and receive these themes of community, shared participation, and co-responsibility as nothing new, really. Rather, they have been a deep and integral part of a dynamic tradition of western monastic experience and wisdom for 1,500 years: Each one of us, pope or pauper, is a follower of Jesus, called daily to “Listen carefully … and incline the ear of your heart” (Prologue of the Rule of Benedict).

We actually think you might find reminders and insights on these themes in every book we publish.

Reforming the Church Global Perspectives Edited by Declan Marmion and Salvador Ryan; Epilogue by Kristin Colberg Some are calling the Synod on Synodality “the greatest consultation effort in human history” and for good reason. It is no small task to listen to the world’s 1.36 billion Catholics, especially when many Catholics have felt marginalized or unwelcome. Taking a cue from this ongoing synodal process, the experts gathered for Reforming the Church: Global Perspectives place the broader issues relating to church reform in their historical context, while exploring themes that have ongoing relevance to the universal church. What emerges is a reflection on the theme of reform within the Church: what it has meant in the past, what it means for us now; and what it might mean in the future.

The Most Important Words of Jesus Gerhard Lohfink, Translated by Linda M. Maloney What Jesus taught through his preaching made an unforgettable impression upon his disciples. But it was the many succinctly formulated sayings of Jesus that stood out from the start because of their clear structure and vividness. In The Most Important Words of Jesus, renowned scholar Gerhard Lohfink focuses on the power, beauty, and seriousness of these seventy central sayings of the Lord.

When the Church confesses that Jesus is not only truly human but also truly God, that means he is the perfect image of God, God’s definitive word. It rests on the majestic claim that revealed itself, modestly, discreetly, and yet clearly, in every one of the seventy “sayings” or logia of Jesus. In this book, Lohfink helps us to understand what Jesus is talking about in these sharply defined words.

978-0-8146-6850-4 Hardcover with dust jacket, 360 pp., 6 x 9, $34.95 e eBook Gerhard Lohfink was professor of New Testament exegesis at the University of Tübingen. His many books include Between Heaven and Earth, The Forty Parables of Jesus, No Irrelevant Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, Is This All There Is?, The Our Father, and Prayer Takes Us Home, all from Liturgical Press.

“Those familiar with Lohfink’s writings will not be disappointed. Those who have not read his works will be amazed. This is a sure resource for those who preach the gospel and for those who seek to be nourished by it.”

Frank J. Matera, Professor Emeritus, The Catholic University of America “Lohfink always impresses with the detailed care with which he delves into significant biblical texts. This extensive probe into seventy major ‘words’ of Jesus in the synoptic gospels will keep the reader thinking but also praying for a good long time.”

Tobit Michele Murray This commentary considers the book of Tobit through a specifically feminist lens, discoursing on topics fundamental to the human experience in the story, such as grief, death, family relationships, belonging to a minority community, disability issues, and contending with why bad things happen to good people.

978-0-8146-8114-5 Hardcover with dust jacket, 320 pp., 6 x 9, $49.95 e eBook Michele Murray is professor in the department of religion, society, and culture at Bishop’s University, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, where she served as the dean of arts and science, and dean of arts, for a decade. Her research areas include Jewish-Christian relations in the ancient world, and interaction among Eastern-Mediterranean religions in late antiquity.

“In her learned and lucid commentary on the humorous book of Tobit, Michele Murray combines scholarly observations that shed light on the literary, intertextual, and cultural world of this work with insightful personal reflections and illustrative vignettes prompted by the social, ethical, and emotional dimensions of the story. She ensures that her readers will discover new meanings in the text and in themselves.”

Christine Hayes, Yale University

“With this engaging treatment of Tobit, the social world of the story comes alive through comparisons to historical and modern equivalents. Feminist and intersectional concerns are prominent, creating a dialogue between ancient text and modern social issues.”

Lawrence M. Wills Boston College School of Theology and Ministry “This book, the first full-length feminist commentary on the Book of Tobit, is simply a delight—a commentary that fixes its lenses on the ancient context and our own. Its intersectional approach lifts up the connections among gender, sexuality, race, and ability as they pertain to social justice.”

Adele Reinhartz University of Ottawa

Revelation Lynn R. Huber with Gail R. O’Day In this commentary, Lynn R. Huber situates Revelation and its earliest audiences in the overlapping worlds of ancient Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and first-century Judaism.

