The authors, each with their individual and distinct style, expose aspects concerning the Christian faith thatcan help readers to personalize it and make it ever more deeply their own.

Exploring Faith with New Eyes offers sections for personal reflection and suggests ways in whichgroups can come together for study and discussion of the text.

This volume is the first in an ambitious initiative by theRomero Trust to provide English translations of a series ofbooks about the martyred Archbishop Oscar ArnulfoRomero. Romero has been attracting a growing interestworldwide because of his prophetic words and his option for the poor, which he faithfully lived out until hisassassination at the altar.

With an integrity and authenticity rare in the contemporary church, Romero managed to find an extraordinary synthesis between orthodoxy and the way it is practiced, and he exhibited a beautifulblend of deep prayerful spirituality and effective actionfor justice. Because of these achievements, he has become an increasingly attractive ecclesiastical figurefor the twenty-first century and a genuine icon for ourskeptical times. The United Nations has recognized him,and the Anglican Communion has virtually canonizedhim by including him with a special collect prayer in its annual liturgical calendar.

From the time Romero was named archbishop of San Salvador on February 22nd, 1977 until he was murderedat the altar on March 24th, 1980, he delivered 193 homilies that were broadcast to the nation by radio.These homilies were later transcribed and published in six volumes in El Salvador.

The homilies are the impassioned voice of a propheticpastor addressing his people and his nation at a time ofunprecedented crisis and violence. Romero unrelentinglycondemns the repression of the people at the hands of the powerful and resolutely commits the Church to thedifficult and dangerous struggle for justice and humanrights. The homilies offer an unsparing indictment of theharsh political reality of El Salvador but never cease to summon Salvadorans to respond courageously to theGospel precepts of peace, love, and social equality.

Presented in a style suitable for both specialists and the general readership, the present volume is an Englishtranslation of the first 46 homilies, delivered betweenMarch 14th and November 25th, 1977, corresponding tothe first volume of the original Spanish edition. Besidesthe regular Sunday homilies, this volume includes othersgiven at the funeral masses of Fr. Rutilio Grande, Fr. Alfonso Navarro, and Foreign Minister Mauricio Borgonovo, all victims of death squads.

Oscar Romero, born in Ciudad Barrios, on August 15th

1917, studied theology at thePontifical Gregorian Universityin Rome and was ordainedpriest in 1942. He served thediocese of San Miguel for 25 years. In 1977 he was the surprise choice as San Salvador’s new archbishop.Over three years he becamethe voice of the voiceless poor,speaking the truth about the violations of human rights andthe exploitation of the poor. His weekly sermons were legendary and gave hope tothe communities suffering terrible repression. He saw sixof his priests and dozens of lay leaders assassinated bythe security forces before he himself was gunned downat the altar as he celebrated a requiem mass on MondayMarch 24th1980. He is venerated in Latin Americaand throughout the world as a Vatican II Bishop who madea fundamental option for the poor and gave his life forhis people. He is already «Servant of God» Romero —the first step on the ladder to Sainthood.The cause for hisBeatification was accepted inRome in 1997. Ten years laterPope Benedict XVI stated «thatRomero himself merits beatification, I do not doubt».In that light the official recognition of ArchbishopRomero’s sanctity will surely be forthcoming.

A Study Guide on the Reign of God Antonio González Edited by Joseph V. Owens

978-1-934996-35-5232 PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 26.49Ministeria Series

Following his acclaimed God’s Reign and the End of Empires (see page 17), Antonio González has providedA Study Guide on the Reign of God. This new guide presents a challenging «social theology» that is especiallysuited for use in Bible study groups, small parish communities, and youth groups. Conversation starter discussion questions for each unit are included in an appendix.

González offers a fresh biblical theology for Christians who are struggling to understand how to livetheir faith in today’s swiftly changing, globalized world. It shows how the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, tells a story of God’s desire to liberate people from the political, economic, and social powers that subjugate them.

The first ten units of the guide, «Messianic Longing», introduce the reader to the «radicality» of the Bible’s understanding of human nature, grace, and sin; it then summarizes the powerful message of the Jewishscriptures in terms of election, exodus, and the reign of God. The second ten units, «Messianic Reality», present the heart of Jesus’ message: the reign of the poor,the community of disciples, the conflict with the powerful,and the meaning of the cross. The final ten units, «Messianic Community», recount the outpouring of theSpirit of the risen Jesus in the early Christian communities,where social relations were dramatically transformed,setting an example for how Christians should live today.

