Theology And Mediation
$50.00
College Theology Society Annual Volume No. 69
The Gospel of John quotes Jesus, “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). From the beginning, Christian thought has wrestled with questions of mediation. Following his death, resurrection, and ascension, how is Christ made present to the world today? How are distant communities held together in communion? What means should Christians use to spread the word of God?
Drawing together the best work on scripture, liturgy, ethics, and pedagogy Theology and Media(tion) explores historical and contemporary questions about how the Christian tradition has sought to navigate the tension between presence and absence in this significant collection of essays from CTS 2023. In addition to the plenary addresses by Robert A. Orsi (Northwestern University), Hanna Reichel (Princeton Theological Seminary), and Joseph Flipper (University of Dayton), it includes essays by Deepan Rajaratnam (Saint Louis University), Amy E. W. Maxey (Oblate School of Theology), Jane Sloan Peters (College of Mount Saint Vincent), Laura Taylor (College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University), Dennis Wieboldt (University of Notre Dame), Ethan Vander Leek (Marquette University), Jacob Kohlhaas (Loras College), Matthew Gummess (University of Notre Dame), Tim Dulle (Saint Louis University), Timothy Hanchin (Villanova University), Trevor Williams (Villanova University), Vicente Chong (Boston College), and Christopher Denny (St. John’s University).

Return Of The Prodigal Son
$17.00Add to cartA chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.
In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.
