Our vital relationship with Maryknoll isrecognized in every book, wherein we note, Orbis seeks to explore the global dimensions ofChristian faith and mission, to invite dialogue with diverse cultures and religious traditions,and to serve the cause of reconciliation and peace.

A ll those themes are reflected in this catalog. There are books about the life of Jesusand his peace message throughout history. There are titles on Africa, Christian-Muslim

dialogue, poverty in America and climate change, as well as the voices of modern prophetslike Dorothy Day, Abraham Heschel, Martin Luther King, Thomas Berry, and ThomasMerton. There are titles that address the joyful as well as anguishing aspects of the humancondition, including the mysteries of suffering and death.

A ll of these themes are reflected in the spir it of M aryknolla spir it described in FatherJoe Venerosos new book, Mirrors of Grace: The Spirit and Spiritualities of Maryknoll( facing page) .

To all our friends, we invite you to join us in saying thanks to Maryknoll, and thanks to

God for M aryknoll, in its centenary year, with hopes that our mission will continue to growand prosper.

Blessings,Robert Ellsberg

Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.

In words and pictures, a beautiful celebration of

the ideas that motivate Maryknoll missioners to

serve the poor around the world.

M

aryknoll Fathers and Brothers have

travelled to every corner of the earth to

spread the gospel for 100 years. What is

the spirituality that motivates and sustains them?

In this beautiful celebration of their life and the

lives of those they live among, Fr. Joseph Veneroso

shows how these missioners are in fact two-way

mirrors. They reflect the love of Christ for all of us

by their example, and the holiness, goodness, and

beauty they see in the lives of the people they serve.

What they see and experience overseas alsoprofoundly affects and changes them. For

Maryknollers, all peoples are partners on an exciting

spiritual journeywhich we are all called to share.

Mirrors of Graceshines a light on spiritual ideas that

can uplift all of us. Filled with true stories and full-

color pictures of Maryknollers in action, it will

inspire us to express that spirit wherever we happen

to be.

Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.,is a Maryknoll priest

and the former publisher ofMaryknollmagazine. He

is the author of God in Unexpected Places (Orbis,

2007) andGood News for Today (Orbis, 2009).

More than 40 million Americans today fit

definition that hasnt been revised in 50

yearsand 9.25 million of them were served by

Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) 2008-2009. InThink and Act A new,CCUSA President Fr. Larry

Anyone (again, including non-Catholics) looking

for the place to start the debate we need to have in

the wake of the financial crisis would do well to

begin exactly where Fr. Snyder does.

Think and Act Anew challenges individuals,

businesses, and governments to examine their roles,accountability, and potential to change our nations

courseand then to act to ensure that these lessons

are not lost.

Provides honest answers to perennial questions:

How can a good God allow evil in the world? What

does it all mean? Where lies happiness?

A

masterful teacher addresses the perennial

questions about God, suffering, and evil,

and offers authentic, sincere, and informed

answers. Based on sound theology and made real

with personal experiences of the author and others

through the ages, Life Is Hard, But God Is Good

offers understanding and consolation.

The author goes to the heart of the matter in

exploring the dilemma of why bad things happen to

good people, and where God isor isntin all of

this. The strength of the book is its existentialapproach: it hits the topic where the rubber meets

the road. It speaks directly to individuals who are

asking these questions for specific reasons. It is

perfect for personal reading and for group use.

Seamlessly combining spiritual writing, reportage,

travel narrative, humor, and recent history, best-

selling author James Martin recalls his time as a

young Jesuit working with the refugees in the slums

of Nairobi, Kenya. Drawing on his previous

he had much to teach the refugees. But they wouldend up teaching him much more about life, about

survival and faith, and about love and friendship.

With stories that are by turns frankly incredible,

darkly comic, inspirational, tragic, and always

provocative, this compelling work is a wonderfully

realized tribute to our shared humanity.

Two practitioners of interfaith dialogue provide

readers with a guide for Catholics and Muslims to

reach greater mutual understanding and work for

social justice.

Taking up the story of the peaceful encounter

between St. Francis of Assisi and Sultan

Malik al-Kamil in Damietta, Egypt in 1219,

the authors aim to increase basic understanding of

one anothers beliefs between Christians and

Muslims. Further, they show how Christians and

Muslims can draw on values common to both

traditions to work together to build more just and

peaceful communities.