Antonio González, a noted Spanish theologian,has taught at the Jesuit University in Guatemala andvarious centers of higher education in Europe. He shareswith liberation theology theperspective of God’s option forthe poor and the centrality of praxis in the Christian message and life. He is a member of a Mennonite community and is author of Structures in Praxis, Trinityand Liberationand Theologyof the Evangelical Praxis.

A Face for GodReflections on Trinitarian Theologyfor our Times Maria Clara LucchettiBingemer

978-1-934996-54-6184 pagesLibrary BoundUS $ 28.99TraditioSeries

Since the dawn of time, humans have been seeking the face of God. Our times are no different. We live in aworld in which we find the coexistence of secularism and atheism, and religious institutions with ancient rootsexisting alongside new religious movements that formulate their own new synthesis in order to give expression to the reality of God. Within this pluralism,which points toward the never-ending search in the human heart, a need emerges for a deepening of the Christian conception of God.

A Face for God is a spiritual and theological reflectionon contemporary beliefs about God. After addressingthe philosophical background of today’s prevailing post-modern attitudes and rapidly changing cultural expressions, the author questions whether it is still possible to offer a profile and face for God, one with consistency and personality, amid the ambiguous religious feelings of our times.

The author offers useful suggestions for enriching thesearch for, and the experience of, God in our lives bydrawing a profile and face of God through the Trinitarianunderstanding of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Maria Clara Lucchetti Bingemer is Brazilian. In 1975she graduated as a journalist at the Pontificia UniversidadeCatólica do Rio de Janeiro whereshe also completed a Master in Theology. She obtained herDoctoral Degree in Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. She is regardedas an expert on layspirituality emerging from thebasic Christian communities in Latin America. Among herpublications are: Simone Weil:Una mística en los límites; Un rostro para Diosand Sentir y experimentar a Dios de unmodo femenino.

THEOLOGY



Present day neoliberal ideologies are generating a frightening and unpredictable growth of poverty, leaving millions of unemployed citizens and thousandshomeless-mercilessly pounding the weakest, creating and growing real dramas of inequality between rich and poor.

At the same time, we are witnessing the deterioration of the existing social model, cutting such basic rights as theright to health care or education, growing the risk of public exclusion of the poorest groups, weakening the defense of communal property, and damaging social cohesion.

The difficulties seem insurmountable. What can be done of the tyranny of financial powers to the worldcommunity?

José A. Pagola stresses the urgent need for us to studywhat Jesus thought of money and to learn through his words and gestures the messages that can bring us together towards a common destiny that serves a united humanity.

BIBLICAL STUDIES / NEW TESTAMENT

Words of Freedom The Biblical Messageof LiberationPietro Bovati SJ

978-1-934996-68-3Library BoundUS $ 41.99Upcoming 2016Biblica Series

Italian Jesuit Pietro Bovati reminds us that each section of the Old Testament contains expressions that explain and supplement narrated events that bring a powerful message of freedom and liberation for today.

His systematic study will facilitate insight of the sacred texts by examining both the stories themselvesand particular phrases— such as those of the Patriarchs and of David. His methodology of combiningboth exegetical and thematic perspectives provides a valuable articulation, revealing a rich reinforcement of the the importance of the theme of liberation as integral part of the whole theology of the Old Testament.

Pietro Bovati SJ, teaches biblicalhermeneutics, exegesis and theology of the Old Testamentat the Pontifical Biblical Institute(Rome), where he was alsodean. His publications includeRistabilire la giustizia(Restoring Justice), Il libro delDeuteronomio, (The Book of Deuteronomy), Cosi parla il Signore, Studi sul profetismobiblico (Thus says the Lord, Studies in Biblical prophecy),and Il libro del profeta Amos(The book of the prophet Amos).

BIBLICAL STUDIES / OLD TESTAMENT

The first Christian communities thought of themselves,above all, as followers of Jesus. For them, believing in Jesusmeant walking in his «way» by following his footsteps.One ancient writing, known as the letter to the Hebrews,calls it a «new and living way». It is not the path trodden in the past by the people of Israel, but a way «that heopened for us» (Hebrews 10:20).

