In this brief book, biblical translator Robert Alter offers a personal and passionate account of what he learned about the art of Bible translation during the two decades he spent completing his own English version of the Hebrew Bible.
Showing why the Bible and its meaning can be brought to life in English only by re-creating the subtle and powerful literary style of the original text, Alter discusses the principal aspects of biblical Hebrew that any translator should try to reproduce: word choice, syntax, word play and sound play, rhythm, and dialogue.
In the process, he provides an illuminating and accessible introduction to biblical style that also offers insights about the art of translation far beyond the Bible.

Description:
Focusing on the Byzantine East and Roman West, this book seeks to remove obstacles to the more complete expression and recognition of Christian unity.
It includes practical reflections and recommendations for best practices in the reception of baptized Christians and proposes a reformed Rite for the Reception of Baptized Christians that is more faithful to history and ecumenically sensitive.
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, a foundational tool in the formation of Jesuits, has become widely popular as the basis for spiritual direction and discernment among Christians. In a sequence of meditations on the life, mission, and passion of Christ, the Exercises direct a person to engage in a process of self-examination and ongoing conversion to the Gospel. This involves a focus on one's personal sin and desire for repentance.
In this reading of the Exercises, Roger Haight takes as a reference point the social sin of racism. This approach not only offers a Christological lens for understanding the reality of racism in America, but outlines a socially-informed understanding of what conversion and discipleship mean in a racist situation.

Description:
Many Catholic universities in the United States have put their Catholic mission at risk--by either ceding to secular neoliberal values or by doubling down on reactionary Catholic tribalism. Student enrollment declines as some schools market themselves no differently than secular colleges. Other, conversely, neo-traditionalist Catholic colleges ally themselves with regressive elements of the Church. Both trends, Faggioli says, reflect a dismantling of Vatican II's vision for Catholic education.
Scrutinizing this crisis in detail, Massimo Faggioli reviews the snowballing changes in Catholic higher education, advocating for a renewed incarnational and sacramental Catholic educational philosophy that rejects accommodation to secular technocracy as well as Catholic tribalism in order to embody the inclusive, socially conscious values of the Catholic tradition as expressed in the theology of Vatican II.
