There are titles on Africa, Christian-Muslim dialogue, poverty in America and climate change, as well as the voices of modern prophets like Dorothy Day, Abraham Heschel, Martin Luther King, Thomas Berry, and Thomas Merton. There are titles that address the joyful as well as anguishing aspects of the human condition, including the mysteries of suffering and death. All of these themes are reected in the spirit of Maryknolla spirit described in Father Joe Venerosos new book, Mirrors of Grace: The Spirit and Spiritualities of Maryknoll

Mirrors of Grace shines a light on spiritual ideas that can uplift all of us. Filled with true stories and fullcolor pictures of Maryknollers in action, it will inspire us to express that spirit wherever we happen to be. Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M., is a Maryknoll priest and the former publisher of Maryknoll magazine. He is the author of God in Unexpected Places (Orbis, 2007) and Good News for Today (Orbis, 2009).

A Spiritual Journey with the Refugees of East Africa James Martin, S.J.
With a new Afterword by the author
A new edition of the rst book by the best-selling author of My Life with the Saints and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything.

This Our Exile

Catholic Book Award in Pastoral Ministry

n alert observer, a humble learner, and a sympathetic listener, James Martin is also a first-rate storyteller . . . . His spiritual journey becomes ours in this stirring, joy-filled, beautiful book. Ron Hansen, author, Mariette in Ecstasy

A cant-put-it down page-turner . . . . You will learn about sorrow and injustice on a scale you can scarcely imagine. But you will also witness the triumph of faith and love and the human spirit. Catholic News Service Seamlessly combining spiritual writing, reportage, travel narrative, humor, and recent history, bestselling author James Martin recalls his time as a young Jesuit working with the refugees in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Drawing on his previous experience in the business world, he imagined that he had much to teach the refugees. But they would end up teaching him much more about life, about survival and faith, and about love and friendship. With stories that are by turns frankly incredible, darkly comic, inspirational, tragic, and always provocative, this compelling work is a wonderfully realized tribute to our shared humanity. James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, culture editor of America magazine, and the author of many books including the New York Times best-seller The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life (HarperOne, 2010) and My Life with the Saints (Loyola, 2007), which has sold over 100,000 copies. A frequent commentator on NPR, a recurring guest as chaplain to the Comedy Channels The Colbert Report, and a blogger on The Huffington Post, he is widely regarded as one of the most popular Catholic writers today.

Modern Spiritual Masters

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Essential Writings
Edited with an Introduction by Susannah Heschel
Selections from the writings of the leading Jewish theologian and philosopher of the 20th century, edited by his daughter.

f you want to know God, sharpen your sense of the human.Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was one of the great religious teachers and moral prophets of our time. Born in Warsaw to a long line of Hasidic rabbis, he chose instead to study philosophy in Germany. Expelled back to Warsaw, he escaped just weeks before the Nazi invasion and settled in the United States. Through a series of books he contributed greatly to the spiritual renewal of Judaism. But he exerted an equal influence on Christians, so much that he was called another apostle to the gentiles. A passionate champion of interfaith dialogue, he served as an official observer at Vatican II and was influential in challenging the Catholic Church to overcome the legacy of anti-Semitism. He raised a prophetic challenge to the social issues of his day, marching with Martin Luther King and protesting the Vietnam war. His writings here on prayer, God, prophecy, the human condition, and the spiritual life vividly communicate his instinct for the holy dimension of all existence. Susannah Heschel, the daughter of Abraham Heschel, is the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College. Her many books include The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany (Princeton, 2008) and Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus (Chicago, 1998). She is the editor of Moral Grandeur & Spiritual Audacity: Essays of Abraham Joshua Heschel (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1997).

The Art of Dying and Living

Kerry Walters
Lessons from modern saintsCatholics and Protestantsthat illuminate the relation between how we die and how we live.

ying is the most general human event, something we all have to do. But do we do it well? Is our own death more than an unavoidable fate that we simply wish would not be? Can it somehow become an act of fulfillment, perhaps more human than any other human act? Henri Nouwen

All of us face the prospect of deathif not this day, then one day. But most of us would rather defer that thought indefinitely. Earlier generations of Christians studied classic ars moriendimanuals on the art of dyingto help them face and embrace mortality. They learned from these books something our own generation is in danger of forgetting: that the manner in which one dies very much depends on the manner in which one has lived.

