Theological and
Pastoral Perspectives
Cardinal Walter Kasper
Pope Francis’ Revolution
of Tenderness and Love
In Pope Francis’ Revolution of Tenderness and Love: Theological and Pastoral Perspectives,
Cardinal Walter Kasper, who has been referred to as “the pope’s theologian,” has “brought
fresh air into the church, the wind, the confidence, joy and freedom.” This fresh air is not
simply the result of a charismatic figure, but rests in the deep rooted theological and pastoral experience of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. This book outlines the significant influences that
have led Kasper to call Francis a pope leading a radical revolution of tenderness and love—
radical because it is rooted in the Gospel.
According to Kasper, Francis’ experiences are rooted in a movement that began with
the Second Vatican Council. Kasper traces Francis’ continuity with the popes who have
preceded him, St. John XXIII, Pope Paul VI, St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI: There is
no real surprise in what Francis is saying; he emphasizes that there are not any new features, just the eternal newness of the Gospel, which repeats itself over and over again.
Jesus Christ, is “the eternal Gospel….he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, yet his
wealth and his beauty are inexhaustible” (EG 11). Francis embodies the living tradition of
the church meeting the modern world.
The central theological vision of Pope Francis is the understanding of God as mercy
itself. If God is mercy, then what are its ramifications for believers? Francis says:
“Look, read the Beatitudes that will do you good. If you then want to know what you
have to do specifically, read Matthew chapter 25. This is the pattern in which we will be
judged. With these two things, you have the plan of action: the Beatitudes and Matthew
25. You don’t need to read anything else. And I ask you with all my heart.” The church is
for Francis far more than an organic and hierarchical institution; it is above all God’s people on the way to God, the pilgrim and evangelizing the people that always, if necessary,
also exceeds institutional expression. The Church must have the mercy of God as its central theme and activity.
In conclusion, Kasper describes Francis in soccer terms as “the man of the match,” a
charismatic, confident leader completely convinced of the message of the Gospel. He
“combines continuity with the great tradition of the Church with renewal and ever new surprises. This also includes a poor church for the poor. This is not a liberal program; it is a
radical program. Radical because it touches on the root and is a revolution of tenderness
and love....What the pope is proposing is the humble way devout people move continents
and can move mountains (Mt 17,19; 21,21). A little mercy—he says—can change the world.
This is the Christian revolution....It is revolution in the true sense of the word—originally, the
return to the origin of the Gospel as a way forward, a revolution of mercy.”

Richard Leonard, SJ
What Are We
Doing on Earth for
Christ's Sake?
Bestselling author Richard Leonard's third book in a series of questions, What Are We
Doing On Earth for Christ's Sake?, invites Christians to revisit their faith in the midst of the
contemporary world and its challenges. Rather than ignoring the world around us or creating one that is removed from reality, the book encourages the need for honest dialogue,
stresses the importance of religious experience, but most importantly, urges the practice
of genuine actions for Christ's sake.
“Whenever Christianity strays from Jesus’ law in regard to the love of God, neighbor,
and self, we end up in trouble. This law is the litmus test, through which all things
must be judged, including our own religious words and actions. It is the guiding
principle of our moral code, including how we use our wealth and property to serve
the human family. Not that the loving thing to do is not, sometimes, also the hardest and toughest decision, it is just that our morality is not about laws and rules and
social control, it is about the ability to learn from two thousand years of experience
in trying to live out Christ’s love in the world, not repeating our many and heinous
mistakes, naming the things that hold us back from realizing our own potential, and
serving others so they might realize their own freedom as children of God. Some of
our harshest critics would notice the good we have done, and do, only if, as some
of them would like, all organized religion ceased to be. While you do not have to be
religious to be moral, some of the most heroic human acts of service in every country in the world are done by people motivated by their religious faith….”

