| Description: |
This book presents a clear, accessible introduction to contemplative prayer as a formative practice that shapes interior attentiveness, discernment, and freedom. Rather than offering technique-driven formulas, it examines the dispositions that prepare a person for sustained contemplative practice, openness, honesty, receptivity, and a willingness to relinquish self-preoccupation.
Aimed especially at lay readers, Kremski argues that deep contemplative engagement is not the preserve of clergy or religious specialists but an attainable path for anyone seeking greater interior coherence and spiritual depth. Readers are guided to reflect on the nature of truth, the dynamics of surrender, the challenges of listening, and the role of contemplation within the wider Christian community, ultimately an invitation to a more grounded and attentive way of life. |

| Description: |
Through a close exegetical reading of Paul's letters, this volume shows how Paul prioritised moral formation and community-building in his pastoral ministry and placed the practice of communal discernment in churches at the heart of life in the Spirit. Applying these fundamental insights for today's churches, Lewis reclaims Paul's primary pastoral emphasis on moral discernment and community-building, showing how this practice can be used in a variety of local church communities.
Ideal for scholars and clergy interested in applying Paul's pastoral theology to real contexts, the volume includes practical examples and strategies for engaging in a vibrant practice of spiritual discernment today. |

| Description: |
This book offers a fresh, interdisciplinary exploration of Jesus's financially themed parables, showing how their narrative artistry reveals the economic logic of the kingdom of God, a logic grounded not in accumulation but in generosity, relational wholeness, and service. Drawing on expertise in both literature and biblical studies, the author illuminates how these familiar stories re-orient readers' assumptions about money, resources, and divine grace.
By examining key parables within their narrative, theological, and ethical dimensions, the study invites contemporary readers to reconsider the use of possessions in light of God's expansive generosity. Written without unnecessary jargon, it serves equally well in undergraduate courses on the Gospels and in church-based study contexts. |

| Description: |
In this essay collection, Joshua Jipp explains how the Acts of the Apostles and its companion volume, Luke's Gospel, illuminate what God has done for Israel, for Gentiles, and for Christians. The collection, which brings together new essays with previously published works, provides close readings of specific passages while also setting forth a comprehensive vision of the character, purpose, and activity of God.
Among other topics, Jipp explores intertextual readings of Israel's sacred writings, the suffering Messiah, ethnic reasoning, conversion, mental illness, economics, and hospitality. The result is a significant contribution to the theology of Acts and, by extension, the theology of the New Testament. |

Binz helps readers see Messiah as more than a musical masterpiece: it's a theological and devotional journey that deepens our understanding of faith. Ideal for anyone curious about the biblical foundations of this beloved work, whether in church study or personal reflection. |

Francis Moloney SDB reminds us that the New Testament was written not as distant history but as life-giving guidance for real communities, and for us today.

Fr Moloney shows that the entire Bible stands at the heart of our worship and discipleship, and his own lifelong journey with the text becomes an encouragement to all who follow Christ: the New Testament still shapes, strengthens, and inspires every disciple of the Word. |
