| Description: |
This book brings together the reflections preached by Bishop Erik Varden to Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Curia at the 2026 Lent retreat. Informed by Scripture and the liturgy, illumined by the insights of Bernard of Clairvaux, Varden addresses questions of timeless relevance: What is the meaning of freedom? How can we speak well about truth? How do we respond when high ideals are compromised by human betrayal?
Varden reveals Lent not as deprivation but as a clarifying pilgrimage toward Christ's 'hidden glory'. This contemplative yet urgent work invites readers to walk the exodus path with renewed courage, vigilance, and hope.
"The richness of [these] reflections will continue for a long time to be for us a source of blessing, of grace, of encounter with Jesus Christ."
Pope Leo XIV |

| Description: |
Rachel Teubner offers an exploration of humility in Dante's Divine Comedy, arguing that the poem is an ascetical exercise concerned with training its author gradually in the practice of humility, rather than being a reflection of authorial hubris. This is a contribution to recent scholarship that considers the poem to be a work of self-examination investigating its scriptural, literary, and liturgical sources, also offering fresh feminist perspectives on its theological challenges.
Teubner demonstrates how the poetry of the Comedy is theologically significant, focusing especially on the poem's definition of humility as ethically and artistically meaningful. Interrogating the text canto by canto, she also reveals how contemporary tools of literary analysis can offer new insights into its meaning.
Theologians and scholars of medieval religion will be introduced to a growing body of scholarship exploring Dante's religious thought. Undergraduate and novice readers will also find benefit. |

| Description: |
Clemens Sedmak explores how institutions can either uphold or undermine human dignity. Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis?s vision of mercy, Sedmak examines the ethical responsibilities of organizations, their leaders, and the systems that shape everyday life. He argues that institutions are never morally neutral; they influence justice, compassion, and the well-being of individuals and communities.
Clear, engaging, and deeply relevant, the book challenges readers to rethink how mercy can become a guiding principle in institutional life, fostering integrity, dignity, and the common good in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
Sedmark blends thoughtful ethical reflection with practical examples, and offers insights for scholars, church leaders, administrators, and anyone committed to creating more humane organizations. |
