The Heavens Are Telling the Glory of God
2023 Catholic Media Association First Place Award, Faith and Science Building on the work of Teilhard de Chardin, the New Cosmology integrates scientific facts and theories, including discoveries about the expanding universe and evolution, and proposes that creation is developing into greater complexity. But how are we to understand concepts like “original sin” and “redemption” if creation isn’t complete and humanity is still in process? How does one “retrofit” religious tradition and Scripture into this scenario? Is there room for the historical Jesus in the New Cosmology? While a ready concern for all Christians, this question has unique implications for women religious whose...
Priesthood in Religious Life
This is the first book in English on priesthood in religious life to be published in twenty years. Its fourteen contributors search for new ways forward in the understanding of the distinct identity and ministry of religious men—committed to community, the prophetic lifestyle of vows or promises, and the particular charisms of their congregations—who have also answered the call to priesthood. Essays in this collection include reflections from a bishop, from the perspective of a lay theologian, from an expert in the social sciences, and on Pope Francis’s teachings on priesthood. Included as well are essays that are rooted in particular cultural traditions, in spirituality, and in canon law.
Reproductive Justice and the Catholic Church
Pregnancy loss is profoundly complex, ambiguous, and alienating, but telling women who have procured abortions that they are murderers and sinners is not the best way forward. Magisterial teachings on abortion are too often presented as moral absolutes, when in fact moral absolutism distorts the rich wisdom of the Catholic intellectual tradition. This book initiates a new conversation about women’s experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion, arguing that we need not approach these difficult life experiences in a simplistic way. Dr. Reimer-Barry argues that both the pro-life and pro-choice movements make important and valuable claims, yet each approach on its own is flawed. Drawin...

Social Analysis for the 21st Century
A revision of Social Analysis: Linking Faith and Justice (Holland/Henriot, 1983), an Orbis classic that has sold over 40,000 copies, this book fills the ongoing need for the tools of social analysis and the "pastoral circle" approach of see/judge/act, but with updated language and areas of concern. Like its predecessor, it will be a valuable resource for seminaries, divinity schools, college classrooms, and immersion groups.The book presents the basic tools of social analysis before moving on to four specific case studies: the environment, immigration, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS. Reproducible worksheets (of the type used everywhere in Theological Reflection courses) will be included for group work.Includes a foreword by Peter Henriot, which will establish continuity with the classic Holland/Henriot text.

This book brings together God's call, the cries of the world and of the earth today, and charisms in consecrated life in a way that dynamically engages the vows, prayer, community, and ministry for the particular time and contexts in which we live. Here is a valuable theological and pastoral resource for the conversion, transformation, and revitalization needed in consecrated life today.
Comprometernos con la diversidad
El futuro de la vida religiosa internacional depende significativamente de la capacidad de cada comunidad de vivir interculturalmente. Aquellas que no lo logren se fragmentarán o morirán, afirma el académico Anthony J. Gittins. Conscientes de la importancia de la interculturalidad en la vida consagrada, el Centro de Estudios de la Vida Consagrada (CSCL) de la Unión Teológica Católica (CTU) de Chicago patrocinó un programa (2017-2020) en el cual veinte equipos centrales de congregaciones e institutos religiosos de varones y mujeres sirvieron como catalizadores y recursos para fomentar y desarrollar proyectos interculturales en las comunidades religiosas. Este libro se publica con el objeto de compartir los ricos frutos de ese programa.
