T&T Clark Handbook of Edward Schillebeeckx
Stephan van Erp (Anthology Editor), Daniel Minch (Anthology Editor)
Written by leading experts on both the thought of Edward Schillebeeckx and modern theology, this handbook offers the first comprehensive study of the historical, philosophical, political and theological aspects of Schillebeeckx’s work. As one of the most influential Catholic theologians of the twentieth century, he played a key role in the preparations for the theological revolution of the Second Vatican Council and the debates of the post-conciliar era. His engagement with critical theory, hermeneutics, and biblical scholarship culminated in his groundbreaking Christological trilogy, which marked Schillebeeckx as one of the most significant and innovative thinkers of his time.
By building an overview of recent research into Schillebeeckx’s writing, the contributors shed new light on his influence and ongoing relevance in contemporary theology. Beginning with the roots of Schillebeeckx’s views on metaphysics, spirituality and faith, the essays then move to his work during and after the Second Vatican Council, and then to his engagement with new directions in philosophy and his renewal of classical topics such as creation, theological and soteriological anthropology, and eschatology. Culminating with an analysis of theology and culture, this handbook thoroughly explores the implications of Schillebeeckx’s theology for a contemporary readership.

Called to be Merciful in Religious Commitment and Pastoral Charity
The Passionate Plea of Pope Francis
“By its very nature it (mercy) indicates something concrete: intentions, attitudes and behaviours that are shown in daily living. The mercy of God is his loving concern for each one of us…”
“This is the path which the merciful love of Christians must also travel. As the father loves, so do his children. Just as he is merciful, so we are called to be merciful to each other.”
“… wherever the church is present, the mercy of the father must be evident. In our parishes, communities, associations and movements, in a word, wherever there are Christians, everyone should find an oasis of mercy.”

Mary and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement
When Jesus was hanging on the cross, he gave us his mother Mary to be our mother. Mary was with her children in prayer at the birth of the Church. Mary continues to be with her children, guiding them in their journey of faith. Ecclesial groups like the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement can rely on her for guidance and prayers. The Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement can learn a lot from a true charismatic lady like Mary because she is an excellent model for all those who are striving to be true disciples of Jesus Christ.
THE FOUR GOSPELS: Catholic Personal Study Edition
The more we understand the four gospels—the distinct narrative and theological emphasis of each evangelist, the unique portrait of Jesus that each presents— the better we come to know Jesus. This knowledge, of course, is much more than an intellectual awareness or knowing about someone. When we enter into the gospels, we come to truly know Jesus the Christ in an intimate way. Through this volume readers will become familiar with the world in which Jesus lived, the cultural customs, the important geographic locations, the biblical terms familiar to first-century Christians but foreign to a contemporary audience. In addition to charts, maps and photos, this study of the gospels provides an excellent Catholic perspective, answering such questions as: How is the Bible used in the liturgy? What is the connection between the gospels and Catholic social teaching? The Four Gospels lends itself to both quick reference and more in-depth study or meditation. Whether you turn to the volume for personal use or as part of a formal study, you will appreciate the gospels more deeply—and know Jesus more intimately.
The Priest Is Not His Own
