| Description: |
Biblical Critical Theory exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape late-modern society, examining them through the lens of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation, and asking urgent questions like:
How does the Bible's storyline help us understand our society, our culture, and ourselves?
How do specific doctrines help us engage thoughtfully in the philosophical, political, and social questions of our day?
How can we analyze and critique culture and its alternative critical theories through Scripture?
It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture or cultures in which we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible, revealing how the whole of the Bible sheds light on the whole of life.
If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline. |

| Description: |
This book is the fruit of Fr. Dubay's many years of study and experience in spiritual direction and in it he synthesizes the teachings on prayer of the two great doctors of the Church on prayer--St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila--and the teaching of Sacred Scripture.
The teaching that Fr. Dubay synthesised is collected from Teresa and John for contemplatives and for every Christian. It is based on the Gospel imperative of personal prayer and the call to holiness. All the major elements of these great teachers are ordered, commented on and put in the context of their scriptural foundations.
This is a book on prayer and the spiritual life based on the writings of the Church's two greatest mystical doctors. |

| Description: |
"....The essays in this collection demonstrate the wide range of genre in which Kelly writes, systematically, but gently, expatiates on the meaning of the mysteries of faith, skilfully interweaving references from the biblical witness, classic creedal statements of faith, doctrinal statements, and insights from the tradition, including the mystics....
In a telling comment, Kelly writes: 'If faith is to remain alive to the living God, if it is to serve the Word, and communicate in the Spirit, our language needs to be restlessly imaginative.'"
From the Foreword by Emeritus Professor Anne Hunt OAM, FACE. |

PAPERBACK |
| Price: |
AU$39.95 |
| Description: |
This book compiles four of Paul's brief prison letters: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. These letters offer a poignant portrait of a man facing severe trials, yet unwavering in faith and hope. Paul's wisdom for these young churches, particularly his guidance to Philemon in a complex moral dilemma, is truly impressive. Within thirty years of Jesus' death and resurrection, Paul articulates a vivid, multifaceted understanding of Jesus' accomplishment, God's global design and its impact on ordinary lives.
This expanded edition includes Wright's updated translation of the biblical text, supplemented by a new introduction and a dynamic study guide tailored for both group study sessions and individual contemplation. The inclusion of helpful summaries and thought-provoking questions makes this book an ideal companion for those seeking to explore the New Testament with fresh enthusiasm and insight. |

| Description: |
When Saints Louis and Zelie Martin were canonized in 2015, they were the first married couple to be declared saints.
Their lives are proof that God works through ordinary families to draw his future saints, like St. Therese of Lisieux, Louis and Zelie's youngest daughter, toward holiness.
Louis and Zelie exemplify how everyday experiences can be sacramental if one is open to a trusting relationship with God. |

| Description: |
In this, his latest installment in his project to make the thought of Teilhard de Chardin more accessible to the average reader, Louis Savary explores topics that cry for fuller development and clarification in Teilhard's thought about the phenomenon of Christianity and the future. He includes the role of evil, pain and suffering in fostering evolution, the value and role of matter vis-a-vis spirit in future evolution, and the distinction between God and the created world.
We have been part of a continually evolving religion since its beginnings. Our challenge is to think and act like evolving believers. |

AU$56.95 |
| Description: |
The story of Adam and Eve's fall from innocence in the Garden of Eden is a mythical account of humanity's broken relationship with the divine, with Earth, and with themselves.
In contrast, Celtic wisdom is built on a strong bond with Earth. In the prophetic figures that Newell draws from, the Garden of Eden represents the inner garden of our souls and the outer garden of Earth, which are seen as essentially one. To live in relation to what is deepest in us is to live in relation to the ground from which we and all things have come.
This life-affirming, nourishing book contemplates a new sense of home spiritually, deeply rooted within ourselves and in our shared journey with each other and Earth. |
