This is the question that was raised at the general congregation of the Jesuits about Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises and the question the contributors to this book explore and attempt to answer in the context of ongoing racial injustice in the United States. Contributors explore this question by examining how "color-blindness racism" determines our interpretation of the Spiritual Exercises in the United States"--

208,95 kr. "As a people of faith inspired by the belief that every human person is created in the image and likeness of God, Catholics have a responsibility to be champions for racial justice.

Grounded in church teaching and pastoral practice, this book is a resource for Catholics-especially White Catholics-looking to wrestle with the challenges of race in the United States today through the eyes of their faith"--

263,95 kr. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams often says that, no matter what, the proper stance of the Christian in the world is one of gratitude. In this book, Sister Joan Chittister, OSB, and Archbishop Rowan Williams offer us a sweeping set of things and circumstances to be grateful for 'things for which we can sing alleluia," "praise and thanks be to God."Some are things we naturally feel grateful for: God, peace, wealth, life, faith, and unity. But when these are set alongside other things we would never think to sing alleluia about 'death, divisions, sufferings, and even sinners 'we begin to see, as Joan Chittister says in her introduction, that "Life itself is an exercise in learning to sing 'alleluia ' here in order to recognize the face of God hidden in the recesses of time. To deal with the meaning of 'alleluia ' in life means to deal with moments that do not feel like 'alleluia moments' at al."In this series of reflections it becomes clear that singing "alleluia" is not a way to escape reality but receptivity to another kind of reality beyond the immediate and the delusional, of helping us understand what is now and what is to come.

122,95 kr. The Gospel According to John presents the New American Bible Translation of the texts along with the illuminating commentary of Scott M. Lewis, S.J. John's faith portrait of Jesus in this Gospel departs significantly from those of the Synoptic Gospels. The decidedly human Jesus of Matthew, Mark, and Luke gives way to the Jesus described by Lewis as "a majestic, serene figure, omniscient and totally in control of his destiny at all times." Only in John's Gospel do we have such special features as these:the rapturous prologue that salutes the preexistent Word of God made flesh and dwelling among us,the Cana wedding where Jesus supplies the party with a staggering supply of good wine,such unforgettable characters as the Samaritan woman at the well, Nicodemus, the man malingering at the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years, the woman caught in adultery, the man born blind, the once-dead Lazarus revived by Jesus,Jesus' profound and inspiring Bread of Life and Last Supper discourses,the unique resurrection appearances to the weeping Mary of Magdala and the doubting Thomas.Scott Lewis invites readers not to approach the text with preconceived ideas, but as if we are reading it for the first time. His clear and concise commentary helps us to be provoked, challenged, and enlightened by the "deceptively simple" but "irony-laded" words and actions for the Gospel's characters.The first of the Johannine Letters is more of a homily while the short and terse second and third ones follow the style of ancient letter writing. Lewis calls them "examples of moral exhortation" by the writer who encourages his believing community to behave in a manner consistent with their faith. As ancient as they are, the letters prove that times do not change that much. Today's Christian communities will see their own problems, disagreements, and divisions mirrored in this valuable correspondence so ably explained by the commentator.

323,95 kr. What is worship? Keith Pecklers, SJ., answers this important theological question by focusing on the basics of Christian worship. Beginning with the definitions of such terms as "ritual" and "liturgy" he writes in a very readable style about the historical/theological foundations of worship, tracing the evolution of Christian liturgy from the earliest centuries of the Christian era up to the reforms of Vatican II. Pecklers focuses on such liturgical issues of importance in our post-Vatican II Church as: inculturation, popular religion, and the social responsibility that authentic worship requires. He also considers some key social issues of the 21st century and their impact on our worship: the break-up of the stable parish community and decline in church attendance; the clergy shortage and priestless parishes; ecumenical liturgical cooperation and interreligious dialogue; the credibility of preaching; and how worship welcomes or excludes the marginated. Chapters are "Worship and Ritual," "Worship in Development and Decline," "Worship in Crisis and Challenge," "Worship in Transition," "Worship and Culture," "Worship and Popular Religion," "Worship and Society," and "Worship and the Future of Christianity."