For followers of Jesus, the four gospels are a unique and irreplaceable resource. They are not textbooks, expoundingan academic doctrine of Jesus. They are not detailed biographies, tracing his life in history. These stories bringus close to Jesus as the first generations of Christians remembered him, with faith and love. On the one hand, theyshow us the great impact Jesus caused in the people whofirst were attracted to him and followed him. On the other,they were written to inspire new disciples to do the same.They are narratives of conversion, and that is how theymust be read, preached, meditated on, and kept in the heartof every believer and every Christian community.

Pagola offers an approach to the story of Jesus as it wascompiled and presented by the Gospel of Mark. It will remind us of Jesus’ call to a real-life commitment to the visionof the reign of God in today’s society (See also: page 19).

PERSONAL GROWTH & MEDITATION

Gerry Pierse (1940-1999) was a Redemptorist priest fromCounty Kerry in Ireland. In the early years of his ministry,he served primarily in ruralmissions, while in later yearshe specialized in giving retreats. He was greatly inspired by the teaching ofBenedictine monk, John Main.Pierse had a gift with wordsthat made his teaching simple,clear and effective. He produced several books tohelp others persevere on thepath of Christian meditation.

Gerry Pierse offers reflections that encourage readers to engage in daily meditation by surrendering allthought and repeating a prayer word, called a mantra.Such meditation is a discipline to be followed every day as we attempt to create a space for God in which we grasp nothing and want nothing. We do not pray to be successful; we pray to be faithful.

Through this meditative experience we die to the self and are reborn into Christ. We do not need to seek God’spresence, because he is already within us; we must simply recognize it, for «The Kingdom of God is withinyou». Conviction comes through the meditative experience. We must always come back to the prayerword, persistently but gently.

The Prayer that Jesus TaughtGerry Pierse

John Main OSB a Benedictinemonk, was born in London in1926. During his youth histeacher was a Hindu monk,Swami Satyananda, whotaught him the technique ofHindu meditation. Later Maindiscovered that similar practices existed in Christiantradition. Main brought Christian mediation to the 20th century and proposed it to contemporary women and men seeking deeper spiritual growth in their lives.He moved to Canada in 1977,to open a house of prayer in Montreal and died in 1982.

Spiritual awareness and growth are high priorities formany people today. Meditation is the path to growth, theway to deepen our own commitment to life.

In the tradition of meditation the space for the expansionof our spirit is to be found in silence. Through contact with the Life Source we can begin to understand the mystery of our being and to realize our potential to enterinto fullness of life, fullness of love, and fullness of wisdom.The practice of meditation is quite simple, but it requires discipline in repeating a mantra again andagain. Once rooted, it flourishes.From Anxiety

Believe? Tell Me Why:Conversations with Those Who HaveLeft the Church José Antonio Pagola

978-1-934996-56-0104 PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 19.99FidesSeries

This book addresses questions and uncertainties expressed by those who have distanced themselves from the faith in which they were nurtured as children.Their faith is still there, flickering in the depths, but it is surrounded by doubts and prejudices. Pagola understands their reluctance to search the past for those once-comforting certainties, and is aware of theirunwillingness to return to the beliefs and practices of former times.

Offering guidance in their need for understanding various things about the faith, Pagola proposes not a process of catechesis, or meetings for religious formation, or prayer meetings for believers. Rather, he suggests that the most helpful way through this stagewould be to make the return journey with a group of fellow seekers who are taking the first steps toward a new faith by sharing their anxieties and experienceswith others.

With rootedness, not only in the Catholic tradition, but in a broad irenic catholicity, Sesboüé draws on the church’straditions of doctrinal development, deft adaptation to cultural circumstances, and confidence in the power of thegospel message to be borne by a variety of ecclesiologicalimages in order to offer rich insights into the possibilities of how ‘tradition’ might function as a vital category in thechurch’s contemporary witness. Theologians across geographical and ecclesial boundaries will benefitmightily form this work.

— Robert C. Saler, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago�

Gospel & Tradition is a concise, tightly written work mapping out how the Gospel has impacted the Tradition in a variety of epochs and cultural situations—creeds,sacraments, liturgy, mission, society. His work reflects a longstanding involvement in ecumenical dialogue. It doesn’t intend to propose subtle solutions to complex problems, butgoes a long way in elucidating the issues and questions facing us during the rest of the 21st century.

This is an extraordinary work of scholarship.Beautifully written, it is also an expression of the author’sprofound faith commitment… The author presents a compelling ‘approximation of that life’… A highly readable book that deserves a wide readership in the Church and the academy.

