Dear Friends,

As Liturgical Press enters its 90th year of service to

the Church, it is my privilege and joy to present to you

a new list of titles that speaks to the ongoing youth

and vitality of not only our publishing house but also the

Church itself. Just “listen” to some of these new titles:

• Remembering the Future

• Beauty’s Vineyard

• Women Deacons?

• A World Church in Our Backyard

• Sacramentality Renewed

• Whose Mass Is It?

• Water Shaping Stone

And I didn’t even mention the exciting and groundbreaking new

Scripture commentary series: Wisdom Commentary!

What started it all 90 years ago is the journal Worship, then called

Orate Fratres. More on that in the fall catalog, so for now simply

turn to page 45 to see how it is staying fresh and vibrant.

I invite you to take a moment and browse these pages of fresh

scholarship. You will be inspired and energized by what you see,

comforted that the Church is alive and well.

Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah

Marie-Theres Wacker Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah are among the so-called deuterocanonical books of the Bible, part of the larger Catholic biblical canon. Except for a short article in the Women’s Bible Commentary, no detailed or comprehen-sive feminist commentary on these books is available so far. Marie-Theres Wacker reads both books with an approach that is sensitive to gender and identity issues. The book of Baruch—with its reflections on guilt of the fathers, with its transformation of wisdom into the Book of God’s commandments, and with its strong symbol of mother and queen Jerusalem—offers a new and creative digest of Torah, writings, and prophets but seems to primarily address learned men. The so-called Letter of Jeremiah is an impressive document that unmasks pseudo-deities but at the same time draws sharp lines between the group’s identity and the “others,” using women of the “others” as boundary markers.978-0-8146-8155-8 Hardcover with Dust Jacket, 192 pp., $29.95e 978-0-8146-8180-0 eBook, $19.99

HebrewsMary Ann Beavis and HyeRan Kim-Cragg

“Mary Ann Beavis and HyeRan Kim-Cragg’s refreshing, liberating, and empowering commentary makes the book of Hebrews come alive. Hebrews provides new insights, provocative interpreta-tions, and imaginative ways of reading the letter to the Hebrews. It combines superb scholarship with lucid writing and will make a splendid addition to anyone’s library.

“The of fe r of the Wisdom Commentary, with its accent on feminist reading, is welcome and much needed. Julia O’Brien has invested her entire academic career in a probe of that question, so that she is peculiarly equipped to author such a commentary. Her reading of Micah—that is, reader-centered—is enormously rich and perceptive. She shows how the question of gender justice and injustice permits us to see clearly so much in the prophetic text that we have otherwise missed. Her work is a remarkable advance in our reading of the prophet.” Walter Brueggemann Columbia Theological Seminary978-0-8146-8161-9 Hardcover with Dust Jacket, 208 pp., $39.95e 978-0-8146-8186-2

The Gift of AdministrationNew Testament Foundations for the Vocation of Administrative Service

Donald SeniorIn his First Letter to the Corinthians Paul cites “administrators” as one of God’s gifts to the Christian community (1 Cor 12:28). But many who serve in administrative service today have difficulty seeing how their everyday work is an expression of disciple-ship. This book, written by an experienced administrator and noted biblical scholar, shows how the various functions of institu-tional administration are deeply rooted in the Scriptures and are a genuine expression of our call to discipleship. Leadership, mission statements and planning, finances and fund raising, personnel issues, communications, and public relations—all of these seemingly “secular” activities serve to build up the Body of Christ and deserve to be recognized as authentic Christian ministry. To see administrative service as a biblically rooted gift can help those involved in this way of life to find deeper and more satisfying spiritual meaning in what they do.

Donald Senior, CP, is professor of New Testament at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He served for twenty-three years as president of CTU and is now its chancellor. He is a frequent lecturer and speaker throughout the United States and abroad and serves on a variety of boards and commissions, including the Pontifical Biblical Commission. He has published extensively on biblical topics, with numerous books and articles for both scholarly and popular audiences.

“The time was long overdue for a biblical and theological book about administrative work. The beauty of The Gif t of Administration is that Senior not only draws rich material from Scripture but also provides indispensable frames from different theologians and leaders like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Pope Francis for approaching the role of administrator. This is a unique and invaluable resource.” Rick Bliese President In Trust Center for Theological Schools

“With equal parts erudition and inspiration in his remarkable book, The Gift of Administration, Donald Senior reframes the necessary work of administration as life-giving ministry. Grounded in Scripture and rich theological tradition, this book will surely inform and encourage all who are entrusted with the leadership and management of faith-based organizations.” Kerry Alys Robinson Executive Director National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management

Vatican I and Vatican II

Councils in the Living TraditionKristin M. Colberg

Vatican I and Vatican II represent two of the three ecumenical councils in modern times, yet relatively few studies have sought to understand their relation to one another. In fact, the councils are often positioned as mutually exclusive so that one must choose presentations of church and ecclesial authority from either Vatican I or Vatican II. Their too-frequent juxtaposition under competing interpretive hermeneutics inhibits greater ecclesial self-under-standing, and it limits the church’s ability to teach effectively on topics of concern to modern women and men, such as authority, freedom, and ecclesiology. Vatican I and Vatican II: Counci ls in the Living Tradition uses the questions of what, why, and how the councils taught in order to frame and demonstrate significant points of continuity, complementarity, and differ-ence between them. It argues that only by seeing both Vatican I and Vatican II as communicating vital dimensions of the Christian faith can the church’s living tradi-tion be fully appreciated and speak meaningfully to modern Christian women and men.

Systematic Theology

A Roman Catholic ApproachThomas P. Rausch, SJ

Systematic theology seeks to understand and render more intelligible the central doctrines of faith and to show how they are related to each other. It tries to demonstrate how these doctrines are rooted in Scripture and develop in the history of the church; most important, it strives to more ade-quately express and sometimes reinterpret the church’s doctrinal tradition, always in the interest of better communicating the mystery of salvation and bringing it into a dialogue with culture. The present text is intended to be concise and accessible, an introduction that explores basic themes in Catholic systematic theology from a biblical, historical, and contemporary perspective, always aware of today’s theo-logical pluralism.