In clear, accessible language the book describes the

core beliefs of both Christians and Muslims. Then,

after demonstrating how both the Bible and Quran

call for actions that promote the common good and

love of neighbor, Dardess and Mich suggest practical

ways for Muslims and Christians to come together

to address the pressing needs of our world today.

A permanent deacon in the Roman Catholic

Church, George Dardess is a member of theMuslimCatholic Alliance of Rochester and is

author of three books on Muslim-Christian

dialogue: Meeting Islam: A Guide for Christians

(Paraclete, 2005), andDo We Worship the Same God:

Comparing the Bible and the Quran (St. Anthony

Messenger, 2006). He lives in Rochester, New York.

President of the Greater Rochester Community of

Churches, Marvin L. Krier Mich is director ofSocial Policy at the Catholic Family Center, a

I

f you want to know God, sharpen your sense

of the human.Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was oneof the great religious teachers and moral prophets of

our time. Born in Warsaw to a long line of Hasidic

rabbis, he chose instead to study philosophy in

Germany. Expelled back to Warsaw, he escaped just

weeks before the Nazi invasion and settled in the

United States. Through a series of books he

contributed greatly to the spiritual renewal of

Judaism. But he exerted an equal influence onChristians, so much that he was called another

apostle to the gentiles.

A passionate champion of interfaith dialogue, he

served as an official observer at Vatican II and was

influential in challenging the Catholic Church to

overcome the legacy of anti-Semitism. He raised a

prophetic challenge to the social issues of his day,

marching with Martin Luther King and protestingthe Vietnam war. His writings here on prayer, God,

prophecy, the human condition, and the spiritual

life vividly communicate his instinct for the holy

dimension of all existence.

Susannah Heschel, the daughter of Abraham

Heschel, is the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies

at Dartmouth College. Her many books includeThe

Aryan Jesus: Christian T heologians and the Bible inNazi Germany (Princeton, 2008) and Abraham

Geiger and the Jewish Jesus(Chicago, 1998). She is

the editor of Moral Grandeur & Spir itual Audacity:

Lessons from modern saintsCatholics and

Protestantsthat illuminate the relation between how

we die and how we live.

D

ying is the most general human event,

something we all have to do. But do we

do it well? Is our own death more thanan unavoidable fate that we simply wish would not

be? Can it somehow become an act of fulfillment,

perhaps more human than any other human act?

Henri Nouwen

All of us face the prospect of deathif not this day,

then one day. But most of us would rather defer that

thought indefinitely. Earlier generations of

Christians studied classicars moriendimanuals onthe art of dyingto help them face and embrace

mortality. They learned from these books something

our own generation is in danger of forgetting: that

the manner in which one dies very much depends

on the manner in which one has lived.

Kerry Walters offers a new take on an old theme,

exploring the connection between living and dying

well by recounting the stories of nine exemplarymen and women of our time and the particular

virtues they embodied.

From Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Sister Thea

Bowman, Etty Hillesum, Civil Rights martyr

Jonathan Daniels, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pope John

Paul II, and Caryll Houselander, we learn lessons

about love, trust, gratitude, patience, courage, and

hospitality. These lessons teach us something abouthow to die. But mostly they show us what it means

to truly live.

Kerry Walters is a professor of philosophy and

peace and justice studies at Gettysburg College. He

is the author of many books, including Atheism: A

Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum, 2010) and

Practicing Presence: The Spirituality of Caring in

Everyday Life(Sheed & Ward, 2001).

Gathers together for the first time some of the most

brilliant and controversial journalism of the 20th

century by a high-profile public intellectual and

convert to Catholicism

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) was one

of the English-speaking worlds most

fascinating literary figures. His writing

dazzles with its prophetic insight, courage, and wit.

He was the first writer to reveal the true nature of

Stalins regime when in 1933 he exposed the terror

famine in the Ukraine. Four decades later,

Muggeridge was to make the work of Mother Teresa

of Calcuttawho contributed a Foreword to this

book during the initial stages of its research

known all over the world.