— Roberto Goizueta, Boston College, Former President of the Catholic Theological Society of America�

Pagola’s little book is excellent. Jesus: An Historical Approximation is a model of what the academy in service of the church should be: it is scholarly, faithful, ecumenical, and very well-written.

— Christopher Bryan, C. K. Benedict Professor of New Testamentemeritus at The University of the South,Editor of The Sewanee Theological Review�

Pagola has a simple message to convey. God must be understood as compassion, not power. In his book he setout to depict, in clear, accessible layman’s language, as much as the historical sources allow, a comprehensivepicture of Jesus of Nazareth. Just who was he? What washis contemporary world really like? Why did he want togo beyond complex religious codes and ritual practices?And why did he end up on collision course with the localJewish authorities and the delegates of imperial Rome?

— Mark Dowd, The Tablet, UK�This is an original account of contexts related to Jesus,and is among the most inspired books in biblical studies I have read during the last decade.

— Yves Laberge, Faculté de philosophie, Université Laval, Québec, Canada�

The controversial book, Jesus, Aproximación Historica,has sold more than 100,000 copies since its release in 2007. Convivium Press has now made it available in English as Jesus: An Historical Approximation.

God’s Reign & the Endof EmpiresAntonio González

978-1-934996-29-4384PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 32.95KyriosSeries

González masters a vast variety of economic, political,sociological and theological issues with a high degreeof scholarly command, clarity, and elegance. He offers a meaningful way forward and the courage not to losehope —for those of us who have theoretically and academically struggled for quite some time with thestructural, cultural, psychological, and overt violence of imperial capitalism… and for those of us who simplyfeel in our hearts that something is basically goingwrong in our society, culture and world and are lookingfor meaningful alternatives. This is social theology at its best.

— Ulrich Duchrow, Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Heidelberg�

In this book, Antonio González analyzes the nature of global empires since the time of Babylon. Within God’sreign, God alone rules, with mercy, love, justice, and special concern for the oppressed. Imbued with this faith,a new community of believers developed, who livedwhat Jesus proclaimed, sharing resources and practicingequality and forgiveness.

Antonio González, a notedSpanish theologian, has taught at the Jesuit University inGuatemala and various centers of higher education in Europe. He shares with liberation theology the perspective of God’s option forthe poor and the centrality ofpraxis in the Christian messageand life.He is a member of a Mennonitecommunity and is author ofStructures in Praxis, Trinity andLiberation,and Theology of the Evangelical Praxis.

978-1-934996-04-1152 PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 30.95October 2008TraditioSeries

Ladaria presents a powerful statement openly advocating the doctrine of universal salvation (as well as divination or deification of the saved as the goal ofGod for individual human beings). This eminent SpanishJesuit scholar carefully chooses his words throughout his book, making sure he goes only slightly beyond thelatest doctrinal statements of the Roman Catholic Church.Nevertheless, his advocacy of universal salvation is undeniable and openly proclaimed.

— David Sielaff, Associates for Scriptural Knowledge�In this collection of essays, Ladaria addresses why it isnecessary to maintain that Christ is the universal savior,even though this assertion may sound unintelligible, perhaps shocking, and even arrogant to some of our contemporaries. Ladaria holds to the uniqueness of the person of Christ as being essential for the ultimatesalvation of all humankind.

Archbishop Luis F. Ladaria, a Jesuit theologian who is currently the Secretary of theCongregation for the Doctrineof the Faith, has been a professor of theology at thePontifical Gregorian Universityof Rome since 1984.

Morality in Social LifeSergio Bastianel

978-1-934996-14-0360 PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 32.99EpistemeSeries

Morality in Social Life is a valuable work on the centrality of relationships, story, and virtue to morality inthe social sphere. Those who are quick to advocate for public policies based on theological principles willbe disappointed in this work, but they would do well to remember Bastianel’s central thesis: …God communicates himself in the man of Nazareth, in his gestures, words, his human way of living out relationships on this earth, in his living and dying, in his remaining present through the gift of the Spirit.

— National Catholic Reporter, Arlene Helderman Montevecchio, Director for Social Concerns, Gannon University�

Bastianel views moral personal life as more than a private and individual reality. He makes it clear that one’s relationship with the «other» is basic to the moral experience, and it constitutes part of the inner unity of afree and conscious responsible human being. With thatunderstanding Bastianel addresses the interconnectionsbetween personal morals and social justice, raising fundamental questions about political life and economics,about hunger and development, about common goodand institutions.