She also examines how interpreters from different generations living within other worlds have found meaning in this image-rich and meaning-full book.

“By blending queer and multicultural perspectives with attention to material culture, Huber shows us what’s at stake in interpreting the Apocalypse.”

Greg Carey Lancaster Theological Seminary “This monumental book is a wonderful interdisciplinar and intersectional reading of Revelation, bringing much needed insights from feminist, womanist and queer theory. As engaging as it is accessible, this volume will surely become the go-to commentary for a notoriously rich and challenging text.”

Meredith J. C. Warren University of Sheffield “If you have questions about the gendered imagery in Revelation (and who doesn’t?), now you have a reliable guide in Lynn Huber. Essential reading for anyone who wants to dive deeper into Revelation’s mysteries.”

Beyond the Visible Church The Motif of the ecclesia ab Abel from Augustine to James Alison Florian Klug Foreword by Massimo Faggioli

979-8-4008-0009-2 Paperback, 440 pp., 6 x 9, $79.95 e eBook

Available January 2024 Florian Klug is a researcher and lecturer at Julius-MaximiliansUniversität Würzburg, Germany.

“In this tour de force of historical-theological scholarship, Florian Klug analyzes the use of the symbol ecclesia ab Abel from the patristic age to the medieval, modern, and contemporary periods and shows how the reality of the church exists outside its visible confines. I strongly recommend Klug’s book for a graduate course on the church.”

Peter C. Phan Georgetown University “Florian Klug displays wide-ranging theological knowledge, and takes his readers on a winding but clear and enriching pilgrimage across Church tradition.”

Karen Kilby, Durham University

In Beyond the Visible Church, theologian Florian Klug investigates the Abel motif hermeneutically throughout Christian church history.

By showing how the biblical motif of Abel was read and used by representative theologians like Augustine, Bonaventure, Martin Luther, Yves Congar, and others of each epoch, Klug builds the story of the Church’s self-conception and shows how it has evolved over time. By tracing this theological and ecclesiological history and how the motif formed theologians and the Church over time, Klug shows readers a new way to conceive and understand God’s universal will for salvation.

“Besides offering a timely reflection on a perennial theme— namely, the church’s hidden operation in history since Abel— Beyond the Visible Church brings together elements seldom found in a single book. The result is a valuable reminder that the true church, despite its sociological elements, remains a mystery that is not—and never has been—easily circumscribed.”

Nature Praising God Towards a Theology of the Natural World Dermot A. Lane; Foreword by Margaret Daly-Denton

978-0-8146-6910-5 Paperback, 128 pp., 5½ x 8½, $19.95 e eBook Rights: US, Canada & Mexico only

Dermot A. Lane is a priest of the Archdiocese of Dublin, former president of Mater Dei Institute of Education, Dublin City University, and retired pastor in Balally parish.

“Dermot Lane is a prophetic leader inspiring the church’s growing ecological consciousness. He thinks outside the anthropocentric box to work out a fresh and theologically rich understanding of the natural world.”

Margaret Daly-Denton, author of Psalm-Shaped Prayerfulness “Fr. Lane sketches how ecological awareness can, and should, help us to reshape Catholic theology and worship for living together on a planet in crisis.”

Terrence W. Tilley Professor Emeritus of Theology Fordham University 12

During the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 crisis, streets were emptied, churches closed, and a relationship with nature developed in which questions to be asked again in light of the crisis arose: Is God present in nature? Is communion with God in nature possible? Is there a relationship between the God of creation, the God of history, and the God we worship in Sunday liturgies?

In Nature Praising God, Dermot Lane explores these questions by returning to the Bible. The Christian tradition shows that nature is understood as a living community, is graced by God, and has a sacramental character. He suggests that readers change their perception of how nature is traditionally regarded as a resource for human needs— and embrace a new way of praising God through an appreciation of and care for the myriad life forms on earth. The result of these explorations is the outline of a new theology of nature praising God, with lessons for the way we worship God in our churches today.

“A book which sparkles with delightful thoughts inspired both by nature and by humanity.”

The Irish Catholic “A good book, written with verve, challenge, coherence, clarity, and zeal.”

The work survives in at least 670 manuscripts with the complete English translation of the treatise published in 1701.