A World Church in

Our BackyardHow the Spirit Moved Church and Society

Simon C. KimHow did a culturally diverse world church emerge in our local neighborhoods and backyards? Rather than an accidental coin-cidence, diversity in our country, neighborhoods, and pews was intentionally brought about through the Spirit’s prompting of historical events. The jubilee of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) reminded us how the Catholic Church opened her doors to the world, while the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 revealed how the United States opened her shores to migrants around the world. Through both ecclesial and legislative reforms, the United States became home to many ethnically diverse people and allowed for the creation of a worship space incorporating their cultural backgrounds. 978-0-8146-8761-1 Paperback, 152 pp., 6 x 9, $16.95

Simon C. Kim is a Korean American priest of the Diocese of Orange, California, and serves as the Thomas E. Chambers Assistant Professor of Theology at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. As a theologian of culture—focused on doing theology within a particular context—Kim is able to understand not only his own cultural relevance in theological reflection but also the culture of others as well. His stories, experiences, and theological reflection resonate both with initial immigrants and the next generation and have won high praise from both groups as they draw on their Catholic faith to navigate their way in Church and society. His recent publications illustrate the bridging of his theological endeavors and pastoral engagements.

“Simon Kim expands the story of the Catholic Church in the United States beyond the more familiar narratives of European and Latin American immigration to show the unique gifts that Asian Catholics bring. More than just history or sociology, Kim narrates the confluence of Vatican II, immigration reform, and the civil r ights movement in the 1960s as movements of the Holy Spirit, the fruits of which we are just beginning to appreciate today. This book is a timely and beautiful contribution to unity through diversity in the US Catholic Church.” William T. Cavanaugh DePaul University


Theology

“This book is a careful reflection of the courageous theological journey from Vatican II to its impact on Asian immigrant communities in North America. It is truly a development to be celebrated.” Wonsuk Ma, PhD Oxford Centre for Mission Studies Executive Director, David Yonggi Cho Research Tutor of Global Christianity

“As he did in his previous book Memory and Honor, in A World Church in Our Backyard, Simon C. Kim has given us a book that we really needed! Kim begins to fill in the problematic gaps in our theological and cultural understanding of contemporary immigration and cultural diversity in the United States, especially in reference to the smaller but more rapidly growing migrations from East Asia and the Pacific. For Kim, Vatican II is a critical transition point not only in the Church’s approach to the world (as often assumed and here explored in theological depth) but also in the US Church’s approach to immigration and immigrants. He invites us to examine both of these re-orientations not just as watershed moments for Church leadership but as changes in Catholic ecclesiology itself.” Brett C. Hoover, PhD Assistant Professor of Theological Studies Loyola Marymount University

Beauty’s Vineyard

A Theological Aesthetic of Anguish and Anticipation

Kimberly VrudnyBeauty’s Vineyard: A Theological Aesthetic of Anguish and Anticipation, part spiritual memoir, part systematic theology, opens with an interpretation of the parable of the tenants and concludes with the parable of the workers in the vineyard. In between unfolds a systematic theology of anguish and anticipation in which the author wrestles with the social evils that plague our society and expresses hopeful anticipa-tion for the coming of the “kingdom of God” about which Jesus spoke—a just and peaceful reality in the here and now that will find its ultimate consummation, Christians hope, in the hereafter. A theological under-standing of Beauty as the incarnation of the Compassion of God guides the way, bringing the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas into conversation with the libera-tive theologies of the Global South, through treatments of Trinity, imago Dei, sin, Christology, salvation, theodicy, and hope. 978-0-8146-8407-8 Paperback, 288 pp., 7 x 10, $34.95

Kathryn Lilla Cox is associate professor of theology at Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary and in the undergraduate Department of Theology of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. She teaches courses in fundamental moral theology and applied ethics. Her research explores the theology of infertility, the role of emotions in the moral life, conscience, and the intersection of science and theology.

Water Shaping Stone

Faith, Relationships, and Conscience FormationKathryn Lilla Cox

The Catholic Tradition requires the faithful to form and follow their conscience. This is the case even with the recognition that consciences can be malformed and one can make errors in practical judgments. Water Shaping Stone examines various aspects of this tradition regarding conscience by using, among other sources, twentieth-century magisterial documents, theologians’ works, and Scripture.

“This is a timely and superb book that very much needed to be written. Not only that, but its prose is both accessible and academically informed as well as inviting and compelling. Many persons, including Catholics and other Christians, may be conscious of conscience, but in an emaciated way that fails to interface robustly with the moral life or, for those of faith, the call to discipleship. Kathryn Lilla Cox is a conscientious and gracious moral theologian, and we are indebted to her for this graceful contribution to a topic that all too often is either oversimplified or over one’s head.” Tobias Winright Saint Louis University

“Dr. Kathryn Lilla Cox’s Water Shaping Stone is a greatly needed book. For too long, discussions of conscience have been couched in the tired debates of personal autonomy versus compliance to authority. Instead of rehashing the arguments or taking sides in them, Dr. Cox shifts the conversation by considering conscience in light of the Christian call to discipleship. Her perspective speaks to why forming a conscience is important, communities are essential for this process, and the development of the whole person cannot be neglected. This relational approach also leads to an interpretation of dissent and scandal not so much as problematic discord but rather as part of the inevitable and important struggles of a community pursuing faithfulness to Jesus. Dr. Cox’s is a rich and significant perspective, one that should make Water Shaping Stone the starting point for any future discussions on conscience.” Jason King Associate Professor of Theology, Saint Vincent College Associate Editor, Journal of Moral Theology

“Hot-button political issues have become more and more common in recent years, and this book found its genesis in helping students and others sort through what conscience is and how it might guide them with respect to such arguments. Dr. Cox’s insight, compassion, and depth of understanding shine as she argues that conscience, when understood in the context of the call to discipleship, can guide us through the ambiguous, shadowed, uncertain times of our lives, illuminating new possibilities for how we might better follow in the footsteps of Christ.” Colleen Mary Carpenter Book Review Editor, Horizons, The Journal of the College Theology Society Saint Catherine University

Sacramentality Renewed

Contemporary Conversations in Sacramental Theology

Lizette Larson-MillerTracing developments in sacramental theology over the past twenty-five years, this study explores a growing ecumenical dynamism in both the academic study of sacramentality and its centrality in pastoral applications. But how does ecumenical excitement in a renewed discovery of sacramental theology fit with different the-ologies of church and different pastoral beliefs and practices? How does the universality of academic accessibility in the form of an expansive ecumenical sharing of perspectives meet the particularities of pastoral reality and ecclesial polity? Arguing in favor of fruitful ecumenical conversation, this book also focuses on the crucial interaction of ecclesiology, liturgical practice, and sacramentality, which raises the need for a creative tension between the particularities of a given ecclesial system and the catholicity of Christian sacramen-tality. Using Anglican sacramental theologies and Anglicanism as vehicles of exploration, this study contributes to an overview of the state of the field of sacra-mental theology in the twenty-first century while challenging the assumption that one size fits all. In sacramental theology, as in other important areas of Christian life, unity in diversity may be the basis for authentic lived sacramentality.

