Beyond the Visible Church The Motif of the ecclesia ab Abel from Augustine to James Alison

Florian Klug, Foreword by Massimo Faggioli

Florian Klug investigates the Abel motif hermeneutically throughout Christian church history. This unique and ground-breaking study opens new ways forward for Catholic ecclesiology.

“Klug’s thesis has immense implications not only for ecclesiology but also for pneumatology, the theology of grace, Christian mission, and, unexpectedly, for Jewish-Christian relations. I strongly recommend Klug’s book for a graduate course on the church.”

Praying for Freedom Racism and Ignatian Spirituality in America

Edited by Laurie Cassidy

In this edited volume, the contributors to this book explore and attempt to answer “why do the Spiritual Exercises not change us as deeply as we hope?” in the context of ongoing racial injustice in the United States.

“Praying for Freedom invites us into becoming swept up and responsive to the overabundance of God’s grace, and into unlearning white supremacy, a holy unlearning. Dare to move.”
