of the world, sin and evil, and God's chosen people. Interpreting the book within the whole Christian canon, she guides readers to contemplate Christ's hidden presence in the inspired text and how certain passages prefigure or point toward the New Covenant. For theological scholars and students, homilists and catechists, and all who wish to delve into Scripture, this is a trustworthy guide to reading Genesis from the heart of the Church for pastoral ministry today. Highly recommended!”

Practicing Radical Advent

Christian Living

“When the risen Christ knocks at our door and invites us to open it, the practice of ‘radical advent’ must begin. In this marvelous book, Laurie Brink shows us how to move step-by-step through periods of profound transition into whatever comes next. Showing how Scripture deeply reflects our own experience, she presents biblical characters as mentors to make our active waiting—from leap to landing—both productive and creative. Joyfully recommended for moving through life’s changes with grace.”