Women Deacons?Essays with Answers

Edited by Phyllis ZaganoThe question of restoring women to the ordained diaconate surfaced during the Second Vatican Council and continued to resound in academic and pastoral circles well after the diaconate was restored as a permanent order in the church in the West. This volume contains twelve essays—five translated from Italian, three translated from French, and four in their original English—that answer the questions about the history and possible future of women deacons.

“Since the reestablishment of the permanent diaconate at the Second Vatican Council, some 42,000 men have been ordained throughout the world to serve as deacons. At the same time, there has been a parallel conversation about the possibility of women as ordained deacons. Dr. Zagano and her collaborators have collected important articles on the history and theology of the diaconate for women, some translated into English for the first time. This volume is an indispensable resource for the continuing discussion.” Emil A. Wcela, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York Past President, Catholic Biblical Association

“This helpful collection of academic essays, many of them newly translated into Engl ish, shows that the idea of reconstituting the diaconate for women has been around for a very long time. Phyllis Zagano is second to none in the pursuit of this question, and her introduction summarizes beautifully what everyone should know who is interested in the issue.” Carolyn Osiek, RSCJ Charles Fischer Professor of New Testament, Emerita Brite Divinity School

Liturgy

Whose Mass Is It?

Why People Care So Much about the Catholic Liturgy

Paul TurnerWhen changes happen to the Catholic Mass, opinions are strong and diverse. Everyone feels in some way that the Mass is theirs. It is. Or is it? Whose Mass is it? And what should people do to claim it? Whether or not adult Catholics attend Mass regularly, they strongly bond with it. Within a single generation, English-speaking Catholics experienced the Second Vatican Council’s authorization for the first overhaul of the liturgy in four hundred years, and then, in 2011, they prepared for and imple-mented a revised vernacular translation. Each of these two events awakened strong feelings as people gradually became aware that someone else’s decision was going to affect the cornerstone of their spiritual life. In Whose Mass Is It? Paul Turner examines the impact of the Mass, the connections it makes, and its purpose in the lives of believers.


Paul Turner is pastor of St. Anthony Parish in Kansas City, Missouri. A priest of the Diocese of Kansas City–St. Joseph, he holds a doctorate in sacred theology from Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. He is a former president of the North American Academy of Liturgy and a member of Societas Liturgica and the Catholic Academy of Liturgy. He serves as a facilitator for the International Commission on English in the Liturgy. His publications include Glory in the Cross and Let Us Pray, both published by Liturgical Press, and he is a contributor to Give Us This Day.

“Paul Turner offers us a concise and accessible guide to the post–Vatican II eucharistic liturgy, replete with a great deal of historical information. This book should provide an excellent guide for parish liturgy committees and anyone interested in gaining a fuller understanding of what we do when we come together for Eucharist.” John F. Baldovin, SJ Boston College School of Theology and Ministry


“Using the question ‘Whose Mass is it?’ Paul Turner uncovers the skein of relationships that give people, from the local sacristan to the curial officials of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, a sense of ownership of the Mass. The number of stakeholders is more than most of us imagine, and the relationships between stakeholders are not always easy. Turner invites each stakeholder to recognize the others. He acknowledges the challenges brought on by change, conflicts won and lost, familial tensions heightened—and sometimes resolved—and gifts many and varied shared, neglected, or rejected. With great scholarly erudition and even greater pastoral wisdom, Turner charts a path of mutual recognition that invites each of us to recognize that the liturgy ultimately belongs to Christ, the center who holds both the liturgy and all of us together.” Bernadette Gasslein, Editor, Worship

Remembering the FutureThe Experience of Time in

Jewish and Christian LiturgyEmma O’Donnell

Common to both Judaism and Christianity is a heightened engagement with time within liturgical practice, in which collective reli-gious memory and anticipation come together to create a unique sense of time. Exploring the nebulous realms of religious experience and the sense of time, Remembering the Future charts the ways that the experience of time is shaped by the traditions of Judaism and Christianity and experienced within their ritual practices. Through comparative explorations of traditional Jewish and Christian under-standings of time, contemporary oral testimonies, and discussions of the work of select twentieth-century Jewish and Christian thinkers, this book maps the temporal landscapes of the religious imagination. Maintaining that the sense of time is integral to Jewish and Christian religious experience, Remembering the Future makes a notable contribution to interreligious studies and liturgical studies. It sheds light on essential aspects of religious experience and finds that the intimacy of the experience of time grants it the capacity to communicate across religious boundaries, subtly transgressing obstacles to inter-religious understanding.


Dr. Emma O’Donnell is a postdoctoral fellow at Lund University and a visiting researcher at the Swedish Theological Institute in Jerusalem, where she conducts research within the project Theologies of Religion in Jerusalem. She holds a PhD in comparative theology from Boston College, with a focus in the comparative study of Judaism and Christianity. She was a 2014–2015 visiting scholar of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning and a 2011 fellow with the CrossCurrents Research Colloquium. Additionally, she has taught at Boston College and Emmanuel College.

“In this excellent book, Emma O’Donnell considers the experience of time in the ritual contexts of Jewish and Christian liturgy. Convinced as she is that religiously formed experience of time is part and parcel of both Jewish and Christian faith, O’Donnell embarks on a journey exploring the subjective realm of experience in both liturgical traditions. This detailed comparative and empirical research contributes not only to the domain of liturgical theology but also to the fields of comparative theology and interreligious studies. O’Donnell’s understanding of liturgy as a site for interreligious learning especially will be welcomed by scholars interested in the ritual dimension of interreligious encounters.” Marianne Moyaert Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam The Netherlands


Liturgy

“Emma O’Donnell performs a feat that few can equal, bringing together Jewish and Christian practices and understandings so that both sides can feel that she has their own interests and sympathies at heart. Strong on both theology and critical theory, this book draws particularly on sensitive interviews with those deeply engaged in the liturgical lives of their respective communities. The spirit of Vatican II is alive and well in this remarkable book, which must be read and meditated on as a prolegomenon to liturgical studies in a comparative setting.” Theodore A. Perry Emeritus Professor of Hebrew Bible and Comparative Literature University of Connecticut

The Festal Works of

St. Gregory of Narek

Annotated Translation of the Odes, Litanies, and EncomiaAbraham Terian

“Saint Gregory of Narek, a monk of the tenth century, knew how to express the sentiments of your people more than anyone. He gave voice to the cry, which became a prayer of a sinful and sorrowful humanity, oppressed by the anguish of its powerlessness, but illuminated by the splendor of God’s love and open to the hope of his salvific intervention, which is capable of transforming all things.”—Pope Francis, April 12, 2015

This is the first translation in any language of the surviving corpus of the festal works of St. Gregory of Narek, a tenth-century Armenian mystic theo-logian and poet par excellence (d. 1003). Composed as liturgical works for the various Dominical and related feasts, these poetic writings are literary master-pieces in both lyrical verse and narrative. Unlike Gregory’s better-known peni-tential prayers, these show a jubilant author in a celebratory mood. In this volume Abraham Terian, an eminent scholar of medieval Armenian literature, provides the nonspecialist reader with an illuminating translation of St. Gregory of Narek’s festal works. Introducing each composition with an explanatory note, Terian places the works under consider-ation in their author’s thought-world and in their tenth-century landscape.

