    The Word within the Words

    Malcolm Guite (Author)

  • The Primacy of Love

    The Primacy of Love

    Ilia Delio (Author)

    In an age of anxiety where reason is deified, what is the role of love? From the cosmological to the theological dimensions of existence, love is the irresistible force of attraction to the heart of God. The book is divided based on a metaphysics of love: we are born out of divine love, exist in love, and are oriented toward love.

  • The Corner of Fourth and Nondual

    The Corner of Fourth and Nondual

    Cynthia Bourgeault (Author)

    Cynthia Bourgeault describes the foundations of her theology: a cosmological seeing with the eye of the heart, Benedictine daily rule informed by wisdom from the Asian traditions. She explains the influence of philosophers built on the cornerstones of the Incarnation and the Paschal Mystery, tied by the Trinity as a cosmogonic principle.

  • Spectres of God

    Spectres of God

    Rachel Mann (Author)

    Rachel Mann explains how in our encounters with "the spectres of God," one can have peace with limitation, precariousness, and lack of certainty and still find in divine fragility the hope of the world. Drawing on her experience, Mann explores how God invites us to live in a three-dimensional mystery that subverts the depressing realities of life.

    Duppy Conqueror

    Robert Beckford (Author)

    Spirit Life

    Grace Ji-Sun Kim (Author)

    As an Asian-American theologian existing in multiple cultural spheres, Grace Ji-Sun Kim works to disseminate Asian words and religious symbols into mainstream discourse so that we can move toward a nondualistic theology that provides space for the marginalized and the subordinated, paving a path toward liberation and radical demarginalization.

  • The Audacity of Peace

    The Audacity of Peace

    Scot McKnight (Author)

    Scot McKnight sketches a peace ethic that embodies the self-denial of Jesus to the point of the cross and then vindicated by God. Through God's grace and the indwelling Spirit, the participant in the way of Jesus is transformed. A peace ethic is a lived theology whose discerning witness transcends the specific principles and ideas of that theology.

  • An Evolving God, An Evolving Purpose, An Evolving World

    An Evolving God, An Evolving Purpose, An Evolving World

    Joan Chittister (Author)

    Modernity must be able to absorb the notion of a cosmic and evolving God. The old notions of who is in charge, who is superior and whose theology is paramount is in a state of flux. Unless, or until, a new vision comes into play, directs our hearts, guides our business, underlies our technology, the world is not ready for the horizon of Newness.
