She Who Is: The Mystery of God in Feminist Theological Discourse

Elizabeth Johnson

Herder & Herder, 1993

The world needs She Who Is
Johnson writes with an ultimate goal in mind, that of a transformation into new community. Her vision is one in which harmony with each other and with the earth are realized; an eschatological dream of a new heaven and a new earth where justice dwells and partnership ...

Transcendent Formation: Transcendent Formation (Formative Spirituality)
Adrian Van Kaam

Herder & Herder, 1995

Written That You May Believe

Sandra M. Schneiders

Herder & Herder, 1999

Written that you may believe
The promise of the subtitle of this interpretation of the Gospel according to John speaks eloquently to what Sandra Schneiders has brought to life in this well researched theological work. As she has noted in the text, one does not simply read the fourth gospel for it ...

The Mystery of the Supernatural (Milestones in Catholic Theology)

Henri de Lubac

Herder & Herder, 1998

A Christian Paradox revisited
In this work Fr. DeLubac proposes to study what he posits to be one of the central paradoxes of Christianity; namely that man is disposed towards and deeply desires the Beatific Vision but, if left to his own means, is incapable of attaining this end. What Fr. ...

El Hombre En Busca del Sentido
Viktor Emil Frankl

Herder & Herder, 2005

I Believe In The Holy Spirit (Milestones in Catholic Theology)

Yves Congar

Herder & Herder, 1997

This book provides the intellectual foundation for Cursillo
I read this book because I have been doing research on the Cursillo Movement (a spiritual renewal movement in various Christian denominations). Eduardo Bonnin, founder of Cursillo, references the work of Yves Congar in a 1996 interview in a Canadian newspaper as ...

Christian Spirituality V03 (World Spirituality)
Louis Dupre

Herder & Herder, 1989

From the World Spirituality series, this is a broad-ranging, illustrated, scholarly treatment of core topics in Christian spirituality in the period after the Reformation.

Patriotism and Fraternalism in the Knights of Columbus

Christopher J. Kauffman

Herder & Herder, 2001

Most complete work on the subject
As a Knight, I have read many works on the subject, but this is the most succinct and complete. Though these two compliments may seem to be at odds with each other, I find that none of the salient points from other books have been omitted, making this the book of ...

To Live is to Love

Ernesto Cardenal

Herder and Herder, 1972

Vida en el Amor
I've read this book in English and the Spanish original,and all I can say about it is that this is a very, very rich work. Reality is goodness. What is love, is, and what isn't love, is not. Sin and evil do not exist as such because they aren't self-sustaining, and ...

Towards A Papacy In Communion (Ut Unim Sint)
Hermann J. Pottmeyer

Herder & Herder, 1998

This ecclesiology of communion formulated at Vatican II, taken together with a correct interpretation of the teachings of Vatican I, points the way beyond a centralist understanding of the papacy and offers the framework for a new dialogue on papal primacy.

Jesus' Jewishness: Exploring the Place of Jesus in Early Judaism
James H. Charlesworth

Herder & Herder, 1996

Continuing research by both Christian and Jewish historians has markedly altered old stereotypes and has brought a new opportunity to explore the implications of Jesus' Jewishness. Among the contributors are Harvey Cox, James Charlesworth, Hans Kung, John Meier, David Flusser and Alan Segal.

The Joy of Being Wrong

James Alison

Herder & Herder, 1998

Totally intriguing
I would begin with a word of caution - this is extremely deep, intense reading, not a devotional book (as "Easter eyes" might be taken to imply.) It is a work where one must read each paragraph carefully, often more than once, to receive the full impact. In doing so, ...

In Memory Of Her: A Feminist Theological Reconstruction of Christian Origins (In Memory of Her Clh)

Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza

Herder & Herder, 1983

A "Must Read"
Those not familiar with Elisabeth's work might do well to read her article entitled, "Feminist Theology as a Critical Theology of Liberation". That article, published in a number of edited collections of feminist theology, lays out the methodology she uses in, "In ...

Scrolls & The New Testament, The (Christian Origins Library)

Herder & Herder, 1991

A pioneering work
As James Charlesworth says in his introduction, this book is a classic collection of essays regarding the 'hot topic' in scroll scholarship of how the scrolls relate to the New Testament. As most of the scroll scholars in the beginning were among the Christian academic ...
