  • Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God

    Raniero Cantalamessa, Alan Neame

    Paperback (Liturgical Pr, Dec. 1, 1991)
    This work consists of a series of meditations on Christ. Of the various methods of approaching the person of Jesus, Father Cantalamessa has chosen the Christological dogmatic way, which, very early, the tradition of the Church developed by selecting and organizing the relevant biblical data. These are the fundamental truths concerning Christ as defined in the early ecumenical councils, most notably the Council of Chalcedon, and are summed up in three statements: Jesus Christ is true man, he is true God, he is one sole person. In his meditations Father Cantalamessa has approached the person of Christ by following this classic way of the Church. The meditations consist of six reflections: two are devoted to the humanity of Christ, two to his divinity, and two to his unity of person. The concluding chapter is a kind of excursus, which amounts to a critical evaluation of the theses recently advanced in certain so called "new Christologies," more particularly on the problem of the divinity of Christ.

  • The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture: The Word that Comes from God and Speaks of God for the Salvation of the World

    Pontifical Biblical Commission, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig MĂĽller

    Paperback (Liturgical Press, Nov. 7, 2014)
    In his 2009 post-synodal apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini, Pope Benedict XVI pointed out that “theological reflection has always considered inspiration and truth as two key concepts for an ecclesial hermeneutic of the sacred Scriptures” and that there is today the need “for a fuller and more adequate study of these realities, in order to better respond to the need of interpreting the sacred texts in accordance with their nature.” The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture: The Word That Comes from God and Speaks of God for the Salvation of the World is the contribution of the Pontifical Biblical Commission toward a more adequate understanding of the concepts of inspiration and truth that respects both the nature of the Bible and its significance for the life of the Church. Drawing on a close reading of the Scriptures themselves, the document focuses on three main aspects:1. The inspiration of Sacred Scripture and the exploration of its divine provenance2. The truth of the Word of God, emphasizing the message about God and his project of salvation3. Challenges that arise from the Bible itself, on account of certain aspects that seem inconsistent with its quality of being the Word of God Reading this document, formally approved by Pope Francis, will strengthen the reader to receive the word of God—in the liturgical assembly and in every other place—in its theological, Christological, soteriological, and ecclesiological context in a way that corresponds ever more closely to this unique gift of God whereby God communicates his very self and invites us into communion with him.

  • Corita Kent: Gentle Revolutionary of the Heart

    Rose Pacatte

    eBook (Liturgical Press, May 5, 2017)
    Corita Kent, an American nun and pop artist, led a life of creativity and love that took her in unexpected directions. In this engaging portrait, Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP, offers an in-depth look at Corita Kent, gentle revolutionary of the heart, letting the beauty and truth of her life and art speak for itself.Frances Elizabeth Kent’s rise to fame coincided with some of the most socially volatile years of the twentieth century. As Sr. Mary Corita of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters, she became a nationally-respected artist—though the Archbishop of her home city of Los Angeles regarded her work as blasphemous. Seeing no contradiction between the sacred and the secular, Corita designed the US Postal Service’s iconic “Love” stamp and created the largest copyrighted work of art in the world, on a gas tank for the Boston Gas Company. These examples and more exemplify the theology and point of view of one of the twentieth century’s most famous and fascinating artists.