Abraham Terian is professor emeritus of Armenian theology and patristics at St. Nersess Armenian Seminary, Armonk, New York. A recipient of the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in the Humanities award and Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, he has extensive publications in the fields of Hellenistic, early Christian, and Armenian religious literature.

“Terian’s volume is a precious gift, worthy of the learned monk whose work it is no exaggeration to describe as an act of Divine grace. It is thanks to the efforts and the very considerable talent of authors like Abraham Terian that St. Gregory of Narek is gradually becoming the universally accessible mystical poet and theologian that his Armenian oeuvre proclaims.” Theo Maarten van Lint Calouste Gulbenkian Professor of Armenian Studies University of Oxford

“The works of St. Gregory of Narek are central to the theological learning of the Armenian Apostolic Church and to its worship, yet their content is extremely sophisticated and their language can be very difficult. The festal hymns, though often seemingly light in style, are in fact particularly dense and bristle with philological problems. Professor Terian’s work is more than a monument of meticulous scholarship. It elucidates the hymns for the first time and with a precision and insight far beyond any study ever done before; all subsequent work on Narekats‘i will be measured by its high standard. That standard is unlikely to be equaled, much less superseded.” James R. Russell Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies Harvard University

Liturgy’s Imagined

Past/sMethodologies and Materials in the Writing of Liturgical History Today

Edited by Teresa Berger and Bryan D. Spinks

This book calls attention to the importance of scholarly reflection on the writing of liturgical history. The essays not only probe the impact of important shifts in historiography but also present new schol-arship that promises to reconfigure some of the established images of liturgy’s past. Based on papers presented at the 2014 Yale Institute of Sacred Music Liturgy Conference, Liturgy’s Imagined Past/s seeks to invigorate discussion of method-ologies and materials in contemporary writings on liturgy’s pasts and to resource such writing at a point in time when formi-dable questions are being posed about the way in which historians construct the object of their inquiry.

Hold Nothing BackWritings by Dorothy Day

Edited by Patrick Jordan; Foreword by Kate Hennessy

Hold Nothing Back—a new, abridged edition of the previously published Dorothy Day: Writings from Commonweal—gives a glimpse of her remarkable humanity and endurance, and of the vibrant spirituality that underlay them.

“Dorothy Day is the relentless prophet of justice for our time. In these historic essays, she reminds us that great political action against oppression is driven by religious faith, especially faith that invites us to profound trust, to humble poverty, to doing the smallest of tasks with the greatest of loves. Day’s words are charged with anger and discontent just as they are filled with the spark ‘that would set afire the love of men towards each other and to God.’ From motherhood to itinerant teacher, she is in the end, our prophet of love—‘love to the point of folly’—love that is both childlike and painful, both restless and intimate, always a witness to the gospel without exception and without apology too.” Timothy Shriver Chairman, Special Olympics

Patrick Jordan is a former managing editor of The Catholic Worker. He and his wife Kathleen were associated with Dorothy Day from 1968 until her death in 1980. From 1984 to 2012, Jordan was an editor at Commonweal magazine. He is the author of Dorothy Day: Love in Action (Liturgical Press, 2015), editor of Dorothy Day: Writings from Commonweal (Liturgical Press, 2002) and, with Paul Baumann, coeditor of Commonweal Confronts the Century (Touchstone, 1999).

“This lovely book by Sr. Jeana Visel takes the reader through a well-rounded history of iconography, and it shows how the Western iconic tradition has been wider and more nuanced than often presumed. Visel argues powerfully here that deep iconic art has the charisma to bring grace to contemporary worship, just as it did in times past, and can serve as an ecumenical rapprochement, with Catholicism’s iconic tradition standing in a median role between the Orthodox and the Protestant worlds in their different understanding of icons as gateways to divine grace. The text has been produced by Liturgical Press with a deep artistic sensibility: its numerous illustrations make it a beautiful thing to possess. A little treasure. Highly recommended.” Archpriest John A. McGuckin Nielsen Professor of Byzantine Christian History

Icons in the Western ChurchToward a More

Sacramental EncounterJeana Visel, OSB

Within the Eastern tradition of Christianity, the eikon, or religious image, has long held a place of honor. In the greater part of Western Christianity, however, discomfort with images in worship, both statues and panel icons, has been a relatively common current, particularly since the Reformation. In the Roman Catholic Church, after years of using religious statues, the Second Vatican Council’s call for “noble simplicity” in many cases led to a stripping of images that in some ways helped refocus atten-tion on the eucharistic celebration itself but also led to a starkness that has left many Roman Catholics unsure of how to interact with the saints or with religious images at all. Today, Western interest in panel icons has been rising, yet we lack stan-dards of quality or catechesis on what to do with them. This book makes the case that icons should have a role to play in the Western Church that goes beyond mere decoration. Citing theological and ecu-menical reasons, Visel argues that, with regard to use of icons, the post–Vatican II Roman Catholic Church needs to give greater respect to the Eastern tradition. While Roman Catholics may never interact with icons in quite the same way that Eastern Christians do, we do need to come to terms with what icons are and how we should encounter them.

“This intelligent study, noting everything from aesthetics and liturgical studies to theology, is an indispensable work for those who want to incorporate icons into Western worship and devotions. Grounded in solid scholarship and gracefully written, it is a most welcome volume on a quite timely topic.” Lawrence S. Cunningham The University of Notre Dame

The World of Medieval

MonasticismIts History and Forms of Life

Gert Melville

Translated by James D. Mixson

Foreword by Giles ConstableThis book surveys the full panorama of ten centuries of Christian monastic life. It moves from the deserts of Egypt and the Frankish monasteries of early medieval Europe to the religious ruptures of the eleventh and twelfth centuries and the reforms of the later Middle Ages. Throughout that story the book balances a rich sense of detail with a broader synthetic view. It presents the history of religious life and its orders as a complex braid woven from multiple strands: indi-vidual and community, spirit and institution, rule and custom, church and world. The result is a synthesis that places religious life at the center of European history and presents its institutions as key catalysts of Europe’s move toward modernity.

