A Woman Reads the Gospel of Luke is a woman's view of possible ways of reading the Gospel of Luke.

The Collegeville Pastoral Dictionary of Biblical Theology
Carroll Stuhlmueller, C.P., Editor
1,184 pp., Hardcover, PhP 3,000
The Collegeville Pastoral Dictionary of Biblical Theology distills the best of biblical scholarship and pastoral theology and presents it in clear and concise articles for the use of those in ministry. The dictionary is primarily (although not exclusively) pastoral, bringing to priests, religious, teachers, and educated laity a deeper understanding of the Bible and its central place in the life of the Church.
Catholics read the biblical Word in the context of the Church's ongoing life and teaching. The Church, under the guidance of the Spirit, helps ensure that the biblical message is authentically interpreted and understood. At the same time, the Bible both nourishes and challenges the Church to be receptive to its message and guided by it. Thus Scripture and theology are bound together; it is their joint message that must be put into pastoral practice. This dictionary has been created to help chart that course.
Four types of articles comprise the dictionary: introductory articles, major articles, secondary articles, and brief entries.
• Introductory articles head the dictionary and introduce readers to key background issues.
• Major articles cover topics with multiple and distinct components, written by scholars who specialize in those areas. They explore not only biblical meanings but also the influence of major biblical ideas on the Church's pastoral and liturgical practices.
• Secondary articles are shorter and cover either biblically or pastorally important topics.
• Brief entries round out the information offered in this one-volume compendium of biblical, theological, and pastoral thought.
A chart of biblical history and a map of biblical lands are printed on the inside covers of the volume. With more than 500 insightful and instructive entries, this practical pastoral dictionary will be the one resource you'll need for preaching and liturgy preparation, classroom teaching and learning, and Bible study and reflection.

SACRA PAGINA:
A Commentary on the books of the New Testament
Daniel J. Harrington, S.J., Editor
Sacra Pagina is a multi-volume commentary on the books of the New Testament.
The expression "Sacra Pagina" ("Sacred Page") originally referred to the text of Scripture. In the Middle Ages it also described the study of Scripture to which the interpreter brought the tools of grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, and philosophy.
This series presents fresh translations and modern expositions
of all the books of the New Testament. Written by an international team
of Catholic biblical scholars, it is intended for biblical professionals,
graduate students, theologians, clergy, and religious educators. The volumes
present basic introductory information and close exposition, with each
author adopting a specific methodology while maintaining a focus on the
issues raised by the New Testament compositions themselves.
The goal of Sacra Pagina is to provide sound, critical analysis
without any loss of sensitivity to religious meaning. This series is therefore
catholic in two senses of the word: inclusive in its methods and perspectives,
and shaped by the context of the Catholic tradition. The Second Vatican
Council described the study of "the sacred page" as the "very
soul of sacred theology" (Dei Verbum 24). The volumes in this series
illustrate how Catholic scholars contribute to the council's call to provide
access to Sacred Scripture for all the Christian faithful. Rather than
pretending to say the final word on any text, these volumes seek to open
up the riches of the New Testament and to invite as many people as possible
to study seriously the "sacred page."

Where
Bible and Life Connect
Reflections of a Spiritual Director
Lester Bach, O.F.M.Cap.
256 pp., PhP 189
Anyone seeking to unite the Living Word with the living world will be enlightened and satisfied-and also confused, and even surprised-by these reflections, for it is the author's goal to challenge readers to a life lived in the light of the Bible. Chapters touch on everything from the search for truth to the desire for hope; from human sexuality to the sacred signs of the sacraments; from self-contemplation to evangelization. Questions for personal and/or community reflection are part of each chapter.
The Women in the Life of the Bridegroom
A Feminist Historical-Literary Analysis of the Female Characters in
the Fourth Gospel
Adeline Fehribach, S.C.N.
232 pp., PhP 249
Women in the Fourth Gospel appear at significant moments in the life of Jesus and seem to move his ministry forward. Certain passages in the stories involving women, however, tend to marginalize these women. How are readers to reconcile such divergent characterizations of women in the Fourth Gospel?
Unlike most works that approach the topic of women in the Fourth Gospel from a historical-critical perspective, The Women in the Life of the Bridegroom visits it from a historical-literary perspective, illustrating how a first-century reader would have understood the characterizations of the women.

Psalms in Inclusive Language
by
Joseph Arackal
216 pp. PhP 229
For this rendering of the Psalms into inclusive language both the meaning
of the original text and the integrity of the English language were carefully
preserved. Accuracy, poetry, and inclusiveness all factored significantly
in the author's work. The result is a translation capturing the beauty
and power of these prayers that belong to all members of the Church.
