"For the last two thousand years, Christians have wondered about this question: Who killed Jesus? This new book is a tremendously helpful resource, drawing upon the work of some of the world's most learned experts, and will help you answer this essential ques- tion fully and finally." —James Martin, SJ author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage he Passion narratives contain painful anti- Semitic tropes—particularly the Gospel of John, T which is read in churches world-wide every Holy Week. These readings have been used overthe centuries to brand the Jewish people as “Christ-killers” and to justify discrimination and violence. Here, religious scholars and writers address the historical, theological, and exegetical considerations to be addressed by every Christian in order to move beyond a toxic history. Contributors include Walter Brueggemann, Mary Boys, Richard Lux, AVAILABLE Wes Howard-Brook, Massimo Faggioli, Bishop Richard J.

hough Pope Francis remains one of the most popular figures in the world, his pontificate has T stirred up powerful opposition. Some reject his openness to divorced and remarried Catholics and the priority he places on mercy above rigid doctrine. Others reject his outspoken defense of migrants, his critiques of capitalism, and his calls to protect the environment. Most of all, his critics fear his insistence that the Church must place living out the message of the Gospel with integrity ahead of serving and main- taining institutional power, secular or ecclesial. In this book, Christopher Lamb, The Tablet’sreporter in Rome, examines the Pope’s ministry and agenda for the church, as well as the forces of opposition mobilized against him. What will this mean and portend for the Catholic Church? Will Pope Francis move the church in the direction he wants, or will his critics succeed in thwarting his efforts?

lmost from the first arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619 until the end of the A antebellum period, a prophetic crusade to eliminate the sin of slavery stirred the American conscience. The abolitionists were deeply faithful Christians who believed that if anything was con- trary to the will of God, it was human bondage. Mocked, threatened, and abused, their influence was ultimately profound. Let Justice Be Done includes representative voices of the abolitionist cause—women and men, black and white. Among them are towering figures such as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Lucretia Mott. Their struggle against one of the greatest evils to blemish American history demonstrated that religious faith can and rightfully should be a powerful force in calling out injustice, speaking truth to power, and planting seeds of change.

Lee

his year marks the 40th anniversary of the death of St. Oscar Romero, the martyred archbishop T of San Salvador. In the three short years of his episcopal ministry he emerged as a courageous prophet, a voice for those who had no voice, and truly a saint for our time. His outspoken defense of the poor and his refusal to keep silent in the face of violent repression earned him powerful enemies. In making an option for the poor, he was prepared to face “the same fate as the poor.” Still, his witness and his theological message remain: a gift and a challenge to the church he loved. Nowhere is that theological and pastoral vision so clearly expressed as in the four pastoral letters he re- leased from 1977-1980. Along with the other docu- ments collected here, they represent one of the most powerful expressions of church teaching in our time: an application of the gospel to the challenges of his- tory, especially in situations marked by injustice, in- equality, and violence. These documents, sealed by FEBRUARY his own blood, are a timeless call to follow the Good News of Jesus, wherever it leads. 240pp., index, 6 x 9¼ $28 softcover ISBN 978-1-62698-362-5 RELIGION/Christian Theology/Liberation RELIGION/Christianity/Catholic RELIGION/Christian Living/Social Issues

noted expert on the papacy and Vatican II, Massimo Faggioli draws from world history, A politics, papal biographies, and the docu- ments of Vatican II for this incisive analysis of Francis’s developing pontificate. He notes that Francis’s is a “liminal” papacy, opening a new relationship between Catholicism and globalization: his papacy gives atten- tion to the poor, to the peripheries, and to relations between the Vatican and other religions, with an em- phasis on synodality and on the Church as the people of God. He also contrasts Francis with his immediate prede- cessors Benedict XVI and John Paul II, and shows his similarities with the spirit of John XXIII, the architect of Vatican II. Massimo Faggioli is professor of theology and religious studies at Villanova University and a contributing writer to Commonweal magazine. His recent publica- tions include Pope Francis: Tradition in Transition and The Rising Laity: Ecclesial Movements Since Vatican II (both Paulist). MARCH

Gushee and Reggie L. Williams, editors

“A true intellectual feast and a step forward for the discipline of Christian ethics. The reader will not discover mere endorsements of the man or his ideas, but they will find a doz- en scholars advancing the conversation about those ideas in ways that we think matter very much today.” —From the Introduction hese original essays by a diverse group of Christian thinkers present a rich and broad engagement T with Glen Stassen’s concept of “incarnational discipleship”—a major contribution to the discipline of Christian ethics outlined in his final book,A Thicker Jesus (2012). Stassen believed that his approach could strengthen faithfulness to Jesus Christ in the church and foster a stronger public witness in American society. Exploring the term “incarnational discipleship” and its relevance for today are Lisa Sowle Cahill, Jacob Alan Cook, Miguel A.

“Faith is an encounter with Jesus, and we must do what Jesus does: encounter others.” —Pope Francis resented here is an ethical framework to build what Pope Francis calls the “culture of P encounter” to heal social divisions and unjust inequalities. The book serves as a creative and con- structive proposal for what it would take to build such a culture in an American context marked by rising individualism, racial tensions, class segregation, hyperpartisanship, and online echo chambers. In particular, the work of well-known Jesuit Father Greg Boyle (Tattoos on the Heart) and his efforts with gangs in Southern California provide a case study for overcoming fear, hatred, and trauma in order to prac- tice Christian neighbor love that seeks solidarity.

s a scientist and Catholic, Glenn Sauer brings a unique perspective to several of the deeper A issues connected to the sometimes oppos- ing fields of science and religion. Drawing from the four-fold typology of Ian Barbour, the founder of the modern field of science and religion, the author introduces some of the ideas and common miscon- ceptions regarding the interface of science and religion. He also incorporates the life and writings of Teilhard de Chardin as a model for integrating scientific knowledge and religious faith in one’s life, and delves into the sci- entific evidence for the Big Bang and the multiverse, the origins of life, evolution, and the history of life leading to the emergence of humankind. Each of these areas is explored in terms of scientific evidence and theory as well as their religious implications. Glenn Sauer is an endowed chair of biology and bio- chemistry and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University, CT, as well as a spiritual director in the university’s Center for Igna- JUNE tian Spirituality.

Cort With a New Introduction by Gary Dorrien

Praise for the original edition: “A rich survey of a profound but hidden tradi- tion.” —Michael Harrington author, The Other America nce again in America the banner of socialism has been raised—for some, an aspirational O agenda, while for others a terrifying specter.

Cort explores these questions to provide readers with an historical and sociological understanding. Reissued with a new introduction by Gary Dorrien, Christian Socialism traces the socialist idea to its biblical roots up through the twentieth century, with fascinating profiles of the ideas, events, and person- alities that have shaped and continue to shape the Christian socialist movement.