April 272pp., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4 $20.00 paperback World Rights ISBN 978-1-57075-924-6 RELIGION/Christian Life/Death, Grief, Bereavement

Kerry Walters offers a new take on an old theme, exploring the connection between living and dying well by recounting the stories of nine exemplary men and women of our time and the particular virtues they embodied. From Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Sister Thea Bowman, Etty Hillesum, Civil Rights martyr Jonathan Daniels, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pope John Paul II, and Caryll Houselander, we learn lessons about love, trust, gratitude, patience, courage, and hospitality. These lessons teach us something about how to die. But mostly they show us what it means to truly live. Kerry Walters is a professor of philosophy and peace and justice studies at Gettysburg College. He is the author of many books, including Atheism: A Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum, 2010) and Practicing Presence: The Spirituality of Caring in Everyday Life (Sheed & Ward, 2001).

The Uncollected Writings of Malcolm Muggeridge Malcolm Muggeridge

Edited with an Introduction by Nicholas Flynn Foreword by Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Gathers together for the rst time some of the most brilliant and controversial journalism of the 20th century by a high-prole public intellectual and convert to Catholicism

Time and Eternity

alcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) was one of the English-speaking worlds most fascinating literary figures. His writing dazzles with its prophetic insight, courage, and wit. He was the first writer to reveal the true nature of Stalins regime when in 1933 he exposed the terror famine in the Ukraine. Four decades later, Muggeridge was to make the work of Mother Teresa of Calcuttawho contributed a Foreword to this book during the initial stages of its research known all over the world.

This enthralling collection of Muggeridges journalism reveals the astonishing range and steadiness of his gaze. Muggeridge seems to have been present at the great turning points of the last century and to have known, and seen through, the pretensions of many of its protagonists. Painstakingly researched from among Muggeridges private papers, journals, letters and unpublished works, Time and Eternity offers unique and inspirational insight into the professional and private journey of one of the great writers of our time. Nicholas Flynn was a friend of Malcolm Muggeridge in the final decade of his life and is an authority on his work. He is a writer, painter, and musician who has written for The Independent newspaper and Guitar International. He lives in London.

A Biography of Dorothy Day Jim Forest

A fresh look at the life of the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement 30 years after her death.

All Is Grace

he best introduction to Dorothy Day and the spirit of the Catholic Worker. Jeff Dietrich, The Catholic Agitator

Jim Forests book about Dorothy Day is much like the grand lady herself: disarming in simplicity of approach and statement, but awesome in cumulative effect. John Deedy, Commonweal Dorothy Day (1897-1980), founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and one of the most prophetic voices in the American Catholic Church, has recently been proposed as a candidate for canonization. In this lavishly illustrated biography, Jim Forest provides a compelling portrait of her heroic efforts to live out the radical message of the Gospel for our time. A journalist and social reformer in her youth, Day surprised her friends with the decision in 1927 to enter the Roman Catholic Church. In the Catholic Worker, which she launched in 1933, she found a way to combine her faith with her compelling commitment to the poor and social justice. Day and those who joined her devoted themselves to the Works of Mercy while struggling to create a new society where it is easier to be good. An ardent pacifist, Day was frequently arrested for her protests in the cause of peace and for the rights of workers. Drawing on Days recently published diaries and letters, Forest chronicles her extraordinary journey, with special stress on the unique spiritual vision that underlay her dramatic witness. Jim Forest, who lives in The Netherlands, is secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. A lifelong peacemaker, he is the author of many books, including Praying with Icons (Orbis, 2008), The Road to Emmaus: Pilgrimage as a Way of Life (Orbis, 2007), and Living with Wisdom: A Life of Thomas Merton (Orbis, 2008).

Seeking Paradise
Edited with an Introduction by Paul M. Pearson
A best-selling Trappist monk expresses his joy and enthusiasm for the lost tradition of spirituality and craftsmanship of the Shakers.

The Spirit of the Shakers Thomas Merton

he peculiar grace of a Shaker chair is due to the fact that it was made by someone capable of believing that an angel might come and sit on it.Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton, with his Cistercian instinct for religious purity, simplicity, and the sacramental value of work, was, as this illuminating volume shows, the natural dialogue partner with the Shakers and their artful work. Lawrence S. Cunningham, author, Thomas Merton and the Monastic Vision His delight in the Shakers and his admiration for the noble simplicity of their life and work shine through the pages of this very readable book. William H. Shannon, author, Silent Lamp: The Thomas Merton Story Through this beautiful and inspiring volume the American soul is laid bare to challenge us . . . to dance to a more joyful and worthy tune. M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O. In these essays, talks, and a stunning selection of his own photographs, Thomas Merton hauntingly evokes the spirituality of a uniquely American sect. Largely remembered today for a legacy of extraordinary craftsmanship, the Shakers espoused a way of life, as Merton shows, with surprising relevance for today. In their approach to work as a form of worship, in their practice of community, their simplicity and rejection of violence, and their profound witness to the Kingdom of God, Merton finds lessons for all Christians. Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O., who died in 1968, was a Trappist monk and one of the great spiritual writers of the twentieth century. Paul M. Pearson is director and archivist of the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine College, Louisville, Kentucky.

