| Koinonia has great value for everyone concerned with the Church's role in the modern world and the place of religious communities in her mission, but is a necessity for those superiors of religious communities who guide the forces of renewal."Rev. Zachary Grant, O.F.M. Cap.Author of Paths to Renewal In Koinonia's four parts, Ciardi first looks at New Testament roots of community, then studies the theological and spiritual development of community life further considers it theological basis, and finally outlines a methodology for living out and renewing the life of communion. This is a work of great scholarship, one that will in equal measure inspire and enlighten the reader. It speaks specifically to men and women living in community life (religious, members of secular institutes and lay movements) but has much to offer to anyone seriously interested in the spiritual life.Fabio Ciardi O.M.I. teaches at the Claretianum Institute in Rome and lectures in various Roman faculties. He has written extensively on religious life and has a particular interest in exploring the theological dimensions of spirituality. |

| Edited by Bro. Francis Mary, F.I. The most in-depth book yet on the life and work of the great modern martyr of charity and Marian Saint, Maximilian Kolbe, whom Pope John Paul II called "The Saint of our difficult century". Over ten authors, including foremost Mariologists Fr. Peter Fehlner, Fr. James McCurry, Fr. Jerzy Domanski, and Mark Miravalle have contributed insightful and inspiring chapters that plumb the depths of Kolbe's multi-faceted life, holiness and profound Marian spirituality. This book explains the controversial misrepresentation of Kolbe as anti-Semitic, his insights and strong stand against Freemasonry, and his unique, powerful Marian teachings that have made him the "prophet of the Immaculata". Missionary, theologian, writer, publisher, founder of Marytown, Marian mystic, and martyr of charity in Auschwitz, St. Maximilian Kolbe shines through the pages of this powerful book, and the reader will see why Kolbe will soon be regarded as one of the greatest saints in Church history, truly a man for all times. Illustrated with over 40 photos. |

| A practically organized survey of biblical and theological concepts-everything from "Abiding in Christ" to "Zion." Avoiding theological jargon, this reference work provides succinct explanations of issues in Scripture, including a thorough list of the texts that apply to each point for hundreds of subjects. Each entry is a concise survey of how a word or idea is used, as well as how different texts relate. The result is a book that is part topical analysis, part concise biblical and systematic theology, and part word study. Written for laypersons, pastors, and Bible students, Kregel Dictionary of the Bible and Theology avoids complex descriptions of modern ideas and controversies but illustrates the interpretive bases from which the terms have been created. At the same time, it provides pastors with text-based descriptions for sermons or teaching. While the author supports his own dispensational viewpoint, readers of all theological schools of thought will benefit from this solid, systematic overview of biblical content. "It is difficult to think of a more valuable single tool for understanding the manifold teachings of Scripture that help us to view reality and live life from God's perspective. . . . For the person who often asks, or should ask 'what does the Bible say about this' . . . the Kregel Dictionary of the Bible and Theology is a storehouse of treasures." |
