Mystical Way In Everyday Life
$24.00
Rahner was one of the 20th century’s most admired Catholic theologians; he was associated with the Nouvelle Theologie, which, though much criticized by Pope Pius XII, became one of the sources of reform that led to the development of Vatican II. This new collection of his writings is the first English translation in this country of a book that appeared in German as long ago as 1966, but it is a welcome addition to the Rahner catalog in English. Although mysticism is not perhaps the first word associated with Rahner, mysticism connects what Rahner saw as God’s self-giving and our need for the transcendent, as found in that God. Organized around the liturgical year, Rahner’s text includes sermons, prayers, and reflections. VERDICT A beautiful and concise introduction to the mind and spirituality of this crucial 20th-century Catholic theologian.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
