Robert J. Schreiter brings together acute analyses of the Christian
world mission agenda by astute observers of both church and world.
In six chapters -- including Schreiter's own essay on a new
ecumenical catholicity and a seventh by him on the status of the
global Christian mission agenda, focusing especially on the
Catholic role in mission -- the reader is taken on a trip that
reveals how globalization entails both local and international
responses.
John Paul II: The Encyclicals in Everyday Language, an Orbis
bestseller, now includes the Pope's most recent encyclical Fides et
Ratio ("Faith and Reason"). Father Donders gives us the gist of
this complex encyclical and the twelve that preceded it in
easy-to-read sense lines. In a penetrating epilogue entitled "The
Man and the Message", Father Donders offers a profound
interpretation of John Paul II's legacy and the unity of his
thirteen encyclicals. Here Donders shows that the pope's teaching
is best understood as an expression of his fundamental intuition
into the meaning of Christianity.
