An investigation on ancient sources (patristic and liturgical) on the Cross and the Eucharist that sheds light on contemporary discussions.
The Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces
The Mariology of the 20th century got a decisive stimulus by the movement for the dogmatic definition of Mary’s social function as “Mediatrix of all Graces.” Gloria Falcão Dodd gives a synthetic, historical overview of the development from 1896 until the proclamation of the Marian chapter of “Lumen gentium” in 1964. She also analyzes the theological arguments for and against the dogmatic definition. Her very useful work is indispensable for anyone who wants to receive the most recent basic information about the most disputed topic of modern Mariology. - Rev. Dr. Manfred Hauke
Mariology: A Guide for Priests, Deacons, Seminarians and Consecrated Persons
Some of the best minds in Mariology today have collaborated to produce this monumental anthology in honor of Our Lady and in complete fidelity to the Magisterium. Buy this book and make a present of it to your parish priest, the religious sister you know, the seminarian from your diocese, or the consecrated person or educated layperson at your parish. It’s a Mariological “must read,” especially for our priests and seminarians. –Dr. Scott Hahn Author and Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville
A Living Sacrifice: Liturgy and Eschatology in Joseph Ratzinger
A Living Sacrifice focuses on the inherent relationship between eschatology and the liturgy in light of Ratzinger’s insistence upon the primacy of logos over ethos. When logos is subordinated to ethos, the human person becomes subjected to a materialist ontology that leads to an ethos that is concerned above all by utility and progress, which affects one’s approach to understanding the liturgy and eschatology. How a person celebrates the liturgy becomes subject to the individual whim of one person or a group of people. Eschatology is reduced to addressing the temporal needs of a society guided by a narrow conception of hope or political theology. If the human person wants to understand h...
The Pentecostal Gender Paradox
The distinct subjects of eschatology and gender equality have seen an explosion of interest in recent decades, particularly within Pentecostal scholarship. Pentecostalism is regarded ideally as both an eschatological and egalitarian movement. However, many Pentecostals have lamented the inconsistency between the early egalitarian impulse of the movement and its current restrictive practices. This situation has been described as the so-called Pentecostal “gender paradox,” referring to the conflicting freedoms and limitations experienced by Pentecostal women. Pentecostals have also recognized the waning eschatological fervor within the movement and its shifting eschatological convictions, ...

DesmitificacióN de Dogmas y Devociones CatóLicos en Cien añOs de Soledad
Se podría pensar que vincular la obra maestra Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez con cuestiones teológicas sería una locura. Sin embargo, en la novela del colombiano -como lo señalara Joaquín Marco en su Estudio introductorio a Cien años de soledad- "Aparecen abundantes elementos religiosos propios de la liturgia católica" que sugieren que no se trata de una simple casualidad; al contrario, todo parece que dichas referencias se dan con toda intención. En el presente trabajo, Ernesto García Uranga toma su lupa y emprende una búsqueda de las referencias a dogmas y devociones católicos presentes en Cien años de soledad. Usando como aval a la Teología histórica para ...
Akan Rites of Passage and Their Reception Into Christianity
This academic research grapples with the question of the reception of Christianity into a culture and vice versa. It undertakes a systematic theological and anthropological survey of the indigenous rites of transition of the Akans of the Sub-Saharan Africa in relation to the Christian rites of transition or the Christian sacraments. It takes into account the importance of the various cultures from which the Christian sacraments developed and compares these cultures to the Akan culture. The writer concludes that culture cannot be disowned in the evangelization of peoples because culture defines human existence in its totality. Since nobody exists outside of a socio-cultural context, the word of God cannot but find interpretation in a culture if it is to make an impact on peoples. The word of God and cultures are not antithetical, they complement each other. The researcher is of the view that Christian theology cannot but identify itself with cultures in order to eschew exclusivism, inclusivism and absolutism.