James D. Mixson is an associate professor of history at the University of Alabama. His recent publications include Poverty’s Proprietors: Ownership and Mortal Sin at the Origins of the Observant Movement (Brill, 2009) and several essays on the history of late-medieval religious reform. He is also the editor (with Bert Roest) of A Companion to Observant Reform in the Late Middle Ages and Beyond (Brill, 2015).

“The World of Medieval Monasticism is the crowning achievement of the decades Professor Melville has devoted to the relentless study of medieval religious life in the West. Marked by a wealth of sources and shaped by the influential Research Center for the Comparative History of Religious Life at the University of Dresden, The World of Medieval Monasticism is an essential source in its own right for all those interested in the cultural history and spiritual inheritance of medieval religious life.” Timothy J. Johnson Flagler College

“The fruit of long study of medieval monks, ascetics, mystics, and the rules that they lived by, The World of Medieval Monasticism is a lively and erudite companion for any reader interested in exploring the many astonishing forms of Western religious life.” Barbara H.

“This is the best of guides to the world of medieval monasticism: a fresh, novel, exciting, detailed, reliable account of how monastic life developed over twelve centuries and of the many paths to perfection and salvation it created for both women and men. Medieval monasticism had its failures, but it also never ceased to surprise by its capacity to adjust to complex, changing circumstances, to establish itself as a fundamental element of medieval economy and society, and to cater for the whole spectrum of religious life from eremitical withdrawal to firebrand preaching. Here is an exceptionally rich mine of materials drawn from all kinds of historical sources and thoughtfully presented in the light of an exceptional understanding of structures and ideals by a wonderful scholar.” David Luscombe Fellow of the British Academy The University of Sheffield

Their Monastic Theology

Initiation into the Monastic Tradition 8Thomas Merton

Edited by Patrick F. O’ConnellThese conferences, presented by Thomas Merton to the novices at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1963–1964, focus mainly on the life and writings of his great Cistercian predecessor, St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153). Guiding his students through Bernard’s Marian sermons, his treatise On the Love of God, his controversy with Peter Abelard, and above all his great series of sermons on the Song of Songs, Merton reveals why Bernard was the major religious and cultural figure in Europe during the first half of the twelfth century and why he has remained one of the most influential spir i tual theologians of Western Christianity from his own day until the present. As James Finley writes in his preface to this volume, “Merton is teaching us in these notes how to be grateful and amazed that the ancient wisdom that shimmers and shines in the eloquent and beautiful things that mystics say is now flowing in our sincere desire to learn from God how to find our way to God.”

Thomas Merton (1915–1968), Catholic convert, Cistercian monk and hermit, poet, contemplative, social critic, and pioneer of interreligious dialogue, was a seminal figure of twentieth-century American Christianity. The one hundredth anniversary of his birth was celebrated in 2015.

Patrick F. O’Connell is professor of English and theology at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. A founding member and former president of the International Thomas Merton Society, he edits The Merton Seasonal and is coauthor of The Thomas Merton Encyclopedia. He has edited seven previous volumes of Thomas Merton’s monastic conferences for the Monastic Wisdom Series, most recently Charter, Customs, and Constitutions of the Cistercians (2015), and he is also editor of Merton’s Selected Essays (2013) and Early Essays: 1947–1952 (2015).


“I bowed my head surveying Merton’s erudition, captured here in his careful reading of Saint Bernard, aligned with skills that deployed his scholarship as a spur to his students’ contemplation. The energy he expended on preparing classes, while maintaining daily life as monk and writer, is extraordinary. No less impressive is the wildly capacious skill-set exhibited by Patrick O’Connell as he introduces and annotates Merton’s ‘notes.’ His expert summoning of the entire Merton corpus to bear on whatever Merton text he annotates astounds me. O’Connell wins first honors as the most agile transmitter of Merton’s legacy. My admiring his accomplishment here and elsewhere defies adequate expression.” Jonathan Montaldo Co-editor of We Are Already One: Thomas Merton’s Message of Hope

“Your Hearts Will Rejoice”

Easter Meditations from the Vita Christi

Ludolph of Saxony

Translated by Milton T. Walsh

The Vita Christi, a spiritual classic of the fourteenth century by the Carthusian Ludolph of Saxony, was an early and extremely comprehensive book of medita-tions on the events recorded in the gospels. A popular and influential book for centuries, it was instrumental in the conversion of Ignatius Loyola, and Teresa of Avila directed that every convent of her reform include “the Carthusian” in its library. This volume, which consists of excerpts from the full Vita Christi (forthcoming from Cistercian Publications), presents Ludolph’s meditations on the resurrection and the appearances of the risen Christ, concluding with Pentecost. Although shelves of books are dedicated to Christ’s passion, comparatively little spiritual reading for the Easter Season exists. This book is intended to help fill that lacuna and to introduce readers to this classic text.

“A wonderful achievement. With scholarly dedication, Milton Walsh is providing an excellent translation of Ludolph’s entire Life of Christ, as well as identifying almost all of its sources. Walsh has enriched enormously for many people ways of meditating on the gospels.” Rev. Gerald O’Collins, SJ Jesuit Theological College

Bernard of Clairvaux

Sermons for the Autumn SeasonTranslated by

Irene Edmonds, OCSO

Edited by Mark Scott, OSCO

Introduction by Wim VerbaalOn the anniversary of the dedication of the monastery church at Clairvaux, Saint Bernard spoke to the community to explain the meaning of the feast, tying the holiness of the church itself to the holiness of those who worship there: “What sanctity can these stones have that we should cele-brate their festival? They do indeed have sanctity, but it is because of your bodies. . . . Your bodies are holy because of your souls, and this house is holy because of your bodies.” The thirty-eight sermons in this volume carry forth this theme, revealing the holiness of the monastic life as monks alternate through the rhythm of the day and the year between the opus Dei and manual labor, journeying faithfully through life to death and the transitus to glory. The twelfth-century Ecclesiastica Officia of the Cistercian Order required abbots to speak formally to their commu-nities in chapter on seventeen fixed days, mostly liturgical feasts. This volume witnesses to Bernard’s fulfillment of this requirement, with sermons for the Assumption and Nativity of the Virgin and the Feast of All Saints, with others devoted to the feasts of particular saints celebrated during the autumn months. Three “for the time of harvest” celebrate the annual receipt of the earth’s gifts, which sustain the monks and allow them to sustain the poor, and three funeral sermons recall that death is the end of each human life, leading to eternal joy in the communion of the saints.

