Dear Friends,
Orbis Books is the publishing arm of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, which this yearmarks the centenary of its foundation in 1911. Our vital relationship with Maryknoll isrecognized in every book, wherein we note, Orbis seeks to explore the global dimensions ofChristian faith and mission, to invite dialogue with diverse cultures and religious traditions,and to serve the cause of reconciliation and peace.
A ll those themes are reflected in this catalog. There are books about the life of Jesusand his peace message throughout history. There are titles on Africa, Christian-Muslim
dialogue, poverty in America and climate change, as well as the voices of modern prophetslike Dorothy Day, Abraham Heschel, Martin Luther King, Thomas Berry, and ThomasMerton. There are titles that address the joyful as well as anguishing aspects of the humancondition, including the mysteries of suffering and death.
A ll of these themes are reflected in the spir it of M aryknolla spir it described in FatherJoe Venerosos new book, Mirrors of Grace: The Spirit and Spiritualities of Maryknoll( facing page) .
To all our friends, we invite you to join us in saying thanks to Maryknoll, and thanks to
God for M aryknoll, in its centenary year, with hopes that our mission will continue to growand prosper.
Blessings,Robert Ellsberg

Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.
In words and pictures, a beautiful celebration of
the ideas that motivate Maryknoll missioners to
serve the poor around the world.
M
aryknoll Fathers and Brothers have
travelled to every corner of the earth to
spread the gospel for 100 years. What is
the spirituality that motivates and sustains them?
In this beautiful celebration of their life and the
lives of those they live among, Fr. Joseph Veneroso
shows how these missioners are in fact two-way
mirrors. They reflect the love of Christ for all of us
by their example, and the holiness, goodness, and
beauty they see in the lives of the people they serve.
What they see and experience overseas alsoprofoundly affects and changes them. For
Maryknollers, all peoples are partners on an exciting
spiritual journeywhich we are all called to share.
Mirrors of Graceshines a light on spiritual ideas that
can uplift all of us. Filled with true stories and full-
color pictures of Maryknollers in action, it will
inspire us to express that spirit wherever we happen
to be.
Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.,is a Maryknoll priest
and the former publisher ofMaryknollmagazine. He
is the author of God in Unexpected Places (Orbis,
2007) andGood News for Today (Orbis, 2009).

Think and Act AnewHow Pover t y in Amer ica Af fect s Us Al l

Larry Snyder
Foreword by E. J. Dionne, Jr.
Reducing poverty by half in America by 2020.
More than 40 million Americans today fit
the standard definition of poora
definition that hasnt been revised in 50
yearsand 9.25 million of them were served by
Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) 2008-2009. InThink and Act A new,CCUSA President Fr. Larry
Synder shows how the near collapse of the American
economy impacts people from all walks of life
and how it provides the United States with an

encyclicals,Think and Act Anewoffers facts, insights,and inspiration for all people. AsWashington Post
columnist E. J. Dionne, Jr. writes in his Foreword,
Anyone (again, including non-Catholics) looking
for the place to start the debate we need to have in
the wake of the financial crisis would do well to
begin exactly where Fr. Snyder does.
Think and Act Anew challenges individuals,
businesses, and governments to examine their roles,accountability, and potential to change our nations
courseand then to act to ensure that these lessons
are not lost.
Larry Snyder is president of Catholic Charities
USA and oversees its program to reduce poverty
by half in America by 2020. A member of the
Presidents Council of Faith-based and Neighbor-
hood Partnerships, Fr. Snyder has been recognizedby The Nonpro t T imesas one of its Power and

Provides honest answers to perennial questions:
How can a good God allow evil in the world? What
does it all mean? Where lies happiness?
A
masterful teacher addresses the perennial
questions about God, suffering, and evil,
and offers authentic, sincere, and informed
answers. Based on sound theology and made real
with personal experiences of the author and others
through the ages, Life Is Hard, But God Is Good
offers understanding and consolation.
The author goes to the heart of the matter in
exploring the dilemma of why bad things happen to
good people, and where God isor isntin all of
this. The strength of the book is its existentialapproach: it hits the topic where the rubber meets
the road. It speaks directly to individuals who are
asking these questions for specific reasons. It is
perfect for personal reading and for group use.

