Extravagant Love : The Self-Emptying Of Jesus
$10.95Add to cartThe theme of the book is the self-outpouring in love, or the kenosis, of Jesus Christ. The kenosis of the Son of God is at the heart of the identity of the Sisters of Jesus of Nazareth, for whom these reflections were initially composed. In baptism we are all plunged into the self-emptying life of Jesus and are called to live out this way of love in whatever situations we find ourselves. It is not surprising, then, that while the book was originally written to benefit a particular religious community it is, in fact, deeply significant to all followers of Jesus. Extravagant Love is not a sustained treatise on the kenosis of the Son of God. The mystery is too great for that. Rather, Ruth Burrows draws together scriptural and theological insights and her own lived experience of over seventy years as a Carmelite nun to offer various streams into the unfathomable ocean of God’s self-giving, ecstatic love. Each reflection is intended to begin in reading and to continue in prayerful pondering and contemplative wonder.

Sophia : The Hidden Christ Of Thomas Merton
$19.95Add to cartWhile numerous studies have celebrated Thomas Merton’s witness as an interfaith pioneer, poet, and peacemaker, there have been few systematic treatments of his Christology as such, and no sustained exploration to date of his relationship to the Russian Sophia” tradition. This book looks to Thomas Merton as a “classic” theologian of the Christian tradition from East to West, and offers an interpretation of his mature Christology, with special attention to his remarkable prose poem of 1962, Hagia Sophia. Bringing Merton’s mystical-prophetic Vision fully into dialogue with contemporary Christology, Russian sophiology, and Zen, as well as figures such as John Henry Newman and Abraham Joshua Heschel, the author carefully but boldly builds the case that Sophia, the same theological eros that animated Merton’s religious imagination in a period of tremendous fragmentation and violence, might infuse new vitality into our own.
A study of uncommon depth and scope, inspired throughout by Merton’s extraordinary catholicity.

Jesus Of Nazareth
$39.95Add to cartWho was Jesus? A prophet? There have been many of those. A miracle-worker? A radical revolutionary? A wise teacher? There have been many of these, too. In his latest book, renowned Scripture scholar Gerhard Lohfink asks, What is unique about Jesus of Nazareth, and what did he really want?
Lohfink engages the perceptions of the first witnesses of his life and ministry and those who handed on their testimony. His approach is altogether historical and critical, but he agrees with Karl Barth’s statement that “historical criticism has to be more critical.”
Lohfink takes seriously the fact that Jesus was a Jew and lived entirely in and out of Israel’s faith experiences but at the same time brought those experiences to their goal and fulfillment. The result is a convincing and profound picture of Jesus.

Christophany : The Fullness Of Man
$36.00Add to cartRaimon Panikkar’s life work has centered on articluating the way divinization is our full humanization, and how a human being, fully alive, is the best revelation of divinity. ‘The guiding thread of Christophany,’ Panikkar writes, ‘is to lead to a personal experience of that mystery.’
More than simply a book about mysticism, CHRISTOPHANY offers the attentive reader a way to experience the mystical depths of life. To know Jesus is to experience Jesus’ mystical life, in particular to share in divinity, and to know God as ‘Abba’. What happened in the life of Christ will happen in us and, in our transformed lives, God lives in us without us losing our own being.

Who Is Jesus
$24.95Add to cartWho is Jesus? This is the fundmental question for christology. The earliest Christians used various titles, most of them drawn from the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures, to express their faith in Jesus. They called him prophet, teacher, Messiah, Son of David, Son of Man, Lord, Son of God, Word of God, and occasionally even God. In Who Is Jesus? Thomas Rausch focuses on the New Testament’s rich variety of christologies.
Who Is Jesus? covers the three quests for the historical Jesus; the methods for retrieving the historical Jesus; the Jewish background; the Jesus movement; his preaching and ministry, death and resurrection; the various New Testament christologies; and the development of christological doctrine from the New Testament period to the Council of Chalcedon. Clear and accessible, comprehensive and coherent, a perfect volume for anyone, both new students and knowledgable seminary professors looking for a wonderful summary. -
Christ The Liberator
$38.00Add to cartJon Sobrino continues the magisterial christology begun in Jesus the Liberator. In that book Sobrino examined the identity of Jesus in relation to his message, his interlocutors, and the conflict that led to his death. In this second volume he takes up the Resurrection of Christ, the christology of the New Testament, and finally the christological formulae of the early church councils.
Throughout Christ the Liberator Sobrino writes from the reality of faith, as set in motion by the event of Jesus Christ, and from the situation of the victims — the “Crucified People” of history — particularly the poor of El Salvador, with whom he works. With Christ the Liberator Sobrino’s christology takes its place among the most significant contributions of Latin America to the church and theology today.

College Students Introduction To Christology
$24.95Add to cartWhy did some people want Jesus dead, while others came to honor him as the Christ? What does it mean to say that “he was raised,” and how did this belief get started?

Finally, what does belief in Jesus have to do with justice for the poor, the women’s movement, concern for the environment, and respect for other world religions?

Who Do You Say I Am
$28.00Add to cartWho Do You Say I Am? first reviews recent approaches to Christology, introducing a framework for discussions to follow. Next, the author addresses the question of what ought to be the point of departure of Christology: The New Testament? The historical Jesus? The interpretation of the disciples? Dupuis then traces the continuity between the functional Christology of the early church, and the onto logical Christology of later reflection. In the face of recent debates on the value of dogma, Dupuis shows what kind of logic is inherent in the elabor ation of christological dogma.

Life Of Christ
$22.00Add to cartWidely proclaimed a classic work of Christian faith, Life of Christ has been hailed as the most eloquent of Fulton J. Sheen’s many books. The fruit of many years of reflection, prayer, and research, it is a dramatic and moving recounting of the birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ, and a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and, most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millenia.
With his customary insight and reverence, Sheen interprets the Scripture and describes Christ not only in historical perspective but also in exciting and contemporary terms — seeing in Christ’s life both modern parallels and timeless lessons. His thoughtful, probing analysis provides new insight into well-known Gospel events.
An appealing blend of philosophy, history, and biblical exegesis, from the best-known and most-loved American Catholic leader of the twentieth century, Life of Christ has long been a source of inspiration and guidance. For those seeking to better understand the message of Jesus Christ, this vivid retelling of the greatest story ever lived is a must-read.