While the field of science has made incred-ible advances in the past century, and more and more scientists have gone to great lengths to make these developments accessible to the public, we still rarely hear ministers and communities of faith discussing the implications of these devel-opments for the life of faith. Quantum Shift explores recent developments in science from relativity to quantum mechanics to cosmology and then suggests ways in which people of faith might engage these scientific developments to foster their understanding of God and what it means to be part of the world we believe God created. Heidi Ann Russell demonstrates how these scientific developments offer us new and exciting images that spark our theological imaginations and reinvigorate our spiritual lives.

Quantum ShiftTheological and Pastoral Implications of Contemporary Developments in Science

Heidi Ann Russell; Foreword by George V. Coyne, SJ

Includes illustrations


Heidi Ann Russell, PhD, is an assistant professor at the Institute of Pastoral Studies of Loyola University Chicago. She received her PhD in religious studies from Marquette University and her MDiv/MA from Washington Theological Union. She is the author of the book The Heart of Rahner as well as articles in Theological Studies, Horizons, Science and Theology, Buddhist Christian Studies, and Philosophy and Theology.

“One of the great regrets of history occurred in the seventeenth century’s split of science and religion between the church and Galileo. It has been said that without this split we would have had better science and better religion. Heidi Russell not only offers us the best of science and religion of the twenty-first century but recasts for us their whole relationship. Instead of contending their truths, she engages the rich analogies that each has to offer in the pursuit of love/relationality. This is an utterly pastoral approach to science and theology, ‘rejuvenating what it means to be the body of Christ as inherent connectedness to all of creation impacting our understanding of social and environmental justice.’” Bob O’Gorman Loyola University Chicago

“Quantum Shift is an engaging, informative, and often profound glimpse into the way in which the worldview produced by quantum physics can alter and invigorate our conceptions of God and creation. Charting a course between innovation and tradition, Russell offers novel vocabulary and fresh perspectives for theologians, pastoral ministers, and other persons of faith seeking to navigate the implications of the new sciences for religious belief. . . . Ephphata—and enjoy!” Gloria L. Schaab Barry University

“In this book, Heidi Ann Russell builds on the important academic premise that ‘there is a universal basis for our understanding and, since that basis cannot be self-contradictory, the understanding one has from one discipline should complement that which one has from all other disciplines.’ Russell’s work is exemplary in that she models this converted way of thinking in every chapter. In so doing, she opens compelling new insights into traditional tenets of the Christian faith. Russell’s engaging, dynamic, infectious dialogue, draws the reader toward religious renewal that supports a connected lifestyle. It is a must-read—for the sake of God’s people and the planet!” Dawn M. Nothwehr, OSF Theological Union Chicago, IL

Living Mission InterculturallyFaith, Culture, and the

Renewal of PraxisAnthony J. Gittins

Foreword by Gerald A. Arbuckle Our globalized world increasingly brings together people of many different cultures, though not always harmoniously. In recent decades, multinational companies have sought more efficient strategies for authentic intercultural collaboration. But in today’s multicultural world-church, faith communities too—from local parishes to international religious communities—are faced with the challenge of inter-cultural living.

“Gittins’s mission-driven exploration of intercultural living is immensely practical, challenging, and solidly based on scholarship, lived commitment, wide dialogue, and prayerful reflection. Gittins has given us a great gift and incentive to live our unity in diversity from a stance of radical faith and heightened cultural awareness. I am eager to share this gift with my whole international community and all of our partners in mission.” Mary Ann Buckley, SHCJ American Providence Leader Society of the Holy Child Jesus

Anthony J. Gittins, CSSp, taught theology and anthropology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago from 1984 until 2011 and is now emeritus professor of theology and culture. He continues to do consultancy work and offer workshops, seminars, short courses, and retreats in more than thirty-five countries from Africa to the Pacific. He is the author of fourteen books on theological and anthropological topics, on mission, and on spirituality, and a contributor to Give Us This Day, published by Liturgical Press.




A Holy Yet Sinful ChurchThree Twentieth-Century Moments

in a Developing TheologyJeanmarie Gribaudo

“Gribaudo has provided a foundational genealogy of current teaching on ecclesial holiness and sinfulness in the documents of Vatican II and in the words and actions of John Paul II. No other work has gathered and analyzed such a wide variety of twentieth-century sources on this topic in such a comprehensive, observant way. Gribaudo’s book is valuable both as a historical study of the development of ecclesiology in this period and as an unsurpassed point of departure for all future systematic thought on the holiness and sinfulness of the Church.” Brian P. Flanagan Marymount University

“Exhaustively researched and written in a clear and comprehensive style, A Holy Yet Sinful Church captures an important feature of John Paul’s efforts to move the Church forward in the twenty-first century. Informative and challenging, this monograph brings to light an important focus for contemporary Catholicism.” Richard Gribble, CSC Stonehill College

Sister Jeanmarie Gribaudo, a Sister of St. Joseph of Boston, holds a Doctorate of Sacred Theology from Boston College. She has extensive experience working with young people, having served for over ten years as Mayor Thomas Menino’s youth advisor. She has worked in higher education administration and has taught courses at Stonehill College, Fairfield University, and Sacred Heart University. Currently, she is an adjunct faculty member at Merrimack College in North Andover and serves as a reviewer of catechetical texts for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Catholic EconomicsAlternatives to the Jungle

Angus Sibley

Inequality, unemployment, degradation of our environment: these and other practical economic problems reflect faulty economic theories. We have been led astray by ideas that made some sense in the past but are unsuited to our times and by ideas that are fundamentally mistaken. The Catholic Church has an extensive body of teachings on economic and social matters, too little known even among Catholics, which offer practical alternatives to the economics of the jungle. This book offers clear explanations of major errors in conventional economic thinking and shows how the church’s teachings can guide us into better ways.

“This book should find its way into introductory courses as Catholic business schools throughout the U.S. and abroad. Sibley’s familiarity with both the theory and praxis of the modern economy makes his critique especially telling, and his commitment to Catholic Social Teaching affords him a sound basis for that critique. The book is a tour de force against laissez-faire and should become a point of reference for anyone who thinks our new Gilded Age is a thing in need of repair and reform.” Michael Sean Winters, National Catholic Reporter

Angus Sibley is an actuary and former member of the London Stock Exchange. Received into the Catholic Church at Farm Street Jesuit Church, London, in 1999, he has long been interested in the church’s economic and social teachings. He is the author of The “Poisoned Spring” of Economic Libertarianism (Pax Romana, 2011) and of around one hundred articles in American, British, French, and Irish periodicals. Now retired, he lives with his wife Aurora in Paris.

