| Description: |
Brian Gallagher uses the words integrity, humility, grace in people to talk about their compassion, their being with other people.
In a paraphrase of Pope Francis' description of humility, Gallagher concludes that compassion is that virtue which, when you have it, you don't think you do.
"This book is a reservoir of wisdom, stemming from ongoing self-reflection. keen observation of people and their experiences, and a serious exploration of other spiritual sources."

| Description: |
Why did Jesus come? The traditional argument is that he came to redeem us from sin and destroy death, and thus reverse the fall. Many have long found this unsatisfactory, because it centres human deficit, rather than divine abundance.
In this study, Samuel Wells traces his notion of 'being with' right into the Trinity itself. In dialogue with Maximus the Confessor, Duns Scotus and Karl Barth, among others, he articulates a Christocentric theology in which God's means and God's ends are identical.
In the process, Wells offers a constructive account of the incarnation, cross and resurrection of Jesus that out-narrates conventional atonement theories. He correspondingly proposes an account of sin, evil, suffering and death that accords with this revised understanding. The result is a compelling and transformational proposal in incarnational theology. |

| Description: |
As we transition into the second half of life, we are confronted by our challenges, mistakes, losses and other forms of suffering.
Little do most of us realise that these sufferings are in fact enormous gifts, opportunities to step outside our comfort zones and broaden our horizons.
Rohr explores the two halves of life to show that the heartbreaks and disappointments of the first half are actually stepping-stones to the joys that the second has in store. |

| Description: |
This is the story of a true friendship, a friendship of the soul. Here Armando Vasquez shares an inside look at the journey of Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV, whom he met in Trujillo, Peru, and with whom he shared his mission, conversations, and daily life for decades. From this close bond emerges a portrait of a simple man with a sense of humor and an enormous capacity for listening, who now carries the responsibility and grace of guiding the entire Roman Catholic church.
Vasquez reveals a friendship in Christ, Robert Prevost's closeness and affection for Pope Francis, the strength of his family and his migrant roots, his Augustinian spirituality, his Marian devotion, and Prevost's profound connection with the legacy of Leo XIII. The inspiring story shares personal insight into this spiritual leader of deep faith and compassion. The result is an intimate portrait of a pope and the beginnings of a pontificate, revealing the man in Leo XIV from the depths of friendship and shared faith. |

| Description: |
The Vatican released Magnifica Humanitas, Latin for "Magnificent Humanity", on 25 May 2026, making it the first papal encyclical devoted primarily to artificial intelligence. Pope Leo XIV, signed the 42,300-word document at St Peter's Basilica on 15 May 2026, exactly 135 years after his namesake Pope Leo XIII published Rerum Novarum, the foundational 1891 encyclical on labour rights during the Industrial Revolution.
On 25 May at the Vatican, theologian Anna Rowlands presented key themes from Pope Leo XIV?s encyclical Magnifica humanitas, focused on protecting human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. Rowlands described the document as an urgent moral intervention, arguing that society can no longer delay confronting the social, political, and economic consequences of AI. She stressed that decisions about technology must not be left solely to corporations or profit-driven systems, but should include the voices of workers, migrants, families, and communities most affected by digital change.
Rowlands warned against "posthuman" visions that treat people as replaceable parts within algorithmic systems, emphasizing instead the value of human limitation, solidarity, and participation. She said the encyclical challenges the world to recover a shared moral imagination rooted in justice, love, and the common good. Ultimately, she presented Magnifica humanitas as both a critique of technological domination and an invitation to build a more humane and compassionate society together. |

| Description: |
A collection of essays and responses situating and discussing the role of resurrection in contemporary Christian spirituality as inspired by the life work of Sandra Schneiders. The source is "Resurrection in the Age of Uncertainty," a conference in honour of Sandra Schneiders held by the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality, Nov. 15-17, 2023. Contributors include Sandra Schneiders, Bernard McGinn, Philip Sheldrake, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, and Dan Horan.
"St. Paul tells us that if Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then we, as Christians, are the most deluded of all people. But if he did rise, then everything makes sense. These essays on the resurrection underscore that point. Written to honour the work of Sandra Schneiders, a preeminent theologian of the resurrection, they give us a deeper understanding of the very anchor of our faith."

| Description: |
How can we live truthfully in a world riddled with ambiguity, contradiction, and clashing viewpoints? We make sense of the world imaginatively, resolving ambiguous and incomplete impressions into distinct forms and wholes. But the images, objects, words, and even lives of which we make sense in this way always have more or other possible meanings.
Judith Wolfe argues that faith gives us courage both to shape our world creatively, and reverently to let things be more than we can imagine.
She uses complementary materials from literature, psychology, art, and philosophy, to demonstrate that Christian theology offers a potent way of imagining the world even as it brings us to the limits of our capacity to imagine. In revealing the significance of unseen depths, of what does not yet make sense to us, and the incomplete, Wolfe characterizes faith as trust in God that surpasses all imagination. |