Sergio Bastianel SJ, is currently Ordinary Professor of Moral Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian Universityin Rome and also serves as its academic vice-rector.

He is a foundingmember and currently the secretary of the InternationalSociety for the Studies of Biblical and Semitic Rhetoric inRome and is one of the most important and renowned promoters of the rhetoricalmethod as it applies to Biblicaland Semitic texts.

With it primary focus upon freedom within the context of Israelite history, Professor Meynet’s Call to Freedomis a work of seminal and impressive biblical scholarshipthat will be of special interest to theologians and non-specialist readers alike.

— Midwest Book Review�Called to Freedom from Roland Meynet’s series on Biblical rhetoric presents a unique method of textualinterpretation. In this volume, Meynet posits that the concept of freedom in the Hebrew Bible is the guidingcore of all the sociopolitical distinctions within Israel’s religious experience and history. This original studyleads us through the experience of the people of Israel inthe Exodus. It guides us into a new reading of the Law in the two narrative sections of the Decalogue, seeing itas an expression of the search for the authentic meaningof human freedom. Called to Freedom makes an important contribution to the field of Biblical studies andis a topic that is especially relevant for modern society.

A New Introduction to the SynopticGospelsRoland Meynet


Meynet is to be acclaimed for taking the pains to engagein such a profound reading of the original texts… Not only does [he] relate the texts to the «biblical context», but his interpretations are also clearly guided by Catholic principles, as these are expressed in variousChurch documents that Meynet explicitly recognizes as authoritative. In fact, by not being restricted to pure description but also including hermeneutical application,his work seems to correspond quite well to what the Second Vatican Council expected and demanded ofCatholic exegetes. It is a truly theological book.

— Review of Biblical Literature, Tobias Hägerland, Lund University, Lund, Sweden�

Meynet offers a new perspective on the study of the Synoptic Gospels adding further insights within thegrowing body of modern research into the meanings of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Utilizing therhetorical method of analysis, Meynet studies the composition of the Gospels and makes it possible to understand them in systematic and unexpected ways.

A Different PriestThe Epistle to the HebrewsAlbert VanhoyeASSOCIATION OF CATHOLIC PUBLISHERSFINALIST2012 EXCELLENCE IN PUBLISHINGAWARDS


Vanhoye’s main concern is to examine how the distinctive rhetorical and oratorical elements of Semiticrhetoric shaped the profound theology of Christian faith and how it was proclaimed through the distinctive literary genre of the sermon. His book is a unique contribution to biblical rhetoric and Christian theology,and it will be a fascinating resource —rare and invaluable— for preachers and scholars of preaching.

— Rev. Eunjoo M. Kim, Ph. D., Director, Doctor of Ministry Program, The Iliff School of Theology�

Albert Vanhoye begins with an overall scan of the text’sstructure (which, he notes, takes a homiletic form more thanthat of a letter) and then provides a section-by-sectionanalysis, noting the rhetorical styles and concluding with asubstantial section on the interpretation and meaning of thesegment.The first part, which only examines one theme,“the Name of Christ”, offers a general and contemporaryChristology. The next two parts offer a priestly Christology, firstly more general and then more specific.Finally, the last two parts show the result of this for theChristian life, lived out in faith, hope and charity.

Cardinal Albert Vanhoyeis one of the most recognizedscholars on the Epistle to the Hebrews. He has taught it at thePontifical Biblical Institute and has written a great number of articles and bookson the subject. He is honorarypresident of the InternationalSociety for the Study of Biblicaland Semitic Rhetoric.


The Way Opened Up by JesusA Commentary on theGospel of MatthewJosé A. PagolaTranslated by MargaretWilde

978-1-934996-28-7264 PagesLibrary BoundUS $ 36.99KyriosSeries

Spanish theologian and biblical scholar José Pagola presents a powerful and distinctive «commentary» on thepastoral theology of Matthew’s gospel. This is not a technical, verse-by-verse commentary but a passionatereading of the gospel, concentrating on key passages in sequence, offering a succinct and insightful analysis ofthe text under consideration and a drawing out of its implications for Christian discipleship today. The purposeof the gospels, Pagola contends, was to give the Christianreader an encounter with the person and message of Jesus. This dynamic exposition of Matthew surely facilitates that purpose.