Key Contributors,

Edited by Massimo Faggioli
and Andrea Vicini, SJ
The Legacy of Vatican II
The volume celebrates and studies the legacy of the Second Vatican Council by offering
the contributions of twelve international outstanding scholars.
The first part studies the contributions of four Jesuit theologians at Vatican II: Card.
Augustin Bea, in the biblical field and ecumenical dialogue (by Jared Wicks SJ); Henri de
Lubac, in framing the relationship between the world and the Church (by Susan Wood);
Otto Semmelroth, in ecclesiology (by Dennis Doyle); and John Courtney Murray, on religious freedom (by David Hollenbach, SJ).
Part two reflects on the Council’s key themes by focusing on continuity and change, and
in particular: a theological appraisal of Vatican II (by Christoph Theobald, SJ); the relationship between theologians and bishops at Vatican II (by John O’Malley, SJ); a
hermeneutical approach of the Council (by Peter Huenermann); and the issue of contraception at the Council (by Leslie Woodcock Tentler).
Part three examines the Council’s engagements with the social and the public by studying: the Council's theology of worldy engagement (by Richard R. Gaillardetz); liturgical
reform and the public role of the Catholic Church (by John F. Baldovin, SJ); the changes
in moral theology and public Catholicism since Vatican II (by Lisa Sowle Cahill); and the
new Catholic communities promoting grassroots democracy (by Bradford E. Hinze).
Massimo Faggioli received his PhD from the University of Turin in 2002. Dr. Faggioli is
assistant professor in the Theology Department of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul

Massimo Faggioli
Pope Francis
Tradition in Transition
The election of Pope Francis represents not only a great historical event, but also a key moment for understanding the
direction of the Catholic Church. In this illuminating work, Massimo Faggioli offers his
unique insight into the pontificate of Pope Francis.
This is not a biography of Pope Francis, nor a complete chronicle of the early months
of his pontificate. It is, rather, an attempt to capture some special moments and some key
issues at the heart of the transition from Pope Benedict XVI to Francis, with the intuition
that this unexpected transition—how it is carried out, and what it has given rise to—reveals
something which is not only a special “Catholic event,” but also a particular historical
moment in a tradition in flux: a tradition that touches the contemporary world far beyond
the borders of Rome and Roman Catholicism.
Massimo Faggioli received his PhD from the University of Turin in
2002. Dr. Faggioli is assistant professor in the Theology Department
of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul (Minnesota).

Pope Francis
Family and Life
Pastoral Teachings 1999–2013
In preparation for the Meeting of the Synod of Bishops on the family that took place in
October 2014 and the upcoming Eighth World Meeting of Families in September 2015, the
Pontifical Council for the Family has gather and translated into English thirteen documents dealing with matrimony, family, and life that Pope Francis, as Cardinal Jorge Mario
Bergoglio, used as teaching documents when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
The texts included in this edition—on matrimony, family, and life—are always dealt with
in the context of everyday realities, never in the abstract. They are themes that we hear
again and again in the daily preaching of Pope Francis: the family as a concrete and
human reality, the place to learn the art of living and loving. And matrimony is the foundation of family, a step in the process of “humanization” of the individual and the world.
It is like a “first sacrament” of humankind where the individual discovers him or herself
in relation to others and to the love that is able to receive love and return it.

Gabriel Quicke
“Come Love with Me”
Augustine as Spiritual Guide
The inspiration for this book is found in the The Homilies of Saint
Augustine on the Gospel of Saint John, which is a pastoral work.
Augustine’s sermons in general are an important source for the study of his theology and spirituality, and are a necessary complement to his more doctrinal writings. This book shows how Augustine presented complex theological thoughts to the faithful, how he acted as bishop and pastor,
and how he tried to be a promoter of the unity of the Church. This book attempts to bring two elements together by going to the heart of Augustine’s spirituality and to the heart of the Christian way
of life. Through these movements, common links can be discovered such as prayer, humility, the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Pilgrim-Church, and charity. Augustine can enlighten us as we seek
and yearn for peace and harmony. The author explains why Augustine, who experienced God’s love
in the humble Christ and was a witness of Christian unity, can be considered to be a spiritual guide
for a Christian today.
Father Gabriel Quicke is a priest of the Diocese of Bruges, Belgium. He studied patristic theology at the Gregorian University in Rome. He obtained a doctorate at the Angelicum University. In
2009 he was appointed as an official at the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and is
responsible for the dialogue with the Oriental Orthodox Churches.

Let Yourself Be Loved
Transforming Fear into Hope
(Revised and Expanded Edition)
Let Yourself Be Loved is a book of hope for all who desire love but also fear it. In its pages, readers
are likely to recognize feelings within themselves: the part that is longing to be loved; and also fears
within themselves: fearing vulnerability, judgment, and loss of control—the part that holds back.
In this updated volume, with an additional chapter and prayers, readers will discover a joyful
and liberating invitation simply to be loved: to recognize the loving presence of God that is always
there unconditionally, ready to embrace and enfold them—despite their fears and resistance.
Phillip Bennett is coordinator of the graduate program in pastoral counseling at Neumann College
in Aston, Pennsylvania. Dr. Bennett is a Fellow of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors
and currently practices psychotherapy in Philadelphia.

