The Collegeville Pastoral Dictionary of Biblical Theology

 by Carroll Stuhlmueller  ( Editor )

This Indian edition of The Collegeville Pastoral Dictionary of Biblical Theology is a very important reference book in the field of Bible and Pastoral Theology. It was planned and edited by the late Carroll Stuhlmueller, an outstanding biblical scholar in USA. It is a Pastoral Dictionary, intended not primarily for the scholar or academician but for priests, religious and teachers at all levels, and educated laity, who in a variety of settings want to deepen their understanding of the Bible and its proper place within the life of the Church. The articles in this Dictionary not only consider the Bible in itself, but where appropriate, also trace biblical themes and motifs as they have become absorbed and interpreted within the teaching of the Church and its pastoral practice. At the same time, the emphasis of this Dictionary is emphatically biblical. In this dictionary there are seven introductory articles related to the various aspects of biblical studies, hundreds of major articles, some secondary articles as well as brief entries. The book is designed to be a great help to preaching and liturgy preparation, classroom teaching and learning as well as Bible Study and reflection.

The Church and the Bible

Official Documents of the Catholic Church

The 2nd Revised and Enlarged Edition 2007:

Edited  by Dennis J. Murphy MSC 

The Church and the Bible is a resource book that all branches of theology will find useful: not only Bible Studies, but dogmatic, moral, liturgical, pastoral and spiritual theology. Typical examples are the Pontifical Biblical Commission’s studies of Christology, the church, interpretation of the Bible, and the Jewish people and their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible, all made available here in one volume in English. These, and other documents, are indispensable resources for students of current theology, as well as those interested in history. A long introduction gives the historical context of the documents as well as the norms to be used in interpreting them. Care is also taken to explain their various levels of authority in order to avoid the danger that the same value be given to all of them indiscriminately.

This second edition has added fourteen documents. The introduction and background sections have been revised and largely rewritten. The collection now contains the four major studies that the Pontifical Biblical Commission has published in recent years: Sacred Scripture and Christology (1983), Unity and Diversity in the Church (1988), The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church (1993), and the Jewish People and their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible (2001).

The Bible on Culture

by Lucien Legrand

This is a timely and thoughtful book that charts the complex and multi-faceted relationship between the Bible and its cultural contexts and their implications for Christianity’s relationship to culture today. The author, a noted biblical scholar, who also has extensive mission experience, selects, several key biblical traditions and historical periods to illumine his topics, such as Israel’s relationship to Canaanite culture, Jesus in his own Jewish context, and Paul as both Jew and citizen of the Roman empire. The biblical peoples and traditions both stood over against culture and were immersed in it, often at the same time. Legrand’s study helps offset any tendencies to impose a single model of Christianity everywhere.

The Cultural Context of the Old Testament

by Rui de Menezes S.J.

The cultural context of the Old Testament highlights for the reader the various cultural trends and traditions that go into the making of the books of the Old Testament. From the ancient Sumero-Akkadian myths to Wisdom literatures of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the law codes of the Sumerians, Babylonians and the Hittites, the authors of the Old Testament are continuously influenced and enriched by non-Israelite cultures and traditions. The challenges of adaptation and inculturation existing in our society today were equally daunting and familiar to those writers in their days.

The present book brings home to the reader in a concise and easily readable manner a wealth of information about the ancient cultures, religions and geographies of the Old Testament times. Scholars, students and interested readers will find the book stimulating and enriching. No doubt this valuable book will enhance the reader’s understanding of the complexities of the Old Testament.

Translated by Thomas Esposito, OCist. And Stephen Gregg, OCist. Foreword by Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller

b) The truth of the Word of God, emphasizing the message about God and his project of salvation.

The Bible for Theology: Ten Principles for the Theological Use of Scripture

By Gerald O’Collins, S.J., and Daniel Kendall, S.J.

In leading readers into this book it should be stated that this book is not attempting to write a history of modern biblical interpretation. This book has chosen the theme, the use of the Christian scriptures in Christian theology, or rather the way the scriptures should put theology “on the move”- something which has always been challenging but for different reasons. For much of Christian history theologians and biblical interpreters were identical; the same persons faced the task both of exegeting the whole Bible and translating it into their theology. In the last century or two scriptural scholars and systematic theologians have normally belonged to distinct specializations. It is out of this new development that this joint work has been developed.

Passion: Contemporary writers on the story of Calvary

Edited by Oliver Larry Yarbrough.

The gospel narratives of Jesus’ passion and death hold a unique place in Christian devotion. In this book five distinguished American writers wrestle with these narratives in ways that draw readers more closely into the texts. In writing on Luke, for example, Stephanie Saldana, who lives and writes in Jerusalem, takes the reader to the sites of Holy Week, meditating on the story and her experiences of living in a torn city. Julia Alvarez begins with her memories of the Stations of the Cross as a young girl in the Dominican Republic and then reflects on how reading the Gospel of Mark makes her look more carefully at the stories behind the Stations. John Elder contrasts the tension and anger in Matthew’s story with the vision of Jesus he learned from the family. Jay Parini reflects on the ways he has read the Gospel of John at different stages of his life. Finally, Elizabeth Cook wrestles with the challenge of rewriting the Passion for the twenty-first century, not for readers but for audience who hear her libretto sung to very contemporary music.

Riches of His Grace: Studies on Johannine and Pauline Literature.
A Festschrift for Professor Dr. Aloysius Xavier.

Edited by P. Joseph Titus, S. Stanislas, M. David Stanly Kumar and A. Alfred Joseph.

This 470 pages book is a Festschrift written in honour of Professor Emeritus Dr. Aloysius Xavier, a former Professor of New Testament at St. Peter’s Pontifical Institute, Bangalore, published on the occasion of his Sacerdotal Jubilee. The Festschrift titled “Riches of His Grace” contains Studies in Johannine and Pauline Literature in the New Testament, which are close to the heart and mind of Prof. Aloysius Xavier. Saint John and Saint Paul, the two eminent theologians of the Early Church, deal with the abundance of God’s grace given to the humanity and to the world at large through Jesus Christ. Grace is the freely given gift of vertical and horizontal relationship given by God through Jesus Christ, through which we live in close union with God and humans. John writes: “The Law (as a basis of relationship) was given through Moses; grace and truth (true relationship) came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).

This book will doubtless stand as a landmark in the development of missiology. This book deserves the attention of wide reading public. It will inspire discoveries and sustain prayer.
