    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    Western Monastic Spirituality presents three authors as individuals, certainly, but also as textual informants who, like road markers, represent a line of the development of a Western monastic spiritual tradition. John Cassian (ca. 360–435) helped bring the wisdom of northern Egyptian ascetical life of the late fourth century to southern France in the early fifth century. Caesarius of Arles (468 ... Read more

    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    This volume directs attention to the teaching of Jesus; it introduces the question of how the imagination has to work in order to retrieve the teaching of Jesus and apply it to actual life in our day. Teachers and preachers are engaged in this work all the time, but upon examination it involves a process that bears reflection. We live in a world that is so different from the world in which Jesus ... Read more

    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    Clement of Alexandria represents Christianity at the end of the second and early in the third century. He reminds us of the pervasiveness of Greek culture at the time of Jesus that accompanied Roman imperium in the East.

  • Finding God in a World Come of Age

    Karl Rahner and Johann Baptist Metz

    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    During his days in prison in Berlin, Dietrich Bonhoeffer had time to read and reflect on the Enlightenment and to ask the question of how Christians might live in a world come of age. One can interpret Karl Rahner’s theological and pastoral writing as addressing that question. Born in 1904, he lived through both World Wars to a ripe age of 80 and wrote 1651 published works. Although his writing ... Read more

    Spirituality in Martin Luther

    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    Martin Luther (1483–1546) is a classic Christian author who spearheaded the Reformation and whose witness has relevance for life in the present-day world. Grace and Gratitude presents two texts that represent his spirituality. Because Luther wrote so much in so many different genres, the choice of only two texts provides a limited taste of his spirituality. But they open up a specific, central, ... Read more

    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    This volume considers two authors who represent different but complementary responses to social injustice and human degradation.

    Catherine Keller and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    Two developments that occurred over the course of the nineteenth century had a strong impact on Christian theology. The first was a deepening of the implications of historical consciousness, and the second was the impact of science on Christian self-understanding.

  • On the Medieval Structure of Spirituality

    Thomas Aquinas

    Edited by Roger Haight S.J., Alfred Pach, Amanda Avila Kaminski ...
    Series series Past Light on Present Life: Theology, Ethics, and Spirituality
    If Thomas Aquinas was born in 1225, as is commonly thought, then he died before reaching the age of fifty after producing the single most influential systematic theology of the Western Christian tradition. He did this with a formula: He internalized the thought of Aristotle as it was being introduced into western Europe and translated into Latin, and he in turn “translated” Christianity into this ...

    Recently anthropology has turned to accounts of persons-in-history/history-in-persons, focusing on how individuals and groups as agents both fashion and are fashioned by social, political, and cultural discourses and practices. In this approach, power, agency, and history are made explicit as individuals and groups work to constitute themselves in relation to others and within and against ... Read more