The Mysteries of

Salvation –
Maria Rosa Poggio
Ave Maria
See, Learn, and Meditate on the
Mysteries of the Rosary
Ave Maria, through meditating on The Mysteries of the Rosary—the joyful, sorrowful, glorious and luminous—tells the story of salvation through words and images.
The Good News, a gospel of revelation and salvation, which for centuries the Christian
tradition has undertaken, represents visually the invisible mystery of God who becomes
incarnate in history, is revealed, and saves.
The images of the Mysteries of the Rosary begin a path of study and prayer, as the
essential contents of the faith are presented in words and embellished with beautiful fullcolor art. Ave Maria offers a guide to praying and meditating the rosary.
“Images of Mysteries of the Rosary begin this path of emotion, study and prayer,
because the exciting vision we can move to the knowledge of the essential contents of the faith and then pronounce—first with the head and the heart, then with
words—the prayers that the age-old tradition has given us, and that the Church,
Mother and Teacher, still invites you to recite.”

Peter Fleming
Would I Like Jesus?
A Casual Walk through the Life of Jesus
This book is not an exercise in either theology or historiography. It’s
more an exploration of simple affection and/or repulsion. The book
seeks to find out, by looking at one account of Jesus—the Gospel of
Matthew—whether we can like him. If Jesus is actually God, then our emotional reaction to him, as
opposed to our intellectual response, becomes tremendously important: would we like God if we met
him, heard him speak, and saw him in action? Would Jesus’ teachings and his personality move me
to affection for him, so much so that I would change the priorities of my life? Would I like what he
has to say? Would I like him?
Peter Fleming is an author and a playwright, and has taught has studies of religion to young adults
for the past thirteen years. He resides in Ryde, NSW, Australia.

Opening the Door of Faith
Encountering Jesus and His Call
to Discipleship
When Pope Benedict XVI called for a “Year of Faith,” he explicitly called
for a study of Vatican II documents and the Catechism. This book
strives to bring forth another source for study and reflection on the issue of faith, the five major
voices of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. The recent encyclical on faith,
Lumen Fidei, speaks of the relational aspect of faith. That is, faith is primarily a response to God’s
love revealed through Jesus. It thus entails relationship with Christ and with the Church that is his
body. This book lays out four dimensions of the life of faith from each of the five major voices. It
includes study and reflection questions at the end of each chapter.
Thomas D. Stegman, SJ, who holds a PhD in New Testament Studies from Emory University, is

Listen Here
Seven Steps to an Enduring
Relationship with God
"God is listening. What are we saying?" With these words Megan
McKenna begins this inspiring, accessible, and practical guide to finding and building the spiritual connection that brings God's love into our life and our world. She is
not primarily focused on praying to God but on creating a long enduring, deepening relationship
with God—that we are listened to, as a people, as one voice. Individual voices are all there, but what
do we sound like, as one voice crying out since in our humanness we are all one, wanting not only
God to hear and listen to us—to attend to us, but we want everyone else to hear and listen to us as
well? This book is for everyone, anyone who seeks to hear, to listen, and to become more human,
in the image of the one who is listening to us all. And it asks: What are we saying? And then it
probes deeper still: "Are we listening back?"
Megan McKenna is an internationally known author, theologian, storyteller, and lecturer. She
teaches at several colleges and universities and organizes retreats, workshops, and parish missions. She has authored more than forty books, including Angels Unawares.

Jim Clarke
Soul-Centered
Spirituality for People on the Go
Unlike many works on spirituality, this engaging and user-friendly
book is specifically aimed at the busy lay person. It underlines the idea
that spirituality is not exotic, something for the few, but that it is in
ordinary things and daily life that we can find intimacy with God.
“Spirituality,” says the author, popular speaker and retreat master Fr. Jim Clarke, “is a developmental process. It is the art of making connections, seeing the divine in the human, and claiming it
for ourselves. Every day we become more human, or less human, depending upon our ability to
reflect on our experiences….One of the signs of a healthy spirituality is that it offers a cohesive
worldview: there is a place for everything and everyone—no exclusivism. All the parts fit together—
tragedy and glory, suffering and joy—and everything in between. All the pieces play a part, but not
necessarily equally.”
Each chapter offers simple questions to stimulate the thought process in developing or integrating the different components of a vital or transformative spirituality. Specific prayer forms and
spiritual practices from a variety of spiritual traditions are suggested to assist in creating a framework for attending to a personal interior life.
Father Jim Clarke is director of spiritual formation and assistant professor of spiritual theology at
St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, California. A popular speaker and retreat master, he is a frequent
speaker at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress.