The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth

Thomas Berry
Edited by John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker
Reections on Christianity, the sacred community of Life, and the New Universe Story by one of the true prophets of our age.

ay be the best guide yet to the work of Thomas Berry. It is as though these essays embody the bonding force he calls the Great Compassionate Curve of the universe.Catherine Keller

A highly readable gem.Catholic Library World Inspiring, often lyrical.St. Anthony Messenger Like no other religious thinker, Thomas Berry has been a prophetic voice regarding Earths destruction and the urgent need for human response from the Christian community. This book collects Berrys signature views on the interrelatedness of both Earths future and the Christian future. He ponders why Christians have been late in coming to the issue of the environment. He reflects insightfully on how the environment must be seen as a religious issue, not simply a scientific or economic problem. In powerful and poetic language Berry presents a compelling vision of the sacredness of the universe and the interrelatedness of the Earth community. Drawing on Thomas Aquinas and Teilhard de Chardin he brings the Christian tradition into a cosmology of care for the whole of creation. Thomas Berry, C.P., was a geologian, historian of religion, and philosopher, a member of the Passionist order, and the single most important Christian and Catholic voice on the link between faith, reverence for all of life, and the environmental crisis. His many books included The Dream of the Earth and Evening Thoughts (both Sierra Club Books, 2006).

The Struggle for Life on Earth Paul Collins

A powerful warning of the perils of global warming and a mobilization of the Christian conscience to change our thinking, our ways of acting, and so to save our planet.

Judgment Day

aul Collins presents the political, economic, scientific, and spiritual aspects of the ecological crisis convincingly and brilliantly. Hans Kng, author, Global Responsibility: In Search of a New World Ethic

A courageous book. Paul Collins deploys his considerable skills as a historian, theologian, and journalist to convince the reader of the magnitude of the crisis now threatening the Earth. Sean McDonagh, author, The Greening of the Church The recent Gulf oil spill is just the latest depredation against the planet. From every direction come signs of global climate change and other forms of ecological disaster that threaten the future of all living beings. In this sobering assessment of our condition, Paul Collins examines the nature of this crisis and how we got hereincluding a review of the mental habits of thought, including religious worldviews, that have contributed to our dilemma and continue to inhibit effective action. As Collins shows, if religious ideas have contributed to the problem, there are also powerful resources within the Christian tradition that can help us both in scripture, and in the work of prophetic geologians like Thomas Berry and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Drawing on these resources, Collins lays out the elements of a theology aimed at saving the Earth and ourselves. Historian and broadcaster Paul Collins is the author of 11 books on religion, the environment, and history including Papal Power: A Proposal for Change in Catholicisms Third Millennium (Harper Collins, 1997) and Gods Earth: Religion as if Matter Really Mattered (Dove, 1995). He lives in Canberra, Australia.

Passion of Christ, Passion of the World

Leonardo Boff
With a new Preface by the author
A new edition of a foundational work in Liberation Theology.

First Place Award for Spirituality Catholic Press Association

fine reinterpretation of atonement theory from a liberationist perspective. Roger Haight, Jesus Symbol of God

This classic work of liberation theology explores the meaning of the Cross, both as it has been interpreted in the past and how it should be interpreted in the context of contemporary faith and circumstances. These particular circumstances include the poverty and repression, fear and violence under which so many of the worlds people suffer today. In such a world, how can the Cross be understood and preachedand what are the consequences of that understanding?

February 160pp., 6 x 9 1/4, index $22.00 paperback World English Rights ISBN 978-1-57075-909-3 RELIGION/Christian Theology/Liberation RELIGION/Christianity/Catholic

When Boff first wrote in the 1970s his immediate context was military dictatorship, torture, and violent repression in Latin America. As he notes in his new Preface, that context must be enlarged today to include the passion of the Eartha continuation of the Passion of Christ in our time. Leonardo Boff is Brazils best-known theologian, author of more than sixty books on liberation theology, ecology, and spirituality, including Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor (Orbis, 1997), Ecclesiogenesis: The Base Communities Reinvent the Church (Orbis, 1978), Jesus Christ Liberator (Orbis, 1984), and is co-author of Introducing Liberation Theology (Orbis, 1997) and The Tao of Liberation (Orbis, 2010).

