A Costly Freedom Theological Reading Of Mark's Gospel
Byrne, Brendan
Books > Theology > Theology General
With this study of the Gospel of Mark, Brendan Byrne completes his trilogy of works on the Synoptic Gospels. Mark, the "Cinderella gospel," as Byrne says, languished for millennia in the shadow of Matthew ("the first gospel") and Luke. Beginning in the nineteenth century, scholars uncovered what is now generally accepted as the more likely scenario: that Mark was the pioneer, creating a new literary genre ("gospel") in which to communicate the "Good News of Jesus Christ." This Good News according to Mark is essentially a message of freedom-a freedom, however, that does "not come about without cost: a cost to Jesus, a cost to the Father, and a cost to those called to associate themselves with his life and mission." Mark holds out to us both the price and the promise of freedom.

A Key to Balthasar
Nichols, Aidan
Books > Theology > Theology General
• The essential short guide for students to one of the greatest Catholic theologians of the twentieth century
• Written by the leading authority on the theology of Balthasar Hans Urs von Balthasar is widely recognized as perhaps the greatest Catholic theologian of the twentieth century. No writer has better revealed
the spiritual greatness of the revelation to which the art of the Church and the historic liturgies
bear witness. Yet students and non-specialist readers often find Balthasar daunting and difficult.
A Key to Balthasar is the ideal introduction to his work. It unlocks the treasure of his theology by
focusing on the beautiful, the good, and the true.
These are the three qualities of being around which his great trilogy - The Glory of the Lord; Theo-drama and Theo-logic - revolves. Though brief, it captures the essence of what Balthasar wished to say.

A Window To The Divine, Creation Theology
Hayes, Zachary OFM
Books > Theology > Theology General
This new edition of A Window to the Divine presents a summary of developments on a number of basic questions pertaining to creation theology and what a synthesis might look like at this time. It is based on the premise that contemporary believers can sense a remarkably rich communication of the divine mystery through the insights of science, and that the sciences may open even richer and more challenging possibilities to the understanding of our tradition.
"Our tradition is rooted in the belief that however the universe may look empirically, it is precisely this universe described to us at the empirical level by the sciences that our faith holds to be the fruit of God's creative knowledge and love. It is my hope that these reflections may help us discover in what sense this universe may truly be seen as a window to the mystery of the divine."

American Indian Liberation: A Theology of Sovereignty
Tinker, George E.
Books > Theology > Theology General
Why Christian understandings of Jesus and God clash with American Indian worldviews. "Tink" Tinker of the Osage Nation describes the oppression suffered by American Indians since the arrival of European colonists, who brought a different worldview across the ocean and attempted to convert the native population to the religion they also imported. The methodology, language, and understandings of Christian beliefs of the colonists and the majority society since the colonial period have largely failed to Christianize the native population. Different conceptual frameworks and different understandings of terms made (and make) Christian doctrine particularly unappealing and at times incomprehensible to Indians.

Asian Jesus, The
Amaladoss, Michael
Books > Theology > Theology General
In beginning this book, Michael Amaladoss states that images are important in helping us grasp who Jesus was and is. Following that insight, he unfolds the way in which nine images from Asian literature, culture, and religion open new horizons on the Founder of Christianity. The images are: Sage, Way, Guru, Satyagrahi (witness to truth), Avatar (incarnation of the divine), Servant, Compassionate One, Dancer, and Pilgrim.
Amaladoss helps us read the New Testament with new eyes. Not only does a Jesus more familiar to the peoples of Asia emerge, but we see how the East has helped the entire world Christian family gain a richer perspective on the man from Galilee.

Behold The Pierced One
Ratzinger, Joseph
Books > Theology > Theology General
In this profound and illuminating work, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger turns the gaze of an accomplished theologian upon the crucified Savior. This synthetic and meditative work is theological without being abstract or dry, and spiritual without being sentimental. The pierced heart of Christ must be the heart of theology and Christian life as well.
Proceeding from the prayerful dialogue between the Incarnate Son and his Eternal Father, Joseph Ratzinger shows how one can approach the mystery of the Heart of Christ only through the imitation of this prayer. To know and understand Jesus we must participate in his prayer. The prayer of Christ must be the interior life of all who are joined to him in his Body, the Church. Using the Old and New Testaments and the Church Fathers, Ratzinger shows that the ecclesial community (the Church) was born from the pierced Heart of Christ on the Cross.

This book explores the notion that the task of ethics is to help people become fully human and investigates how this is to be achieved in today's world.

Beyond the Culture of Care
Moran, Frances M.
Books > Theology > Theology General
Western culture has largely souled-out to the forces of the all pervasive marketplace in which everything has a dollar value, even human beings. How can we provide a pastoral response to the market mentality? A new pastoral practice is needed whose primary task is to affirm that people exist in the world as subjects not as objects. In this book, Frances Moran outlines the aim, principles of justification and a method for pastoral practice in our times, one that will enable people to recognise their humanity as subjects, and so acknowledge the realm wherein the spirit lives.
