"I am very happy with Jesus in the Gospels and Acts: Introducing the New Testament and plan to use it again in the fall. Students found it readable and accessible. The content is in every way ecumenical and reflects the consensus of biblical scholarship without any trace of doctrinal bias. This text will work in almost any university classroom. It doesn’t ignore the more esoteric scholarly debates, but focuses on what really matters in an undergraduate religion course. I recommend it without reservation.”
-Ian J. ScottAdjunct Professor of Religious Studies
"Father Givey brings to life once again the man, the monk, and the mystic who helped to shape the soul of his own generation and who continues to offer a vision of 'peace for the future'"
-Very Reverend David M. O'Connell, CM, PresidentThe Catholic University of America
“The NAB translation works well in the classroom, but the Saint Mary's Press® College Study Bible includes maps, charts, graphs, and small articles that really invite and engage the students. The scholars behind this project were well versed in current biblical scholarship yet knew how to make it accessible to the students we find in our classrooms.”
-Brian M. Doyle, PhDAssociate Professor of TheologyMarymount University, Arlington, VA
“Perhaps the best test of a book is how students respond. My students found Who Would Jesus Kill? to be informative and engaging. They appreciated the broad historical overview of Christian perspectives on war and how these views shape our current reflections on war and peace. Allman’s text is clear, relevant, and thought provoking as the title suggests. If you want a textbook that will get your students thinking about the ethical issues related to war, the use of violence, and the search for peace this is one to choose.”
-Dr. Ron LargeProfessor of Religious Studies Gonzaga University
"Celia Deane-Drummond's new book provides a wonderful resource for those who are new to ecological theology as well as for those who have been long involved. She maps the field in a way that is accessible and user-friendly. Her approach is critical, intelligent, and learned, the fruit of her grounding in science as well as in theology, and of love for creation as well as her strong commitment to the Christian tradition."
-The Rev. Dr. Denis EdwardsUniversity of Flinders, Australia
"What a stroke of good fortune to discover Sr. Marielle Frigge's Beginning Biblical Studies! Thorough, lucid, engagingly written and visually appealing, this book makes a teacher's job easier. While supplying the critical mass of clear, reliable information that makes basic sense of what's going on, it leaves students ample time to read the Bible itself. Offering guidance to the biblical texts rather than overly detailed explanations that compete with them, Beginning Biblical Studies expertly builds a strong foundation for further study. Highly recommended!"
-Michael Cameron, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Historical TheologyUniversity of Portland
“I have tried using many different texts for this course: this is the BEST one I have ever found, so I am sticking with it. Martin Albl and I evidently share some of the same intellectual, theological, and pedagogical genes.”
-Rev. Msgr. James M. Cafone, S.T.D.Seton Hall University
"WHO WOULD JESUS KILL?
One of my student summed it up nicely: This book helped me understand the Christian views on war and peace across the ages. It also helped me see how Judaism and Islam view war and peace. Not only was it interesting, it was helpful."
-Dr. Paul R. Semers, S.C., D.Min.Rivier College
“Martin Albl has written a very helpful text for teachers of fundamental theology or introduction to theology courses. Reason, Faith, and Tradition is accessible and also scholarly, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. Apparent throughout is Dr. Albl’s conviction that faith and reason are not only compatible but necessary for sound intellectual development. Undergrads and entry level grad students alike will learn much from Albl’s post-critical theology.”
-Benjamin J. BrownAssistant Professor of Theological StudiesLourdes College
"A well researched and reflective account of the position of women in ecclesiastical and secular society, in the past and present. Verena Wright, wife, mother and 'unruly' woman uses literature, her own experience and other sources to discern and tell the story of women's inferior status."
-Mary Kelly, nds
"Encountering Ancient Voices [First Edition] has been the most effective Old Testament introduction I have used. More than most introductions, it propels students into the biblical text itself, guiding their study by both essential information and stimulating questions. It becomes a textbook students cannot ignore, yet which never replaces the Bible."
-Dr. Robert D. Miller IIAssociate Professor of Old Testament The Catholic University of America
"Green Discipleship will be a wonderful textbook for teachers and students. Faculty will find that the twenty-one essays cover a wide range of topics for a course on theology and the environment. Undergraduate students will find the essays written in a style that is accessible and with content that is informative. Helpful features that include review and reflection questions, an extensive glossary of terms, a bibliography, and an essay on library research make this volume a first-rate educational resource."
-Kenneth R. Himes, OFM Department of Theology Boston College