The Emergent Christ

Exploring the Meaning of Catholic in an Evolutionary Universe Ilia Delio
The author of Christ in Evolution continues her exploration of faith and science in the 21st century. he most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. Albert Einstein

Ilia Delio makes fascinating sense of the universe, beginning with the story of cosmic evolution, coursing through the meaning of God in evolution and the emergence of Christ, and concluding with new ways of seeing Christ in all things. As Teilhard de Chardin did in The Divine Milieu, Ilia Delio reveals the sacrament of God at work in the world. She also explores the spiritual evolution within each of us and suggests that it will change the cosmos as well as the church. She shows that we are at a stage in evolution where our choices will determine what happens next.

The Emergent Christ is an antidote to the new atheism that says there is no place in evolution for God, let alone a God of love. It is also a spiritual tonic for Christians interested in understanding their place and purpose in this evolving universe. Ilia Delio, O.S.F., is Senior Fellow in Science and Religion at Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University. She is the winner of the 2000 Templeton Course Award in Science and Religion, and the author of Christ in Evolution (Orbis, 2008), Care for Creation: A Franciscan Spirituality of the Earth (Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 2008), and Franciscan Prayer (Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 2004).

New Series: Theology in Dialogue

Environmental Science and Theology in Dialogue

Russell A. Butkus and Steven A. Kolmes
Russell A. Butkus, Carol J. Dempsey, and Anne M. Clifford, General Editors
Demonstrates how understanding environmental science and theology can provide new resources for sustaining the Earth.

compelling sign of the times is that our human experience today is defined in part by increasing ecological degradation. Given the complexity of these environmental issues, this book argues that creative and strategic collaboration between theology and environmental science is necessary to find and implement practical solutions.

The authors argue a solid grounding in environmental science creates an understanding of the major environmental problems we face: global climate change, ozone depletion, depletion of the earths resources, collapse of biodiversity, overpopulation and over-consumption, the presence of persistent toxins, and the challenges of achieving sustainability. With humankind contributing to the source of many of these problems, the book also explores the many contributions theology can make to the healing of the worldincluding an understanding of God as creator and the roles of nature, grace, sin, and revelation. With sidebars, discussion questions, and recommended readings, this book provides students and professors a text that nurtures both critical thinking and ethical action. Russell A. Butkus is an associate professor of theology and environmental studies and associate director of the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Portland. He co-edited, with Carol Dempsey, All Creation Is Groaning: An Interdisciplinary Vision for Life in a Sacred Universe (Liturgical/M. Glazier, 1999). Steven A. Kolmes holds the Molter Chair in Science at the University of Portland. He is director of the Environmental Science Department and a professor of environmental science. He has served as a consultant for government bodies and for U.S. Catholic bishops preparing a pastoral letter on the environment.

Reections on Christian Mission Today Stephen B. Bevans and Roger P. Schroeder

A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be effective in the twenty-rst century, mission must be prophetic as it encounters other cultures and religious traditions.

Prophetic Dialogue

hen we speak of mission as dialogue, then, we are about as far away from imagining mission as conquering the world for Christ and missionaries as marines of the Catholic Church as we probably can get. There has indeed been a radical shift, both in the world in which the church does mission and within the churchs own consciousness of the goodness and even holiness of that world. These words from one of the essays in this superb collection clearly demonstrate the changing view of mission today. In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder address a primary challenge faced by Christians missioners today: How can they bring the Christian tradition to interact respectfully and effectively with members of other cultures and traditions from around the globe and still be prophetic?

Catholic Engagement with World Religions

A Comprehensive Study Karl J. Becker and Ilaria Morali, editors
with the collaboration of Maurice Borrmans and Gavin DCosta
Twenty-ve eminent international scholars describe how Catholic theology has grappled with religious pluralism.

his magisterial work outlines, clarifies, and defends official Roman Catholic teaching on the relationship between Christianity and other religious traditions in light of the Catholic belief that We must hold that the Holy Spirit offers to all the possibility of being made partners, in a way known to God, in the paschal mystery (Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, 22).

Part I studies the history of these issues while Part II examines their theological framing. Part III addresses Christianity and other religions since Vatican II. Part IV deals specifically with Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Islam as these religions see themselves in relation to Christianity. A final chapter by Bishop Michael Fitzgerald offers a theological reflection on the foundations of interreligious dialogue today. For scholars, students, and practitioners of interreligious encounter, Catholic Engagement with World Religions is necessary and absorbing reading.
