Old
Testament Introduction This book stands within a tradition but at the
same time represents a break with it. It has a precursor in Johannes Meinhold's
Einfuhrung in das Alte Testament (1919,1932), but Meinhold's book was
structured in accordance with historical considerations, whereas the presentation
given here largely follows the order of the Old Testament books them.

Papabile
The Man Who Would Be Pope: A Novel
Hugo Ovath wants to be a hero. Coming of age in Eastern Europe after World War II, he offers his youthful idealism and enthusiasm to the Communist Party, whose vision of a better future dazzles him. Agreeing to help infiltrate the Catholic Church, he becomes a priest and eventually a cardinal vitally involved in negotiations between the church and the new Communist government. But his conscience now troubles him. He cannot believe in God but begins to question the party. For he realizes that his utopian dreams have led him to hurt those he loves the most: his parents; his brother, Ferenc; his best friend, Jeno; his onetime lover Eva; and his mentor, Ladislaus. His idealism fades, and when the party, deciding he is no longer an asset, requests him to publicly leave the Church, he defects to Rome. It is not until Hugo is elected pope, however, that he confronts his guilt. Farrell offers a wry, ironic, and unnerving portrayal of the complex political and religious conflicts that helped shape postwar Eastern Europe.
Papal
Primacy and the Episcopate
Michael Buckley argues that a theology of papal primacy, as opposed to an ideology, must focus on its nature as a unique relationship whose term or purpose is the unity of bishops among themselves and through them the unity of the entire Church.
Founded upon the sacramental life of the Church, upon the specification to the see of Rome, and upon its exercise of a truly Episcopal ministry, papal primacy is successful to the degree that is strengthens the bishops in their vital communion with one another and in their collegial service to the communion with one another and in their collegial service to the communion of the whole people of God.
The author suggests that the papal could exercise
this mission more effectively today if it led the Church to restore such
ancient canons as those that gave a decisive voice to the local church
in the choice of its bishop and forbade the translation of bishops from
one see to another.
Parables
and the Enneagram No matter what your personality type, Jesus' parables can help you be awake and aware of your special challenges and unique gifts.

Passion
for Peace
The Social Essays
This comprehensive volume contains Thomas Merton's principal writings on non-violence, war, and racism. Much of what he wrote between 1961 and 1968 is prophetic and speaks penetratingly to our time. Wars and rumors of war are still with us. Justice and love remain a dream. In most of these articles, it's as if Merton is actually writing in the 1990s. He is speaking to us - reminding us of the essential oneness that roots the equal dignity of all peoples. Merton's writings on social issues flowed from a deep contemplative vision. Editor William Shannon puts each essay in context and reveals how this vision developed. We see a side of Merton's character that does not come through in his other books: his passion for peace and the ardor with which he pleaded for it in a world where people so desperately yearn for it. Passion for Peace is a book of testament, vision, and hope.