The Earliest Franciscans
The Legacy of Giles of Assisi, Roger of

Classics of Western Spirituality Series
Much to Francis’s dismay, his early mendicant movement was marred by conflict between the “Spirituals,” with their radical interpretation of extreme poverty, and those of a more liberal bent. This volume focuses on three main figures among the Spirituals, contemporaries of Francis: Giles of Assisi,
Roger of Provence, and James of Milan, presenting a selection of their writings and bringing them
vividly to life with insightful commentaries on their lives, works, and influence.
The late Paul Lachance, OFM, earned his doctorate at the Antonianum University of Rome with
a dissertation on Angela of Foligno, on whom he wrote many articles and books. He taught Franciscan spirituality and mysticism at the Chicago Theological Union.

Faith, Hope, and Charity
Pope Benedict XVI on the Theological Virtues
Pope Benedict’s approach to encyclicals is different from that
of his predecessor Pope John Paul II. He is more inclusive in
his sources, drawing on non-Christian authors, philosophers, and novelists among them,
as well as more traditional works. His encyclicals also differ from his typical theological
works; they are more pastoral, at times even conversational, inviting the reader into the
mystery of the three theological virtues that frame and inform the Christian life. Deus
caritas est explores a God who is both reason (logos) and love, and who loves us passionately, reclaiming eros as a descriptor of God’s love. Spe salvi examines the relation
between faith and hope, arguing that without faith and its vision of God’s justice, hope too
easily substitutes a secular idea of progress that often leads to atheism.
Lumen fidei, drafted for his successor, Pope Francis, focuses on faith as a light flowing
from a personal relationship with God. The book notes how the three encyclicals were
received and concludes with reflections on Pope Benedict’s theological legacy.

Contrary to Popular
Assumption, the Trinity
Is a Simple Doctrine
Stephen Bullivant
The Trinity
How Not to Be a Heretic
"Trinity" is Christianity's most basic description of who God actually is—and who he needs
to be in order to save us. It is at the very heart of what Christians believe, and very little
else in Christianity makes sense without it. Despite this, a great many Christians, including significant numbers of teachers, catechists, and preachers, do not feel confident in
talking about it. It is not that they don't believe in the Trinity, because they certainly do. But
they are not altogether sure that what they think they believe about it is what they are
"supposed" to, and they fear both revealing their ignorance, and leading others astray.
The central idea of this book is that, contrary to popular assumption, the Trinity is a
very simple doctrine. It consists of just three short, deeply scriptural convictions: i) There
is only one God; ii) Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all God; and iii) Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit are not the same. The Trinity: How Not to Be a Heretic explains how the earliest Christians came to be convinced by each statement, why they matter, and how—slowly, over a
period of several centuries—it found a way of saying all three at once. Its sole purpose is

Greatest Doctor of
Holy Scripture
Translated and with an Introduction
by Thomas P. Scheck
St. Jerome
Commentary on Isaiah; Origen:
Homilies 1–9 on Isaiah
Ancient Christian Writers series No. 68
Jerome is best known as the translator of the Latin Vulgate Bible. In medieval times, Jerome
was declared to be one of the four great Doctors of the Latin church. The Council of Trent
spoke of him as “the greatest doctor in the explanation of Holy Scripture.” Jerome’s Commentary on Isaiah is his longest extant work and considered by many to be his magnum
opus. Scheck has offered the English speaking world the first translation of this work. The
work is heavily indebted to the Greek exegetical tradition, especially Origen.
Thomas P. Scheck holds a PhD from the University of Iowa. He is assistant professor of
theology and classics at Ave Maria University and has previously published Origen’s Homilies on Ezekiel (ACW 62) with Paulist Press.
Developed by a team headed by Peter A. Pettit and Marcie Lenk
Images of Israel
This six-part adult study program empowers groups of Christians to have a robust experience in
learning about Israel in its complexity, while bringing Christian theology and values into the conversation.
"Images of Israel" envisions a different basis on which Christians can engage with fellow Christians, the Jewish community, and Israel. In place of crisis, this course identifies and articulates principles of national and communal identity that are applicable to all peoples, as well as values drawn
from the wellsprings of our respective religious traditions. On that basis, participants can build a
clearer and more thorough image with which to engage with Israel and its complexity.
The video lecture series includes a Participant book, a Leader Guide, in PDF form, and 14 videos
that include interviews and presentations: *A Walk on the Via Dolorosa; *Intersecting Holiness at the
Temple Mount; and *Interviews with Israeli and Palestinian; Jewish, Muslim, and Christian leaders.
4 full-color maps are included. / $60 net / NCR799
The Rev. Dr. Peter A. Pettit is director of the Institute for Jewish-Christian Understanding and
associate professor of religious studies at Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA.
Dr. Marcie Lenk is Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.

