101 Questions And Answers On The Saints
Evans, George, P
While there are many books on saints,this one is different. Keeping in mind the questions he has been asked by people over the years, George Evans has written a book in popular question-and-answer format that treats not only the saints' existence, place, and functions, but also the kind of honor given to them in the Church's liturgy and life.
The author treats such topics as beatification and canonization; hagiography, the study of the lives of the saints; and the role of saints in art.
An informational text as well as a book to pick up now and then for entertaining reading, this book offers readers a deeper sense of why the saints and the honoring of them has been influential in the lives of Catholics and others who strive to follow Jesus Christ and experience his love. It is a happy medium between the scholarly and devotional books that are its competition.

A Blessed Life: Benedictine Guidelines For ...
Derske, Wil
Numerous laypersons have experienced that the guidelines of Saint Benedict's Rule offer inspiring and realistic ways toward a blessed life, aiming at the growth and flourishing of persons and communities in which they live and work.
As in his previous and successful book, The Rule of Benedict for Beginners, Wil Derkse in this sequel is searching for those basic attitudes and virtues that characterize Benedictine spirituality, making them available for those living and working outside a monastery. The cultivation of silence and restrained speech; the dedication to work and study; the importance of humility (which is the courage to serve); the cultivation of hospitality, care, and stewardship; mutual respect and taking care of speaking "good words"—these are the book's main topics. All these attitudes are boundary conditions for a life on which God’s blessing is resting.

American Magnificat: Protestants on Mary of Guadalupe
Johnson, Maxwell (Ed)
Until recently, the loving message of Our Lady of Guadalupe has been limited to Catholics. With this volume of essays, however, a variety of Protestant theologians engage the tradition surrounding Guadalupe to demonstrate that she has a place in Protestant churches. The multicultural dynamic of today s churches should be explored and contemplated, possibly embraced and integrated into the broader church life. By critically and thoughtfully engaging the Guadalupe story, the authors in this volume provide insights on how Our Lady can be welcomed into the prayer life and worship of Protestant communities. With a foreword by Timothy Matovina and concluding reflection by Virgil Elizondo.

Apostle Paul and the Pauline Tradition, The
Finlan, Stephen
Much of the popular understanding of the apostle Paul has been shaped, not by Paul's letters themselves, but by the Acts of the Apostles. This understanding, many believe, leads to misunderstanding Paul's theology. In The Apostle Paul and the Pauline Tradition, Stephen Finlan takes a new approach, focusing on the letters themselves. He views the Pauline tradition as including the teachings and writings of Paul himself, the assimilation and often simplification of Paul's ideas by those who followed him and then wrote letters in his name, and the final form of the letters the church has labeled as Paul's. Through this broad, shifting, and expanding notion of tradition, readers will explore with Finlan such questions as:
- What did Paul really think--and write about Jesus, redemption, and the Christian life?
- Who were the original audiences that first received these texts?
- How and how much did Paul's followers change his ideas in the letters they wrote "for" him?

Benedict Of Nursia
Grun, Anselm
Anselm Grün, O.S.B., famed Benedictine author and cellarer—supplies manager—of his monastery at Münsterschwarzach, offers brief reflections on aspects of the Rule of Benedict. He sketches the life of Benedict and reflects on how Benedict’s instructions enable one to live constantly in the presence of God. Even the most mundane objects are signs of the presence of God. It is not merely that we focus our attention on God, but that we're aware that God always focuses attention on us, loving and encouraging us in all things. For example: he calls the cellarer to “regard all utensils and goods of the monastery as sacred vessels of the altar.”
Grün also ponders how work is an aid to prayer and how the Benedictine vow of stability is essential to building community. Silence and the solitude that characterize the monastic are conditions for the possibility of genuine community.
Each chapter concludes with a brief reflection on the state of contemporary society.

Butler's Lives Of The Saints: December
Jones, Kathleen
Since its original publication over two hundred years ago, >I?Bulter's Lives of the Saints has been one of the best-known and most used religious reference works of all time. The original works, including this December edition, have been updated twice previously in the twentieth century. The need has become urgent for this most thorough revision yet undertaken, completely rewritten and with substantial amendments to the selection of entries. This volume was revised by Kathleen Jones, working to general guidelines and backed by a team of expert consultants. The bibliographical notes to each entry, which have been such a valuable feature, are retained and updated, and in the case of major figures, expanded with notes on artistic representations. In many cases, these relate to legend rather than to history, so relevant legends are not discarded, but distinguished as such--which may have been a principle, but was not always the practice with earlier editions.