— Donald Senior, CP, editor of The Bible Today and President of Catholic Theological Union�

Matthew’s perspective shows Jesus transforming the expectations of the People of Israel —He is the fulfillmentof God’s ancient promises to them; he is God’s new presence with them after the destruction of the Temple;he is the Prophet of a new Law proclaimed from a newMount Sinai; and he is the Messiah who calls together the new Israel, which Matthew calls the Church.

MINISTRY

José Ignacio González Fauswas born in Valencia, Spain, in 1935. He has a PhD in Theology from Innsbruck andis currently Professor of Theology and Director of theCentro de Estudios Cristianismo y Justicia inBarcelona. He is author ofmore than 40 books, including Where the SpiritBreathes: Prophetic Dissent in the Church.

Gonzalez Faus’s analysis and vision future provides hope for the ministry for the twenty-first century. He offers aformidable challenge to those who characteristically viewthe ministry as consisting of «power, dignity, superiorityand remoteness» and offers hope to those who view theministry as consisting of «service, surrender, sameness and nearness».

— Anglican Theological Review, Scott M. Myslinski�González Faus is among the most influential theologians of the past fifty years, yet his work is largely unknown to English-speaking audiences. In this important work, hebrings his ground-breaking Christological insights to bearon contemporary issues of ecclesiology and ministry. Once again, he paves the way for a theology that respondsto the demands of the world church of the 21st century.

— Roberto S. Goizueta�The reader of this book will find a profound examinationand revision of the missionary caritas as the fundamentalspark of the ministry’s Christology, of the ministry’s biblicaltheology, and of the configuration of that same ministrythrough the whole of its history.

RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Michael Cuypers is a BelgianBrother of Jesus, the religious community founded by Charlesde Foucauld. Since 1994 hehas utilized the method ofrhetorical analysis in focusinghis studies entirely on the composition of the Qur’an text.Cuypers is professor at the Dominican Institute for Easternstudies which was founded in Cairo half a century ago,and is a member of the International Society for theStudies of Biblical and SemiticRhetoric at the Papal Gregorian University in Rome.

Understanding the Qur’an is essential to understandingIslam… Michel Cuypers presents an engrossing discussionof the actual text and makes a comprehensive scholarlystudy of what this means for Christian and Islamic relations.With his work appreciated by both Christian and Islamicscholars, he provides much to ponder for any scholar of theHoly Texts of the God of Abraham, and where the pathsmerge and where the paths diverge. The Banquet is a strongaddition to any Christian, Islamic, Judaic, and religiouscommunity and college library collections.

— Midwest Book Review�Michael Cuypers work is a groundbreaking contribution to Islamic-Christian studies and is beingwarmly received by the Islamic community. He applies recent methods of rhetorical textual studies to the analysis of the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam,which previously has been seen by many as a fragmented text with little sense of order. He hasachieved a systematic and organized reading of theQur’an text that is in absolute accordance with the Islamic faith, a task that has never before been accomplished.

— Arthur Quinn, St. Vincent De Paul Regional Seminary�For readers outside the Catholic tradition, this book offers an excellent panorama of the struggles of Hispanicpeople in the U.S. Most importantly, it describes the crucial issues that have to be dealt with by any churchorganiza tion that is being impacted by and wants to be responsive to the presence of different racial/ethnicgroups. The discussion about leadership training andabout the need of a more inclusive theological reflectionof ministerial training will be equally helpful to theologicalinstitutions and denominations concerned with a more relevant and culturally sensitive theological education ofboth white and nonwhite church leaders.

Following in the Footsteps of JesusMeditations on the Gospel for Year CJosé A. Pagola


More than ever we need Jesus. We need him as the centre of our personal lives and of our Church. But Jesus, too, needs followers afire with His passion for God’sreign, who will join Him and spend themselves for the Kingdom of God in today’sworld… José Antonio Pagola opens before us unsuspected paths in our following of Jesus.

— Vasco do Rego SJ�What Pagola impresses upon readers is that fact that following Jesus is serious businessand not to be taken lightly. In the introduction Pagola makes the point: “People changefrom within”. Perhaps one of the most serious problems of our religion is that we do notchange, because only what flows through our hearts changes our lives, and frequently is not the vital sap of Jesus that passes through our hearts.

— National Federated Priests Council, This Week�Pagola affirms that we can best perceive the truth of the Gospel by meditating long on the words of Jesus. Heartfelt familiarity with the Gospels inspires us with his love for theworld, builds up enthusiasm for the Kingdom of God, and makes room for his Spirit to rest in us. We are invited to begin or begin again with these meditations.
