Etat : Good. Harvey Cox is one of America's great public theologians of the past fifty years. In many bestselling books he has written on matters of religion and faith for a popular audience, including on secularism and belief, world religions, Jewish-Christian dialogue, liberation theology, Pentecostalism, Jesus, and biblical interpretation. In his new book he explores the question that underlies all religion: what is the point of life that ends in death? What are the different ways we think about the afterlife? What are we actually talking about when we talk about heaven? Interestingly, this is not a subject of great preoccupation in the Gospels. Jesus was concerned primarily with the Kingdom of God--about conforming the present world to the values and principles of God's love and justice. How this has gravitated toward concern with life after death is one of the topics covered here. Cox draws on personal stories, including his youthful work as an assistant his uncle, an undertaker, approaches to death in other cultures and religions; and his own reflections on mortality. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. This memoir by Maryknoll Sister Janice McLaughlin tells the extraordinary story of a life spent in service and solidarity with the people of Africa, and how this experience shaped her faith and her understanding of what it means to be human. The dramatic turning point of her story comes in 1977 when she was arrested in then-Rhodesia, where a white minority government had imposed an apartheid-style system and was waging a brutal war against the African independence movement. Sr. Janice, then working for the Peace and Justice Commission in Harare, and who frankly expressed her support for the liberation struggle, was charged as a terrorist sympathizer and held in solitary confinement for 18 days before being expelled from the country. She was later welcomed back to independent Zimbabwe to work on rebuilding the education system. That was only the beginning of a remarkable life, including work with orphans, those suffering with AIDS, and victims of trafficking, revealing how inextricably her faith was bound with service of the most marginalized and dedication to the cause of justice and human rights.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A guide for Catholics and Muslims on how to reach greater understanding of the other's tradition in order to work together to end social injustice This book takes on a specific challenge: We all, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, have a choice. Either we allow our fears to bear us along towards what could eventually become a war of apocalyptic dimensions. Or we can rouse ourselves from our fearful obsessions and search for ways not only to reverse this negative trend but also, and most importantly, to focus the world's energies on achieving peace and human flourishing (from the Preface). Taking up the story of the peaceful encounter between St. Francis of Assisi and Sultan Malek al-Kamil, the authors attempt to increase understanding between Christians and Muslims and to demonstrate how Christians and Muslims can work together for social justice. Basic tenets of both Christians and Muslims are described using clear, accessible language intended for general readers. After demonstrating how both the Bible and Qur'an call for actions that promote the common good and love of neighbor, Dardess and Mich suggest practical ways for Muslims and Chrstians to come together to implement specific programs of social justice.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. In December 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac in what is present-day Mexico City an Indian named Juan Diego beheld an apparition of the Mother of God.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Henri Nouwen found a remarkable spiritual guide in a severely disabled young man named Adam. Excerpts from Adam: God's Beloved In our society plagued by fear, anxiety, loneliness, depression and a sense of being lost, we keep looking for guides. We so much hope that someone--a guru, spiritual director or soul friend--can help us make sense out of our confusion and can show us a way to inner wholeness, freedom and peace. I recognized that Adam's way, the way of radical vulnerability, was also the way of Jesus. Adam clearly challenged us the L'Arche Daybreak community] to trust that compassion, not competition, is the way to fulfill our human vocation. This challenge forced us to reexamine all the basic assumptions of our individual and action-oriented lives. I am a witness to Adam's truth. I know that I couldn't have told Adam's story if I hadn't first known Jesus' story. Jesus' story gave me eyes to see and ears to hear the story of Adam's life and death.…