Richard R. Gaillardetz holds the Joseph Chair of Catholic Systematic Theology at Boston College. He has published numerous articles and has authored or edited eleven books, including Keys to the Council: Unlocking the Teaching of Vatican II (co-authored with Catherine Clifford), published by Liturgical Press, and is a contributor to Give Us This Day. Dr. Gaillardetz has been a delegate on the US Catholic–Methodist Ecumenical Dialogue and served as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America between 2013 and 2014.


“This is a mature and magnanimous vision that, like Francis, reminds us that we all have a role to play in the ongoing reform and renewal of the church. Everyone—from the beginning undergraduate to the seasoned pastor—can learn something from Gaillardetz.” Edward P. Hahnenberg Author of Theology for Ministry: An Introduction for Lay Ministers

“An Unfinished Council is an accessible, insightful, and timely call for the church to engage today in ongoing reform through critical reception of the past and with hope for the future.” Amanda C. Osheim Assistant Professor of Practical Theology Loras College




Thomas M. Kelly, PhD, is professor of systematic theology at Creighton University. He has published nationally and internationally on philosophical hermeneutics, liberation theology, Jesuit martyrs, and Catholic social thought.

Rutilio Grande, SJHomilies and Writings

Translated, Edited, and Annotated by Thomas M. Kelly

To learn about the beatification process of Rutilio Grande, SJ, view this title at litpress.org and listen

to an interview with Dr. Kelly.

“Rutilio Grande was the first in a long line of Salvadoran martyrs killed in so-called hatred of the faith—that is, hatred for a faith that expressed itself in love for the poor. His witness inspired Archbishop Romero on his own road to Calvary. These writings, beautifully translated and edited by Thomas Kelly, are an inspiring reminder of what it means, in our time, to take up our cross and follow Jesus.” Robert Ellsberg Publisher, Orbis Books “Thomas Kelly provides the definitive treatment of Rutilio Grande. He captures the spirit and texture of Grande’s pastoral commitment and grassroots compassion the way no author has managed. . . . It offers valuable insights into the continuing relevance of Grande’s pastoral-theological perspective for the church in the age of Pope Francis.” Stephen J. Pope Boston College

Christ’s Gift, Our ResponseMartin Luther and Louis-Marie Chauvet

on the Connection between Sacraments and EthicsBenjamin Durheim

“Building on the principle in ecumenical dialogue of an exchange of gifts, Durheim develops a methodology of theological enrichment by which an awareness of theological resonances may lead toward mutually beneficial insights. His study of the sacramental theology and ethics of Luther and Chauvet gives flesh to this methodology, thus not only exposing and advancing current thinking about these two theologians but also helping to build bridges between Lutherans and Roman Catholics today. Readers interested in ecumenical engagement, sacramental theology, Christian ethics, and the interrelations of these three will appreciate Durheim’s fresh approach.” Karen Westerfield Tucker, Boston University

“In this book, Benjamin Durheim builds bridges, creatively and with sensitivity, for theological resonance between thinkers one might rarely see in dialogue—Martin Luther and Louis-Marie Chauvet. His analysis of their theology, their questions and tensions, opens up areas of surprising consensus and continued challenges. Durheim is able, to use his own phrase, ‘to establish a common basis for theological exchange in the connection between sacraments and ethics.’” Dirk G. Lange, Luther Seminary

Benjamin Durheim received his PhD from Boston College and is visiting assistant professor of theology at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He has published articles on liturgical and sacramental theology, especially as they relate to issues of Christian identity and ecumenical conversation.

The Taste of SilenceHow I Came to Be

at Home with MyselfBieke Vandekerckhove

Translated by Rudolf Van Puymbroeck

“Life is full of trials—yet sometimes we may suddenly perceive an eternal light in the midst of the worst tribulations. There is much in life that does not make any sense, so we need witnesses whose life says: and yet! and who keep on smiling through their tears. This book is such a smile, compelling in its authenticity.” Benoît Standaert Author of Sharing Sacred Spaces

“An insightful and absorbing memoir. Written poetically, the chapters—some only a page and a half—evoke the connectedness that Vandekerckhove felt toward the divine.” Diane Scharper National Catholic Reporter

Bieke Vandekerckhove (born 1969) lived in Kuurne, Belgium. In 1988, when she was a psychology major at the University of Leuven, she was diagnosed with ALS and became paralyzed from the pelvis up. With round-the-clock help from husband Bart Verhulst and various assistants, she led an active life of teaching, counseling, and writing for, among others, Volzin and Tertio. She regularly conducted Zen meetings and retreats at the Benedictine Sint-Andries Abbey in Zevenkerken, Belgium. In 2014 Bieke Vandekerckhove received formal transmission as Zen Master (Ch’an Ssu) in the Chinese Ch’an tradition from internationally known Zen Master Prof. Ton Lathouwers, himself the Dharma-Successor of Ch’an Master Teh Cheng, longtime head of the Guang Hua Ch’an School in China. On the occasion, she received the name Xia Fan Zhi Guang, meaning “Light of Kenosis.” Bieke passed away in her home, early in the evening on September 7, 2015.

“Fr. Daelemans’s sensitive interpretation of the Ignatian text, enhanced by Werner Klenk’s beautifully photographed Way of the Cross in bronze, offers an engaging and deeply personal spiritual experience. In this relatively compact work, the full range of our human capacities for prayer—imagination, the senses, memory, and intuition—are brought into play. We move at our own pace. The graced moments ripen slowly. This is a book to keep.” Fr. William Pearsall, SJ University of Manchester

“This book might be described as a lit t le Gesamtkunstwerk. In Bert Daelemans’s An Ignatian Journey of the Cross the reader will find an uplifting and interesting approach to contemplating the Way of the Cross through poetic writing, visual images, and selected pieces of music in the context of the Ignatian tradition. For those who seek beauty, hope, and inspiration, the book will be a source of reflection and sustenance.” Gesa Thiessen Trinity College, Dublin





The First Life of Bernard of Clairvaux

William of Saint-Thierry, Arnold of Bonneval, Geoffrey of Auxerre

Translated with an Introduction and Notes by

Hilary Costello, OCSOThe First Life of Bernard of Clairvaux, traditionally known as the Vita Prima, originated to prepare the case for canonization of Bernard, first abbot of Clairvaux. The work was begun by William of Saint-Thierry, continued by Arnold of Bonneval, and completed by Geoffrey of Auxerre. This book contains the first English translation of Recension B, drawn from what is apparently the only manuscript of the work found today in a Cistercian monastery, Mount Saint Bernard Abbey. The introduc-tion begins with the story of how this manuscript came to Mount Saint Bernard, so fixing this translation of the Vita Prima within Cistercian life from the twelfth century to today.