This enthralling collection of Muggeridges

journalism reveals the astonishing range and

steadiness of his gaze. Muggeridge seems to have

been present at the great turning points of the last

century and to have known, and seen through, the

pretensions of many of its protagonists. Painstakingly

researched from among Muggeridges private papers,

journals, letters and unpublished works, Time and

Eternityoffers unique and inspirational insight into

the professional and private journey of one of the

great writers of our time.

Nicholas Flynnwas a friend of Malcolm Muggeridge

in the final decade of his life and is an authority on

his work. He is a writer, painter, and musician who

has written for The Independent newspaper and

Guitar International. He lives in London.

A fresh look at the life of the founder of the Catholic

Worker Movement 30 years after her death.

The best introduction to Dorothy Day and

the spirit of the Catholic Worker.

Jeff Dietrich, The Catholic Agitator

Jim Forests book about Dorothy Day is much likethe grand lady herself: disarming in simplicity of

approach and statement, but awesome in cumulative

effect.John Deedy,Commonweal

Dorothy Day (1897-1980), founder of the Catholic

Worker movement, and one of the most prophetic

voices in the American Catholic Church, has

recently been proposed as a candidate for

canonization. In this lavishly illustrated biography,Jim Forest provides a compelling portrait of her

heroic efforts to live out the radical message of the

Gospel for our time.

A journalist and social reformer in her youth, Day

surprised her friends with the decision in 1927 to

enter the Roman Catholic Church. In the Catholic

Worker, which she launched in 1933, she found a

way to combine her faith with her compellingcommitment to the poor and social justice.

Day and those who joined her devoted themselves

to the Works of Mercy while struggling to create a

new society where it is easier to be good. An

ardent pacifist, Day was frequently arrested for her

protests in the cause of peace and for the rights of

workers.

Drawing on Days recently published diaries and

letters, Forest chronicles her extraordinary journey,

with special stress on the unique spiritual vision

that underlay her dramatic witness.

Jim Forest, who lives in The Netherlands, is

secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. A

lifelong peacemaker, he is the author of many books,

includingPraying with Icons(Orbis, 2008),The Roadto Emmaus: Pilgrimage as a Way of Life(Orbis, 2007),

and Living with Wisdom: A Life of T homas Merton

he peculiar grace of a Shaker chair is due

to the fact that it was made by someone

capable of believing that an angel might

come and sit on it.Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton, with his Cistercian instinct for

religious purity, simplicity, and the sacramental

value of work, was, as this illuminating volume

shows, the natural dialogue partner with the

Shakers and their artful work.

Lawrence S. Cunningham, author,

Thomas Merton and the Monastic VisionHis delight in the Shakers and his admiration for

the noble simplicity of their life and work shine

through the pages of this very readable book.

William H. Shannon, author,

Silent Lamp: The Thomas Merton Story

Through this beautiful and inspiring volume the

American soul is laid bare to challenge us . . . to

dance to a more joyful and worthy tune.M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O.

In these essays, talks, and a stunning selection of his

own photographs, Thomas Merton hauntingly

evokes the spirituality of a uniquely American sect.

Largely remembered today for a legacy of

extraordinary craftsmanship, the Shakers espoused

a way of life, as Merton shows, with surprising

relevance for today. In their approach to work as aform of worship, in their practice of community,

their simplicity and rejection of violence, and their

profound witness to the Kingdom of God, Merton

finds lessons for all Christians.

Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O., who died in 1968, was

a Trappist monk and one of the great spiritual

writers of the twentieth century.

A highly readable gem.Catholi c L ibrary Worl d

Inspiring, often lyrical.St. Anthony M essenger

Like no other religious thinker, Thomas Berry has

been a prophetic voice regarding Earths destruction

and the urgent need for human response from the

Christian community. This book collects Berrys

signature views on the interrelatedness of both

Earths future and the Christian future. He ponders

why Christians have been late in coming to the

issue of the environment. He reflects insightfully on

how the environment must be seen as a religious

issue, not simply a scientific or economic problem.

In powerful and poetic language Berry presents a

compelling vision of the sacredness of the universe

and the interrelatedness of the Earth community.

Drawing on Thomas Aquinas and Teilhard de

Chardin he brings the Christian tradition into a

cosmology of care for the whole of creation.