Michele Saracino
Christian Anthropology
An Introduction to the Human Person
Vatican II ushered in a new outlook on living as Catholic Christians in a global world. This book is a student-friendly textbook
on what it means to be human in light of our changing world and church. Each chapter
will emphasize one particular aspect of human existence, exegeting the relevant biblical
texts, classical and contemporary doctrines, and challenges to living these teachings in
the twenty-first century. The book is divided into fourteen chapters, correlating with a typical length of a semester. Course instructors can shape their syllabi around this structure,
perhaps dividing the week between lecture, discussion, and exercises, the latter of which
will be outlined at the end of each chapter. This exploration of theological anthropology
invites students from all levels, including undergraduate, seminary students, and engaged
believers, into the conversation.
Michele Saracino is associate professor of religious studies at Manhattan College. She
holds a PhD from Marquette University. She is an active member of the Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA), the American Academy of Religion (AAR), the College
Theology Society (CTS), the Constructive Theology Workgroup, and the New Voices Seminar.

George Augustin
Called to Joy
Celebrating Priesthood
In this book, Fr. George Augustin offers encouragement to
priests, based on his own theological reflection, personal experience in parish ministry, and work giving retreats and conferences to fellow priests. Years
of uncertainty and scandal have caused some priests to question their own vocations. In
Called to Joy he invites priests to look at their vocation from a new perspective. In these
challenging times, there is much more cause for joy and encouragement than is commonly thought.
Rev. George Augustin, SAC, is professor of fundamental theology and dogmatics at the
Philosophisch-Theologischen Hochschule Vallendar in Germany, and is the founding director of the Cardinal Walter Kasper Institute for Ecumenism, Theology, and Spirituality.

Albert Vanhoye, SJ
The Letter to the Hebrews
A New Commentary
Written for professors and advanced graduate students in New Testament studies, The Letter to the Hebrews: A New Commentary
exegetes the entire letter verse by verse, paying attention to relevant
issues for theology and spiritual life. Most remarkably, it explains why this “letter” is really a homily
written by a preacher who must have delivered it several times in different places, and it offers an
eloquent interpretation of the Letter to the Hebrews as a Christological hymn celebrating the priesthood of Christ.
HIGHLIGHTS:
— A thorough commentary
— Written by the most renowned scholar
— On one of the favorite and yet most
—It’s not a “letter” at all — it’s a homily.

Albert Vanhoye, SJ, one of the most recognized scholars on the Letter to the Hebrews, earned his
doctorate in biblical studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. He taught New Testament
exegesis many years at the Biblical Institute, where he was also rector. Dr. Vanhoye was named a
cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006.

Seven Pillars of
Servant Leadership
Practicing the Wisdom of Leading by
Serving; Revised & Expanded Edition
Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership trains readers in how to evolve and implement the competencies
and behaviors of servant leadership using pointed questions, stories, exercises, case studies, and
research-based activities that the authors have field-tested with numerous leaders in the public
and private sectors.
Seven Pillars goes beyond developing individual skills, however. Each chapter includes stories of
how servant-led companies have integrated specific servant leadership principles and skills into corporate cultures and policies. The final chapter offers updated strategies and examples so that readers can begin implementing servant leadership in their own organizations. The book includes
questions that are ideal for small groups, that reflect the findings of twenty years of research on the
changes of human behavior that takes place in individuals and organizations.
Don M. Frick, PhD, is a university professor, writer, speaker, consultant, and media producer.
James W. Sipe, PhD, is a senior consultant and team leader with Personnel Decisions International,
