Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most famous and influential human
being who has ever lived on earth. In the Historical Dictionary of
Jesus, author Daniel J. Harrington delves into the ancient literary
sources about Jesus, modern methods of approaching these sources,
the major events in Jesus' life, persons and places associated with
him, the form and content of his teachings, what can be said about
his death and the claim that he was raised from the dead, and the
contributions of major modern scholars to the quest of the
historical Jesus. The book consists of three parts: an introduction
to the major topics pertaining to Jesus as a historical figure; a
cross-referenced dictionary containing 400 entries on a range of
topics, including things Jesus did and said, ancient sources of
historical data, and modern scholarship and interpretation; and a
bibliography listing some of the most important books related to
Jesus and the world in which he lived. This concise and objective
reference work provides a clear and accurate introduction to the
study of Jesus as a historical figure.
In Paul and Virtue Ethics, Daniel Harrington and James Keenan build
upon their successful collaboration Jesus and Virtue Ethics to
discuss the apostle Paul's teachings as a guide to interpret
theology and ethics today. Examining Paul's writings, the authors
investigate what they teach about the basic questions of virtue
ethics: Who am I?; Who do I want to become?; And how do I get
there? Their intent is not to provide stringent rules, but to
awaken discovery and encourage dialogue. The book first considers
the concept of virtue ethics_an approach to ethics that emphasizes
moral character_and Paul's ethics in particular. Next, the authors
focus on the virtues of faith, love/charity, and hope as treated by
Paul and Thomas Aquinas. Closing the book with reflections on the
roles of other virtues (and vices) in individual and communal
Christian life, the authors discuss various issues in social ethics
and sexual morality as they are dealt with in Paul and in Christian
virtue ethics today.
Do Catholics really read the Bible? If so, how do they read it and
is there anything unique about their approach? What role does the
Bible play in Catholic life, teaching, and culture? As a leading
Scripture scholar who also teaches students and preaches to
everyday people, Fr. Daniel Harrington, S.J., has made it his
life's mission to answer these and many related questions about the
Bible and its relationship to Catholic life. Accessibly written,
How Do Catholics Read the Bible? blends biblical scholarship with
compelling personal anecdotes to equip readers with the tools they
need to more fully engage Scripture and the Catholic tradition.
With chapters on how the Catholic canon came to be, what the Church
teaches about the Bible, appropriate methods for analyzing
Scripture passages, and how to incorporate the Bible into everyday
life, this book is ideal for individual or group use in parishes
and classrooms. Each chapter concludes with questions for
reflection and recommendations for further reading.
