  Thoughts And Dreams Of An Old Theologian

  $28.00

  Leonardo Boff was one of the foundational voices of Latin American liberation theology. He went on to enlarge his perspective by integrating an option for the poor with an “option for the earth,” as well as drawing on insights from world religions, indigenous spirituality, the new cosmology, and feminist thought. This book, written from the perspective of his 80th birthday, overviews the principles themes of his work beginning with the role of dreams-the capacity to imagine alternatives-before returning to reflection on God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church, ecotheology, a “universal ethic for the common good,” and spirituality.

  Becoming New : Finding God Within Us And In Creation

  $20.00

  Two leading theological and spiritual writers, one from Germany and the other from Brazil, exchange reflections on the nature and presence of God. While Anselm Grun puts more emphasis on finding God within us, Leonardo Boff focuses more on God’s presence in the unfolding story of the universe. But they agree that both dimensions must be brought together and that the essence of God is love.

  Holy Trinity Perfect Community

  $20.00

  In a series of clear, short chapters, Leonardo Boff unpacks the mysteries of Trinitarian faith, showing why it makes a difference to believe that God is communion rather than solitude. Instead of God as solitary ruler standing above a static universe, Christian belief in the Trinity means that at the root of everything there is movement, an eternal process of life, outward movement, and love.

  Boff shows how the Holy Trinity is, among other things, the image of the perfect community and the image of the church in its ideal form: not a hierarchy of power, but a community of diverse gifts and functions.

  Ideal for study or personal reflection.

  “Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor” represents Leonardo Boff’s most systematic effort to date to link the spirit of liberation theology with the urgent challenge of ecology. Focusing on the threatened Amazon of his native Brazil, Boff traces the ties that bind the fate of the rain forests with the fate of the Indians and the poor of the land. In this book, readers will find the keys to a new, liberating faith.