Thomas Berry, C.P., was a geologian, historian of

religion, and philosopher, a member of the Passionist

order, and the single most important Christian and

Catholic voice on the link between faith, reverence

for all of life, and the environmental crisis. His

many books included The Dream of the Earthand

Evening Thoughts(both Sierra Club Books, 2006).

A powerful warning of the perils of global warming

Paul Collins presents the political, economic,

ecological crisis convincingly and

brilliantly. Hans Kng, author,

Global Responsibility: In Search of a New World Ethic

A courageous book. Paul Collins deploys his

considerable skills as a historian, theologian, and

journalist to convince the reader of the magnitude

of the crisis now threatening the Earth.

Sean McDonagh, author,

The Greening of the Church

The recent Gulf oil spill is just the latest depredation

against the planet. From every direction come signs

of global climate change and other forms of

ecological disaster that threaten the future of all

living beings. In this sobering assessment of our

condition, Paul Collins examines the nature of this

crisis and how we got hereincluding a review ofthe mental habits of thought, including religious

worldviews, that have contributed to our dilemma

and continue to inhibit effective action.

As Collins shows, if religious ideas have contributed

to the problem, there are also powerful resources

within the Christian tradition that can help us

both in scripture, and in the work of prophetic

geologians like Thomas Berry and Pierre Teilhardde Chardin. Drawing on these resources, Collins

lays out the elements of a theology aimed at saving

the Earth and ourselves.

Afine reinterpretation of atonement theory

from a liberationist perspective.Roger Haight, Jesus Symbol of God

This classic work of liberation theology explores the

meaning of the Cross, both as it has been interpreted

in the past and how it should be interpreted in the

context of contemporary faith and circumstances.

These particular circumstances include the poverty

and repression, fear and violence under which so

many of the worlds people suffer today. In such aworld, how can the Cross be understood and

preachedand what are the consequences of that

understanding?

When Boff first wrote in the 1970s his immediate

context was military dictatorship, torture, and

violent repression in Latin America. As he notes in

his new Preface, that context must be enlarged

today to include the passion of the Earthacontinuation of the Passion of Christ in our time.

Leonardo Boff is Brazils best-known theologian,

author of more than sixty books on liberation

theology, ecology, and spirituality, including

Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor (Orbis, 1997),

Ilia Delio

The author of Christ in Evolution continues her

exploration of faith and science in the 21st century.

The most incomprehensible thing about

the universe is that it is comprehensible.

Albert Einstein

Ilia Delio makes fascinating sense of the universe,beginning with the story of cosmic evolution,

coursing through the meaning of God in evolution

and the emergence of Christ, and concluding with

new ways of seeing Christ in all things. As Teilhard

de Chardin did in The Divine M ilieu, Ilia Delio

reveals the sacrament of God at work in the world.

She also explores the spiritual evolution within

each of us and suggests that it will change thecosmos as well as the church. She shows that we are

at a stage in evolution where our choices will

determine what happens next.

The Emergent Christ is an antidote to the new

atheism that says there is no place in evolution for

God, let alone a God of love. It is also a spiritual

tonic for Christians interested in understanding

their place and purpose in this evolving universe.Ilia Delio, O.S.F., is Senior Fellow in Science and

Shows students how understanding situations of

conflict in the Bible can develop skills for addressing

conflict in the world.

F

rom the Genesis accounts of Adam and Eve

through the Letters of Saint Paul, each of

eleven chapters examines a type of conflictintrapersonal, interpersonal, or between humans

and God, and also a particular themethe nature

of conflict, the role of identity, the need for

forgiveness, the use of power, the potential of

mediation, the skills of negotiation, the possibility

of reconciliation. The goal is to help readers

recognize different aspects of conflict, and learn

how to develop right relationships with one another

and with God.

The biblical accounts include well-known stories of

conflict, such as that of Joseph and his brothers,

Jeremiah and King Zedekiah, David and his wife

Michal, Judith and Holofernes, Moses negotiating

with God over the building of the golden calf, and

the apostle Paul addressing both Gentiles and Jews.

In accessible language and including discussionquestions, suggested readings, and sidebars through-

out, Reading the Bible, Transforming Con ict is a

uniquely attractive, classroom-tested text for

undergraduates and others to explore the Bible and

age-old themes of human conflict.

