"The studies in this volume were originally prepared as working papers for the internal use of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) in its study of Mary. .... The Agreed Statement on Mary is mercifully concise, containing only 80 paragraphs. This required the omission of some historical, discursive and illustrative material that could have been included in a longer document. The papers in this volume will make up for some of the omissions. However, they will not explain everything in the agreement. .... The Seattle Statement urges a 're-reception' of doctrine about Mary by both Roman Catholics and Anglicans. This will be one more step towards 'the restoration of complete communion of faith and sacramental life which Pope Paul VI and the Archbishop of Canterbury (Michael Ramsey) declared to be our goal in 1966. The journey to this goal has been long. These papers were part of ARCIC's food for that journey. We trust that they will now help others". -- Intro.

First delivered as the Clark Lectures, at Trinity College, Cambridge, in February and March 2005.
"The invitation to deliver the Clark Lectures in 2005 came as both a surprise and a great delight. I was able to explore a theme that had fascinated me for several decades -- the relationship between Christian thought and the practice of the arts; more particularly, the interaction between various artists and the new and exploratory thinking about aesthetics that was emerging in Roman Catholic thinking in the first quarter of the twentieth century. .... the work of Jacques Maritain, whose writings form my starting point in what follows .... " (p. ix). "Maritain challenged and inspired (and indeed exasperated) many artists. .... But of those who are most explicit about his impact, I have chosen to concentrate on two: David Jones, poet and painter, and Flannery O'Connor, novelist. Both were conscious of being Catholic artists; both were intolerant of any suggestion that this obliged them to be edifying or easy. .... Indeed, by making the connection between artistic labour and a whole doctrine of being, he [Maritain] allowed them at least to suggest that faith -- so far from suppressing creativity -- made more and deeper things possible for the artist. The last of the four lectures, begins to examine how this might be developed, without too heavy a reliance on the precise vocabulary of Maritain" (p. xi). -- Intro.

"The Bible contains many passages that believers and nonbelievers alike would reject as appalling theology. Whether these texts are used to discriminate, oppress or condemn, they distort the truth of Christianity and the love of God. Now legendary Episcopal bishop and advocate for liberal Christianity John Shelby Spong addresses these passages, shattering our misconceptions and delivering a new vision of how Christians can use the Bible today". -- back cover.

"Published in the United Kingdom as `Scripture and the Authority of God'."
"Having made the Bible the focus of my own professional work for many years, I have become convinced that we are asking at least some of the questions in the wrong way. In an earlier article I explored one of the central questions: How can what is mostly a narrative text be 'authoritative' " .... I then developed my argument in terms of seeing the biblical story as a five-act play, with ourselves called to improvise the concluding act, in Chapter 5 of 'The New Testament and the People of God' ... This present little book builds on these two earlier attempts, and tries to set out the question in a new way. I have tried, in particular, to face head on the question of how we can speak of the Bible being in some sense 'authoritative' when the Bible itself declares that all authority belongs to the one true God, and that this is now embodied in Jesus himself. ..... I have been particularly spurred to write this book by participating in two commissions which have been looking at the nature of 'communion' (as in the phrase 'Anglican Communion') and to which. naturally, questions about the Bible have been central. The International Anglican Doctrinal and Theological Commission has been meeting under the chairmanship of Bishop Stephen Sykes, and is still continuing its work. The Lambeth Commission, chaired by Archbishop Robin Eames, met three times in 2004 and published its findings (the Windsor Report) on October 18 of that year. The central thrust of the present book was developed, in conversation with my colleagues as part of the work of both these groups, and the overlap of some passages here with some paragraphs of the Windsor Report is an indication of my indebtedness to my colleagues and the conversations which forced me to think through issues afresh and to clarify what I was trying to say". -- Prologue, pp. xi-xii.