Unity of SpiritStudies on William of Saint-Thierry

in Honor of E. Rozanne ElderEdited by F. Tyler Sergent, Aage Rydstrøm-Poulsen,

and Marsha L. Dutton

Foreword by Bernard McGinn

Afterword by John R. SommerfeldtWilliam of Saint-Thierry (ca. 1080–1148) became abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Thierry in about 1119, holding that office for about sixteen years and writing a large number of works, some for the guidance of the monks of his abbey and others as theological treatises. But during that same time, after meeting Bernard, abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Clairvaux, he longed to become a Cistercian. He finally satisfied that dream in 1135, when he became a monk at Signy. His final work was the first of the five books that constitute the Vita Prima Sancti Bernardi.

Fr. Hilary Costello, OCSO, was born in London in 1926. During World War II he was conscripted into the coal mines, where he worked from 1943 to 1947. Although he had not considered a monastic vocation until he was nearly twenty, in 1947 he entered Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, in Leicestershire. For fourteen years he worked in the abbey’s orchard, after which he was guest master for the abbey. After being ordained in 1955, he began to work on medieval manuscripts, especially the sermons of John of Forde, which he and Fr. Edmund Mikkers, OCSO, edited for Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaevalis (vols. 17 and 18). He has also published articles on John, Gilbert of Hoyland, and other Cistercian authors. Fr. Hilary was also the bursar of Mount Saint Bernard for almost twenty years. He currently does bookbinding for the abbey.

Monastic PracticesRevised Edition

Charles Cummings, OCSOIn this revised edition, newly updated and expanded, Charles Cummings, OCSO, explores the common practices of the monastic life in order to rediscover them as viable means of leading persons to a deeper encounter with God.

In the School of ContemplationAndré Louf, OCSO

Dom André Louf (+2010), well-known abbot of Mont-des-Cats, still speaks to us on prayer. In this book he brings together talks given to a variety of audiences in which he shares his spiritual experience from both his life of prayer and his life in community. In so doing the chapters offer inspiring insights into the spiritual experience and on the priority of love as well as other areas of our Christian life: community life, obedience, prayer, psalms, the liturgy, etc. In this book we enter “a school of contemplation” wherein the monastic experience enlightens our lives and service to the world and the Church.


André Louf, OCSO, served as abbot of Cistercian Abbey of Mont-des-Cats in northern France for 35 years until his retirement in 1997. His previous books in English include The Cistercian Way, Tuning in to Grace, Mercy in Weakness, Grace Can Do More, and The Way of Humility, all published by Cistercian Publications.

“Fr. Charles Cummings’s revised Monastic Practices is an insider’s guide to life in the monastic world. Although specifically directed at monastics, it offers secular readers much worthy of pondering value. Drawing on his lifetime in a Trappist abbey, Fr. Charles offers a richly austere, very beautiful volume. For many topics, Fr. Charles provides both the historical practice and the ways in which it has been modified more recently, assisting someone living in community to understand some of the more mystifying customs, or a secular reader to comprehend something of the way monks adapt to the changing world. The meditative bits that appear scattered throughout—discussion of silence, the quality of the cell, and the presence of death—add to the overall balance between instruction and reflection, history and now, individual and community that make Monastic Practices a distinctive and valuable contribution to the body of monastic literature.” Marjory Lange Western Oregon University




Palladius of AspunaThe Lausiac History

Edited and Translated by John WortleyBorn in Galatia in the 360s, Palladius enrolled as a monk on the Mount of Olives in his early twenties. As a monk, he traveled to Alexandria, the desert of Nitria, the Cells, Palestine, Rome, and the Thebaid. During his travels he encountered Rufinus of Aquileia, Melania the Elder, the hermit Dorotheos, Macarius of Alexandria, Evagrius of Pontus, Jerome of Bethlehem, and John Chrysostom. He wrote this elegant account of his visits to various monastic sites in Egypt toward the end of the fourth century AD for the imperial chamberlain Lausus. It is both the most sophisticated and the most informative of the few documents illustrating the earliest chapter in the history of Christian monasticism. Palladius’s work is the only one of the major monastic writings not written for fellow monks to inspire them with models for their emulation but rather for a man very much of the world, with the explicit intention of exerting not only religious but also political influence.

Gregory the GreatMoral Reflections on the Book of Job

Volume 2 (Books 6–10)Translated by Brian Kerns, OCSO

Introduction by Mark DelCoglianoGregory the Great was pope from 590 to 604, a time of great turmoil in Italy and in the western Roman Empire generally because of the barbarian inva-sions. Gregory’s experience as prefect of the city of Rome and as apocrisarius of Pope Pelagius fitted him admirably for the new challenges of the papacy. The Moral Reflections on the Book of Job were first given to the monks who accompanied Gregory to the embassy in Constantinople. This second volume, books containing 6–10, provides commentary on Job 5:3–12:5. Here, Gregory sets forth “a mystical interpretation” of these chapters, showing the way that Scripture foretells Christ’s incar-nation and that Job himself manifests Jesus’ passion.

Br. Brian Kerns has been a Trappist for fifty-eight years: seventeen years at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, and the rest at the Abbey of the Genesee in upper New York state, interrupted by a year at Oxford, North Carolina, and five years at Genesee’s foundation of Novo Mundo in Parana, Brazil. He hails originally from Pottsville, in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania. For many years he worked in the library at Genesee and Novo Mundo, and he has interested himself in various translation projects, including translating a book about the Abbot General of the Trappists in the early 1960s, titled Dom Gabriel Sortais: An Amazing Abbot in Turbulent Times. The first volume of his translation of Gregory the Great’s Moral Reflections on the Book of Job was published by Cistercian Publications in 2014.

Worship in the Early Church

An Anthology of Historical Sources

Lawrence J. JohnsonThis four-volume collection of excerpts from early Christian writings illustrates the church’s liturgical practice in both East and West, from its Jewish beginnings through the end of the sixth century. Source material includes doctrinal and historical treatises, scriptural commentaries, sermons, letters, synodal legislation, early church orders, monastic rules, baptismal and funeral epigrams. Introductions precede authors and major selections. A bibliography of pertinent literature, standard encyclopedias of religion, and manuals of patrology are also given.Rights: World, English, except Australia

“Worship in the Early Church will provide a useful overview of the commonalities and differences in worship traditions within the church, not only across time but also across space. . . . To discover these early writings on worship is to discover a spirit that has been lost in our modern age. For Christians to appropriate that spirit would connect us much more strongly to the early church and to the teachings of Christ than any given liturgical practice.” Theological Librarianship