“David Bell has brought to life a fascinating chapter in the larger-than-life image of Bernard of Clairvaux created by the misattribution of many works to this revered Cistercian author. The volume is a great introduction to the rich field of Cistercian spirituality beyond the already well-known giants like Bernard.”

Anne L. Clark, Professor Emerita of Religion, University of Vermont “Who knew that the most popular work by Bernard of Clairvaux in the medieval period was not by Bernard at all? David Bell presents this influential anonymous work to modern English audiences with a thorough introduction. As usual, David Bell is as entertaining as he is effortlessly erudite.”

Fr. Lawrence Morey, Abbey of Gethsemani

Conor M. Kelly Foreword by Carolyn Y. Woo

“Don’t tell me your values, show me your budget! A great line in this book! To be credible in its social teaching, the church must apply it to itself. This book is an important milestone in this endeavor.”

Msgr. Martin Schlag University of St. Thomas

“Although racism impacts us profoundly, it remains a sensitive and polarizing topic that is difficult to broach in many faith communities. Conor Kelly provides an opening. Racism and Structural Sin is both nuanced and accessible, useful for faith formation as well the seminary, undergraduate, and high school classroom.”

Grief on the Road to Emmaus

The Life and Legacy of Shigeto Vincent Oshida, OP

A Monastic Approach to Journeying with the Bereaved

Lucien Miller Foreword by Timothy Radcliffe, OP

Beth L. Hewett

“Lucien Miller presents boundarycrossing insights and practices at the core of cross-cultural spiritual living.

He profoundly offers an experience of accessible guidance and consolation for world readers of allfaiths living on the ropes.”

Jonathan Montaldo, author of Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton

“Grief on the Road to Emmaus taps directly into that time-tested approach to seeking God in community to give perspective to anyone who is called upon to accompany people grieving any significant loss, the hurting and the traumatized, the hopeless and the rudderless.”

Linda Romey, OSB, Global Sisters Report

“Oshida’s life and legacy is an experience of the spiritual senses knowing the mystical voice. Biblical in sources and Buddhist in form, reading this book took me as a reader to the great pause of silence.”

Sister Meg Funk, OSB

“This book is an important contribution to the work of healing. Hewett’s application of the wisdom of St. Benedict is an inspiration.”

The Downside Review

Lucien Miller attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his BA, MA, and PhD in comparative literature. While teaching comparative literature and Chinese at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Lucien felt called to be a Roman Catholic deacon, and he served in that capacity and as spiritual director at the Newman Catholic Student Center for thirty-five years.

On Catholic Eucharistic Action

Thomas O’Loughlin

“Bradshaw’s excellent study will surely become the standard English text for students and scholars alike. I welcome its publication and the contribution it will make to the field of liturgical history and to the study of early Christianity in general.”

Maxwell E. Johnson University of Notre Dame “This little book is a must read. Seldom has so much insight been packed into such short compass with such literary finesse.”

Catholic Book Review

“In this book, Fr. O’Loughlin pulls the eucharist out of the tabernacles and off the library shelves. He respectfully places the Body of Christ right on our kitchen tables to be shared especially with those who are rejected and underserved. This nourishing meditation is a rejuvenating reminder that the people of God are the ones called to celebrate their own mystery of faith.”

RULE OF ST. BENEDICT

St. Benedict’s Rule An Inclusive Translation and Daily Commentary Judith Sutera, OSB This gender-neutral translation is true to the original text but provides an alternative for individuals and groups who prefer such a version over the masculine language of the original as it was written for St. Benedict’s monks. It also offers some background into the context in which it was written, as well as reflections on its meaning for contemporary life, making it a resource for those encountering the Rule for the first time or those who have cherished it for years.

A Significant Milestone in the isdom Commentary brings together today’s best scholars to provide modern readers with a truly fresh look at every book of the Bible. While issues of gender are primary in this project, the volumes also address the intersecting issues of power, authority, ethnicity, race, class, and religious belief and practice.

Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretation from various parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

BERIT OLAM

Studies in Hebrew Narratives & Poetry

Berit Olam books available digitally through Logos Bible Software

This multivolume commentary series reflects the latest developments in a relatively new method of biblical study: literary criticism. The authors approach the books of the Hebrew Bible as literary works, recognizing that the stories and poetry can be better appreciated if one is acquainted with the techniques whereby the ancient Hebrew authors told stories and wrote poems as well as the strategies that modern readers use to understand them.
