The selection of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires in the papal election of 2013 made history in several ways: he was the first Latin American, the first Jesuit, and the first pope to choose the name Francis. But these "firsts" were only the beginning of a consequential papacy of historic proportions. Entering the conclave of 2013, Cardinal Bergoglio appeared on few lists of likely candidates. How then did his election come about? Written by a top Vatican journalist, this book is an inside, day-by-day account of the process that began with Pope Benedict XVI's surprising decision to retire and continued up to Pope Francis's election and installation. Gerard O'Connell and his wife--herself a Vatican correspondent from Argentina--had befriended Bergoglio years before and were among the very few journalists who predicted his election. Now, relying on extensive inside sources, he reveals the basis for that confidence and shares with us what actually happened inside the secret conclave.

This is the first volume of "Walking with God," the best of Howard Thurman''s "sermon series," previously unpublished sermons that Thurman organized about a common theme. The sermons presented in Moral Struggles and the Prophets, all delivered in the 1940s and 50s, cover Jesus, Paul, and the great prophets of Israel, as well as figures who exemplified the "moral struggle" and others who "walked with God," including Albert Schweitzer, Tolstoy, Blake, Buddha, St. Francis, and Meister Eckhart.

Here is a book of deep wisdom from a prophetic rabbi who has for fifty years worked to promote a progressive spirit of renewal that connects Jews, Christians, and people of other faiths.

In 1987 Pope Francis published a small collection of letters by Jesuit Superiors General written in the eighteenth century at a time of grave suffering for the Society of Jesus as it faced suppression by the Vatican. These documents outlined a spiritual path for the church as a whole in times of "confusion and tribulation." Now Pope Francis has authorized this new edition, to which are added his own reflections in a time of renewed suffering for the people of God-specifically, the scandal of abuse.

In these heart-stirring reflections by Pope Francis, readers will meet Jesus and discover hidden treasure in the individual lines and words of Mark''s Gospel. Useful for both study and preaching, these pages simply allow us to be guided by Pope Francis, a master of prayerful silence, so that we may embrace a simple and living intimacy with Jesus, the Word made flesh.

In her latest book, scientist and theologian Ilia Delio takes up the challenge of reconciling evolution and religion with particular attention to the role of Artificial Intelligence. She argues that AI represents the latest extension of human evolution, which has implications not only for science but also for religion. If the "first axial age" gave rise to the great religions, she sees us now on the cusp of a "second axial age," in which AI, oriented by new religious sensibilities, can bring about an ecological re-enchantment of the earth.
