Naming Grace: Preaching and the Sacramental Imagination

While recognizing the great contribution that 20th century theology has made in describing the relation between God and humanity, Mary Catherine Hilkert concentrates her focus on the resources of the "sacramental imagination." This examination shifts the focus from the gap between the divine and the human and the sinfulness of humanity to the grace discovered in everyday life and the word of God entrusted to the entire community of faith.

Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness

Every commentary on the Book of Psalms has had to face the issue that many of these prayers commemorate and celebrate: wrath and vengeance. What is needed is not ingenious exegitial rationalization of ancient texts, but the kind of transformation into a work of piety and art that Nan Merrill provides.

One of the most talented and unique filmmakers of all time, Robert Altman -- with his preference for offbeat characters, experimental techniques, and improvisation -- has produced a succession of artistically outstanding films. From MASH to Popeye, Nashville to The Player, Altman is that rare Hollywood filmmaker who will not compromise his vision. In Robert Altman: Hollywood Survivor, Daniel O'Brien gives a concise overview of the entire career and examines the reasons for Altman's rise and fall from critical acclaim, concluding with the big comeback of the 1990s.

How to Understand the Virgin Mary

This book is an insightful and convincing interpretation of Jung’s encounter with Christianity. In the last 20 years of his life, Jung wrote extensively on the Trinity, the Mass, alchemy, and the Bible, in what Murray Stein understands as his effort to help Christianity evolve into its next stage of development. Here, Stein provides a comprehensive analysis of Jung’s writings on Christianity in relation to his personal life, psychological thought, and efforts to transform Western religion.
The book is beautifully written, tightly argued, intellectually satisfying in every way. It provides an illuminating overview of Jung's life and thought and can be recommended for both beginning students and scholars of Jung's thought as a faithful reading.
 -ANNE CARR, Associate Professor of Theology, University of Chicago Divinity School
This is a literate and lucid treatment of an undeniably central aspect of Jung's later work, based on an admirable wide ranging store of the literature, both what is considered orthodox and much that, happily, is well beyond the limitations of that term.
 -WILLIAM McGUIRE, Author of Bollingen, An Adventure in Collecting the Past
Stein makes a dramatic, important, and novel interpretation of Jung's encounter with Christianity. His argument is lucid, careful, and persuasive. He asks seriously, in a way Jung could respect, why Jung wrote what he did about religion.
 -JAMES DITTES, Professor of Pastoral Theology and Psychology, Yale University
Stein's design of Jung as therapist of Christianity works extremely well. All this is used brilliantly. I couldn't stop reading, didn't want to, am glad I didn't, learned a lot."
 -EUGENE GENDLIN, Associate Professor, Department of Behavioral Sciences, University of Chicago, Author of Focusing
