Passion Of Jesus In The Gospel Of Matthew
$24.95The Word of the cross is a living word, crying out for reinterpretation as life takes new shape and expression. Reinterpreting the Gospel was particularly compelling for Matthew’s church because his Christians lived in a time of profound transition. The Passion of Jesus, then, was not simply a story of suffering out of the past but a point of identification for the Christians of Matthew’s own time.
For us twentieth-century Christians, who also know the peculiar suffering and hope of living in an age that is both dying and being born, the Passion of Jesus according to Matthew has special meaning.

Art Of Choosing
$15.00“Never am I more “I” than when I stand serene, survey the field, weigh my choices, set my face in one direction, and advance with firm step and joyful heart. To know what I want to do and do it is the essence of life.”
Our decisions — from the most mundance of day-to-day living to those fork-in-the-road choices of great consequence — chart the course of our existence. How can we make decisions carefully and thoughfully, so as to live more deliberately meaningful — and happier — lives? Carlos G. Valles, author of “Mastering Sadhana: On Retreat with Anthony de Mello,” here explores the process of discernment and decision-making. Using scripture, insights from Ignatian spirituality, and contemporary examples, the author illustrates the how and why of making choices and living comfortably with their consequences, whether they be positive or negative. “If my life is my choices,” he writes, “I want my choices to be the best they can be. I want to master the art of choosing.”

40 Days Plus Three
$19.95This book invites us to ponder the consistency between what we say we believe about human dignity and how we live that dignity. Who we say Christ is, is one thing; who we say we are may be quite another. If Lent becomes a daily journey whereby we consent to become one with the visible features of Christ’s risen life, waiting to be raised from the dyings of our lives, then the paschal mystery becomes a marvelous experience.

Targum Jonathan Of The Former Prophets
$99.95The attribution, by the Babylonian Talmud, of this Targum to Jonathan ben Uzziel is suspect on several counts: among others, the silence concerning Jonathan in the parallel passage in the Palestinian Talmud, and the fanciful suggestion that Onkelos=Aquila and Jonathan=Theodotion. The attribution, therefore, is not to be taken as historical fact. The Talmud may have been attempting to enhance the authority of the Targum by claiming authorship by a disciple of Hillel, which Jonathan was.
It is generally agreed that the author of the Targum Jonathan is unknown; in fact, it is preferable to consider multiple authorship. For while language and translation techniques are uniform, there is variety from book to book.

Targum Of Ezekial
$99.95The Targum of Ezekiel, when critically analyzed, offers a vivid insight into an area of Jewish theological speculation stretching far back into the history of Jewish religious thought. The complexity of the document, however, compounded by a difficult Mosoretic text, abundant grammatical and syntactical problems, and an infusion of strange language and linguistic peculiarities, challenges the most incisive biblical analysts. Like the Book of Ezekiel, it poses literary, exegetical, and theological problems.
The Targum belongs to the same genre as the other official Targumim, designated in Jewish Tradition as Onqelos on the Pentateuch and Jonathan on the Prophets. Its language, basically Palestinian Aramaic, was revised and edited in Babylon; its vocabulary, idiom, grammatical form, and rendering of the Hebrew text are essentially the same as we find in the official Targumim on the other books. But beyond this, the Targum of Ezekiel has some peculiarities distinctly its own.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Targum Of Jeremiah
$99.95This Targum offers to the reader Jeremiah’s words among the Jewish people. Perhaps more than any other prophet, he communicates the majesty and excellence of the God of Israel, presenting the mysterious history, compounded of glory and tragedy, of his Chosen People. Here we have one of the most moving interpretations of one of the great figures of the ancient world.
The longest biblical book in the original Hebrew, Jeremiah became longer still in its translation into Aramaic because the translator(s), in trying to convey the precise meaning, often offered more than one translation of a word or phrase. The sheer length may account for the fact that, until now, it has never been translated into English.

On Liturgical Theology
$29.95Nearly everything that theologians write on liturgy, Father Kavanagh notes, is often called liturgical theology, although on closer examination such works appear to be either dogmatic theologies about the liturgy or systematic theologies making use of liturgical data. None truly reflects how liturgy shapes theology or is theology or even relates to theology.
This work is Father Kavanagh’s effort to substantiate the existence of a truly liturgical theology. It will raise almost as many questions as it answers; but it will also further insight into theology and liturgy as it assays their relationship.

West African Christianity
$34.00In this fascinating re-evaluation of Christian history West African Christianity concentrates on the role of Africans as the principal agents of, and the significance of African materials in, the spread of Christianity from its earliest centuries. When examining Christianity in Africa other studies focus mainly on the organization of the missionary effort in Europe and America, seeing the rise of African Christianity as a direct consequence of external developments. Still others view Christianity as chiefly the unwitting begetter of nationalist reaction.
In contrast to both of these approaches Dr. Sanneh analyzed the Christian religious theme by linking it to local religious responses and attitudes. He pays particular attention to the adaptation of religion in African societies and to parallels and exigencies in local traditions, with the Western missionary theme considered in the light of indigenous initiatives. He reviews developments in New Testament times and early Christianity in Egypt and North Africa, as well as paying special attention to the phenomenon of African Christian Independency.
West African Christianity concludes with an examination of both Christianity and Islam in their African manifestation, demonstrating how “the African factor” emerges as a major category of transformation: preceding in importance “this missionary factor.”