A discussion of the debate on homosexuality within the Anglican Communion. "[W]hy is gay sexuality the explosive issue that could rip the Anglicans apart, and put an end to a century-old and highly-prized international unity, when such contentious issues as the ordination of women, or discussions about union with other churches, failed to cause a split ? In providing his answers, Stephen Bates shows that unity has been prized by some above integrity, and has been the cause of vicious infighting and internal politics. He discusses the milestones of the debate ....Interviews with leading figures on both sides of the divide -- liberal and evangelical -- in which they justify their positions on homosexuality, indicate just how bitter and divisive the dispute has become." -- inside front cover.

"This pioneering study of Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Christianity opens up new perspectives on Christianization and modernization in this richly complex region. .... Lay leadership is emphasized -- not only in the Churches but also as part of the Christian presence in the realms of politics, business and culture. The broad liturgical, theological, constitutional and pastoral developments of the 19th and 20th centuries are mapped, as a context for the striking changes which have taken place since the 1960s. The dynamics of religious change and conflict, the ambiguities of religious authority, and the destructive effects of Christian colonialism on indigenous communities, especially Australian Aborigines, are all frankly dealt with". --inside front cover.

"Central to ARCIC-I's understanding of conciliarity is that conciliarity and primacy are complementary elements of 'episcope'. .... ARCIC-I develops its understanding of conciliarity within an ecclesiology of communion. The introduction to `The Final Report' claims that "fundamental to all our Statements is the concept of `koinonia' (communion)". `Koinonia' has emerged as an important ecclesiological concept in many bilateral statements. This dissertation, with its emphasis upon conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion, is situated within the broader context of these ecumenical discussions on authority and ecclesiology. I will argue that ARCIC-I's understanding of conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion has implications for Roman Catholic ecclesiology because it redresses a tendency in Roman Catholicism to emphasize papal primacy at the expense of conciliarity and the responsible participation of the whole people of God. I will also demonstrate that the Anglican synodical tradition is a gift that the Anglican Communion brings to the dialogue on authority with the Roman Catholic Church. My thesis is situated within the wider ecumenical discussion on authority, I will also identify some contributions that `The Final Report' makes to an understanding of conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion and to the ongoing ecumenical dialogue on the nature and exercise of authority in the Church". -- Intro, ll. 3, 4

This book "explains, in clear and direct language, the technologies underlying genetically modified food, comparing them with other 'natural' methods of plant breeding and production. Researcher Alan McHughen evaluated the safeguards in place from regulators around the world and asks whether these are sufficient. In particular, he examines the questions of labeling, held by some to be an obvious way to help protect consumers, and addresses the honesty and usefulness of some of these labels. McHughen offers fair-minded, well-informed accounts of issues of real concern, particularly environmental issues, and he outlines ways in which consumers can avoid genetically modified food if they so choose." -- front dust jacket blurb.

"This book is one bishop's attempt to respond to Pope John Paul II's request for bishops to engage with him in a patient and fraternal dialogue about the papacy. Specifically, the pope initiates a dialogue about reform of the papacy whereby it could become more a `service of love recognized by all concerned' (Ut unum sint S95). He is clearly aware, and says so explicitly, that the papal ministry as it now exists constitutes something of an obstacle to Christian unity (ibid S88). It is with a great desire to remove the obstacle that the Pope asks for a dialogue on the papacy." -- Preface, p. 9.

The author "makes sense of what is frequently a misunderstood word: spirituality. In posing the question `What is spirituality ?' Father Rolheiser gets quickly to the heart of common difficulties with the subject, and shows through compelling anecdotes and personal examples how to channel that restlessness, that deep desire, into a healthy spirituality. This book is for those searching to understand what Christian spirituality means and how to apply it to their own lives. Rolheiser explains the nonnegotiables -- the importance of community worship, the imperatives surrounding social action, the centrality of the Incarnation, the sustenance of the spiritual life -- and how spirituality necessarily impacts every aspect of human existence. At the core of this readable, deeply revealing book is an explanation of God and the Church in a world that more often than not doubts the credibility of both". -- inside front cover.
