RAYMOND E. BROWN AND THE CATHOLIC BIBLICAL RENEWALDonald Senior, CP Foreword by Ronald D. Witherup, PSS

Distinguished biblical scholar Donald Senior has written a comprehensive, analytical and critical, and deeply appreciative biography of one of greatest biblical scholars of the 20th century that locates him within the sweep and drama of the Catholic Biblical renewal, espe-cially in the United States.

Exploring the life of Raymond Brown is also to be plunged into one of the most remark-able periods in the history of the Catholic Church. Brown’s exceptional personal gifts and his formative experiences explain a lot about his future professional life and the impact it had on the Catholic Church in the United States. At the same time, tracking the evolution of his publications and his reflections on his methodology illumines the struggle within Roman Catholicism to absorb historical critical methods of studying the Bible, while attempting at the same time to maintain Catholic tradition and doctrine. Brown stood at the very epicenter of that struggle, a struggle whose reverberations are still part of the atmosphere of Cathol-icism today.

Donald Senior, CP, is president emeritus of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, IL, and a leading scholar of the New Testament. His Paulist Press books include Jesus: A Gospel Portrait and the coauthored Invitation to the Gospels.

LONELY MYSTICA New Portrait of Henri J. M. NouwenMichael Ford

“Loneliness is a negative, so we have to turn it into a positive. When I embrace my loneliness, I find light, hope and joy.”

—Henri Nouwen in conversation with the author.

Throughout his life and his writings, Nouwen struggled with loneliness, recently described as “the virus of our age.” But by integrating his spirituality, formed in the priesthood, with his psychological insights, gleaned through his clinical training, he produced books that helped others live with loneliness in creative ways. Loneliness is the main artery running through the corpus of Nouwen’s work, yet there has never been a single study devoted to this major theme of his thinking. In this new book, Nouwen’s biographer Michael Ford explores and analyzes Nouwen’s writings on loneliness, intimacy, and friendship in relation to his life. He draws from unused interviews recorded for his biography, Wounded Prophet, twenty years ago and includes original reflections on the subject from people Nouwen touched through his books and through his encounters with others wrestling with alienation and displace-ment. Ford also incorporates material from an interview Nouwen gave him, his only one for the BBC. The result is a spirituality of loneliness for our times, the fruit of Nouwen’s best writing on the subject and fresh insights into the soul of a priest whose tortured brilliance is inspiring a new generation of readers.

Michael Ford is a journalist, broadcaster, author/editor of ten books in the field of contemporary spirituality. He gives retreats and teaches on Henri Nouwen. He resides in the UK.

THE CRUCIFIED JESUS IS NO STRANGERRevised EditionSebastian Moore; foreword by Joseph Melling

The Crucified Jesus Is No Stranger explores the art of contemplating Jesus crucified which, as Moore acknowledges, is to come to understand, in painful situations, that the cross that I always first experience as “life’s crucifixion of me” is, in fact, my crucifixion of life—the Jesus-cross. Yet Jesus is also a transforming symbol.

Our own evil becomes explicit in Jesus. When that happens, explains Moore, “this symbol transforms evil into sin and sin into sorrow and forgiveness. And through this conversion, the believer finds as his or her own that identity which first he rejected and crucified.”

Dom Sebastian Moore, OSB, was a popular monk of Downside Abbey, Bath.

A PATH INTO LIFEReflections for Lent and EasterWalter Kasper

Cardinal Walter Kasper offers here thought-pro-voking reflections on Lent and Easter, inviting us to ask, “Why and for what am I here? What is the meaning of my life? What is my vocation as a Christian?”

Kasper emphasizes that “When we think about our life in this way, each of us has a reason to repent and to direct his and her life anew towards Christ and towards Easter. With this new orientation, contemplating the pas-sion of Christ becomes a path of Easter, a path of transition, of transformation and of grace, a path of hope. On this path, we find life” (from the introduction).

Walter Kasper is a German cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He is president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, having served as its president from 2001 to 2010.

The Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultat—Study EditionPreface by Catherine Clifford Foreword by Massimo Faggioli

In this papal exhortation, Pope Francis looks at the call to holiness in today’s world, which is some-thing to which we all can aspire. No matter who we are, young or old and no matter what our voca-tion, it is in the very act of living—with humility, kindness, and mercy—that we can become holy.

THE MESSAGE OF AMORIS LAETITIAFinding Common GroundWalter Kasper

The Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia has sparked a lively discussion. While many readers have perceived the text as liberating, others with mixed feelings have made pointed arguments about its meaning. Cardinal Kasper points out that Amoris Laetitia, based on the Gospel and the documents of the Sec-ond Vatican Council, is a creative renewal of the tradition that picks up and carefully con-tinues the work of the last pontificates. In the service of “The Joy of Love” Kasper construc-

tively contributes to the discussion while taking in all points of view. In this work he shows the many aspects of the document and defends it against a one-sided interpretation.

ECUMENISM OF BLOODHeavenly Hope for Earthly CommunionHugh Somerville Knapman, OSB

Ecumenism of Blood demonstrates that it is possible within the status quo of Catholic doc-trine for the Catholic Church to recognize in some official way, in this case liturgically, the Christian martyrs of the eastern churches. Such a development would have immense implications as an example of realizable, practicable ecumenism, as well as a gesture of solidarity with an ancient and persecuted church. Pope Francis’s unsystematic references to ecumenism of blood offers an opening, though many in the blogosphere mentioned the ancient denial of the martyr’s crown to heretics and schismatics. However, if blood could baptize non-Christians who died in odio Christi, why could it not absolve non-Cath-olic Christians from schism? Thus, it seemed possible for there to be a reconciliation of blood that could be derived by analogy from baptism of blood. Searching the tradition, it is possible to see this development prepared for, especially from Benedict XIV and reaching a climax with John Paul II’s Ut unum sint, the teaching of which is conclusive. Considering ecumenical sensitivity and to avoid the appearance of ecclesial imperialism, Ecumenism of Blood proposes the mechanism of equivalent canonization as a means of realizing what is shown as doctrinally possible. The obvious question serves as an epilogue: would the blood of martyrdom for Christ reconcile any non-Catholic to the Church, even those from commu-nities outside the apostolic succession.

Hugh Somerville-Knapman, OSB, holds an STB from the Lateran University. He is currently based at Douai Abbey, in the UK, occasionally supplying in parishes and assisting with chaplaincy work at Winchester College.
