"For years I had been looking for a way to heal the split between the academic study of the Scriptures and the issues of life.  For it was the Bible's way of addressing me that had led me into biblical scholarship in the first place.  The sharing of those life-shaking truths was the very vocation to which I had felt so unmistakably called.  For a time my generation of scholars was able to light our lamps at the fading flames of what Barth and Bultmann had achieved.  When we were on our own, however, it was back to academic scholarship-as-usual.  Even our concern for 'biblical theology' was largely academic; we assumed that pastors and laity could make the connections to their own lives.  More disastrously, we assumed that the ideas were all that counted, all that had to be applied.  So we were a little hurt, and considerably mystified, when a growing chorus of voices outside academia insisted that what we were doing was not addressing human existence." "It was not until I became a parish minister in southeast Texas, however, that I recognized how profound this split had become.  There, faced with the need to speak meaningfully twice a week from the biblical tradition, I discovered how isolated scholars had become from the pressures of living, how little of what they found fit to say had any applicability to preaching, to counseling, to the human struggles of those who regarded the Bible as somehow the key to life." "This was the pattern: scholars to the one side--like musicians so enamored of technique that they only practice scales; clergy and laity to the other--like people who love music but are too busy to learn to play." (excerpts from Chapter 1: Transformed by the Renewal of Our Minds)  

Transforming Bible Study

WALTER WINK

Taize began in great solitude. Between 1940 and 1942, Brother Roger, on his own and still young, was hiding political refugees while preparing the creation of a monastic community. Fifty years later, the name of Taize is known across the world, and is a synonym for peace, reconciliation and prayer. Week in, week out, thousands of young people go to that small village in Burgundy on pilgrimage. This small book contains what is perhaps the secret of this extraordinary adventure of faith. Christ's love makes those who give their lives to him more human; he makes them welcoming towards everyone. These pages are  a kind of personal letter addressed to each reader. As he indicates the essential elements of a life rooted in trust in God. Taize's founder looks for the expression that goes right to the heart of the person he is speaking to. There is not a word in this book that he has not first tested in his own life. Yet he is constantly pursued by one question: 'Have I managed to express clearly enough that God is love alone, never punishes, does not wish anyone to suffer, and loves every single human being without exception?" The book is completely by the text of the address to the brothers by John Paul II during his visit to Taize in October 1986 and a short historical sketch of Taize.

<p>He Leadeth Me is the deeply moving personal story of one man's spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survive the horrendous ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse.Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a "Vatican spy," American Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent some 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. He here recalls how it was only through an utter reliance on God's will that he managed to endure. He tells of the courage he found in prayer-a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustrations, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the "arrogance of evil" that surrounded him. Learning to accept even the inhuman work of toiling in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God, he was able to turn adverse forces into a</p>