Carol J. Dempsey, O.P., a Dominican sister and

Old Testament scholar, teaches biblical studies and

interdisciplinary courses at the University ofPortland and is the author of Justice: A Biblical

21/31


Demonstrates how understanding environmental

science and theology can provide new resources

for sustaining the Earth.

A

compelling sign of the times is that our

human experience today is defined in part

by increasing ecological degradation.

Given the complexity of these environmental issues,

this book argues that creative and strategic

collaboration between theology and environmental

science is necessary to find and implement practical

solutions.

The authors argue a solid grounding in

environmental science creates an understanding of

the major environmental problems we face: globalclimate change, ozone depletion, depletion of the

earths resources, collapse of biodiversity, over-

population and over-consumption, the presence of

persistent toxins, and the challenges of achieving

sustainability. With humankind contributing to the

source of many of these problems, the book also

explores the many contributions theology can make

to the healing of the worldincluding an

understanding of God as creator and the roles of

nature, grace, sin, and revelation.

With sidebars, discussion questions, and rec-

ommended readings, this book provides students

and professors a text that nurtures both critical

thinking and ethical action.

Catholic theologians from around the world explore

P

ope Benedict XVI has posed the following

question to Catholic scholars: What has

Jesus really brought . . . if he has not brought

world peace, universal prosperity, and a better

world? In response, theologians from around the

globe gathered in Galilee to dialogue about the

significance of Jesus today. The resulting essays

reflect on the significance and understanding of the

historical Jesus for communities in Latin America,

Europe, Nigeria, Korea, Mexico, and the U.S.,

including Korean Americans, Hispanic/Latino

Americans, African Americans, and Euro-

Americans.

his appointment with the Maryknoll Sisters who

were helping the women of Tanzania. And

Ahmadou Ahidijo, the black Muslim leader of

Cameroon who was a model of positive interfaith

relations.

Pr ophet ic Dial ogueRefl ect ions on Chr ist ian Mission Today

Stephen B. Bevans and Roger P. Schroeder

A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be

effective in the twenty-first century, mission must be

prophetic as it encounters other cultures and religious

traditions.

When we speak of mission as dialogue,

then, we are about as far away fromimagining mission as conquering the

world for Christ and missionaries as marines of the

Catholic Church as we probably can get. There has

indeed been a radical shift, both in the world in

which the church does mission and within the

churchs own consciousness of the goodness and

even holiness of that world. These words from one

of the essays in this superb collection clearly

demonstrate the changing view of mission today.

In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder

address a primary challenge faced by Christians

missioners today: How can they bring the Christian

tradition to interact respectfully and effectively

with members of other cultures and traditions from

around the globe and still be prophetic?

Stephen B. Bevans, S.V.D., is the Louis J. Luzbetak,S.V.D., Professor of Theology and Culture at

of Models of Contextual Theology (Orbis, 1992), An

Chr ist ian Peace and Nonviol enceA Document a r y Hist ory

Michael G. Long, editor

Foreword by Stanley Hauerwas

A comprehensive survey of two thousand years of

Christian voices for peace.

These extraordinary documents, which

bear witness to the Christian commitment

to peace across time, clarify that

nonviolence is not a mere exceptionit is at thevery heart of what it means to be a follower of Christ.

. . . An essential teaching resource not only for

thinking through nonviolence but also for

understanding the very character of Christianity.

from the Foreword byStanley Hauerwas

From the Sermon on the Mount to the twenty-first

Century, this broadly ecumenical reader recounts

the Christian message of peace and nonviolence.Through testimony by the confessors and martyrs of

the early church, the voices of medieval figures like

St. Benedict and St. Francis, as well as Erasmus, the

Lollards, A nabaptists, and Quaker abolitionists,

Christian Peace and Nonviolencepresents a coherent

story in which the peace message of Jesus is restored

to itscentral place. Later sections highlight many of

the great prophets of modern times, including

Tolstoy, Dorothy Day, A. J. Muste, Thomas Merton,

Daniel Berrigan, John Howard Yoder, Stanley

Hauerwas, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Oscar

Romero.

Comprehensive and compelling, Christian Peace

and Nonviolenceis not only a unique reference work,

but a source of inspirationa witness to the power

of Christian nonviolence in history and in our own

time as well.