This Our Exil eA Spir it ual Jour ney wit h t he Refugees of East Afr ica
James Martin, S.J.With a new A fterword by the author
A new edition of the first book by the best-selling author
of My Life with the Saintsand The Jesuit Guide to
(Almost) Everything.
Cat hol ic Book Awa r d in Past or al Minist r y
An alert observer, a humble learner, and a
sympathetic listener, James Martin is alsoa first-rate storyteller . . . . His spiritual
journey becomes ours in this stirring, joy-filled,
beautiful book.
Ron Hansen, author,M ariette in Ecstasy
A cant-put-it down page-turner . . . . You will learn
about sorrow and injustice on a scale you can
scarcely imagine. But you will also witness the
triumph of faith and love and the human spirit.Cathol ic News Service
Seamlessly combining spiritual writing, reportage,
travel narrative, humor, and recent history, best-
selling author James Martin recalls his time as a
young Jesuit working with the refugees in the slums
of Nairobi, Kenya. Drawing on his previous
experience in the business world, he imagined that
he had much to teach the refugees. But they wouldend up teaching him much more about life, about
survival and faith, and about love and friendship.
With stories that are by turns frankly incredible,
darkly comic, inspirational, tragic, and always
provocative, this compelling work is a wonderfully
realized tribute to our shared humanity.
James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, culture editor
ofAmericamagazine, and the author of many books
including the New York Times best-seller The Jesuit
Guide to (A lmost) Everything: A Spir ituality for Real
Life(HarperOne, 2010) andMy Life with the Saints
(Loyola, 2007), which has sold over 100,000 copies.
A frequent commentator on NPR, a recurring guest
as chaplain to the Comedy Channels The
Colbert Report, and a blogger on The Huf ngton
Post , he is widely regarded as one of the most popularCatholic writers today.

Two practitioners of interfaith dialogue provide
readers with a guide for Catholics and Muslims to
reach greater mutual understanding and work for
social justice.
Taking up the story of the peaceful encounter
between St. Francis of Assisi and Sultan
Malik al-Kamil in Damietta, Egypt in 1219,
the authors aim to increase basic understanding of
one anothers beliefs between Christians and
Muslims. Further, they show how Christians and
Muslims can draw on values common to both
traditions to work together to build more just and
peaceful communities.
In clear, accessible language the book describes the
core beliefs of both Christians and Muslims. Then,
after demonstrating how both the Bible and Quran
call for actions that promote the common good and
love of neighbor, Dardess and Mich suggest practical
ways for Muslims and Christians to come together
to address the pressing needs of our world today.
A permanent deacon in the Roman Catholic
Church, George Dardess is a member of theMuslimCatholic Alliance of Rochester and is
author of three books on Muslim-Christian
dialogue: Meeting Islam: A Guide for Christians
(Paraclete, 2005), andDo We Worship the Same God:
Comparing the Bible and the Quran (St. Anthony
Messenger, 2006). He lives in Rochester, New York.
President of the Greater Rochester Community of
Churches, Marvin L. Krier Mich is director ofSocial Policy at the Catholic Family Center, a
regional office of Catholic Charities. His books
include Catholic Social Teaching and Movements
(Twenty-Third, 1998) and The Challenge and

Selections from the writings of the leading J ewish
theologian and philosopher of the 20th century,
edited by his daughter.
I
f you want to know God, sharpen your sense
of the human.Abraham Joshua Heschel
Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) was oneof the great religious teachers and moral prophets of
our time. Born in Warsaw to a long line of Hasidic
rabbis, he chose instead to study philosophy in
Germany. Expelled back to Warsaw, he escaped just
weeks before the Nazi invasion and settled in the
United States. Through a series of books he
contributed greatly to the spiritual renewal of
Judaism. But he exerted an equal influence onChristians, so much that he was called another
apostle to the gentiles.
A passionate champion of interfaith dialogue, he
served as an official observer at Vatican II and was
influential in challenging the Catholic Church to
overcome the legacy of anti-Semitism. He raised a
prophetic challenge to the social issues of his day,
marching with Martin Luther King and protestingthe Vietnam war. His writings here on prayer, God,
prophecy, the human condition, and the spiritual
life vividly communicate his instinct for the holy
dimension of all existence.
Susannah Heschel, the daughter of Abraham
Heschel, is the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies
at Dartmouth College. Her many books includeThe
Aryan Jesus: Christian T heologians and the Bible inNazi Germany (Princeton, 2008) and Abraham
Geiger and the Jewish Jesus(Chicago, 1998). She is
the editor of Moral Grandeur & Spir itual Audacity:

Lessons from modern saintsCatholics and
Protestantsthat illuminate the relation between how
we die and how we live.
D
ying is the most general human event,
something we all have to do. But do we
do it well? Is our own death more thanan unavoidable fate that we simply wish would not
be? Can it somehow become an act of fulfillment,
perhaps more human than any other human act?
Henri Nouwen
All of us face the prospect of deathif not this day,
then one day. But most of us would rather defer that
thought indefinitely. Earlier generations of
Christians studied classicars moriendimanuals onthe art of dyingto help them face and embrace
mortality. They learned from these books something
our own generation is in danger of forgetting: that
the manner in which one dies very much depends
on the manner in which one has lived.
Kerry Walters offers a new take on an old theme,
exploring the connection between living and dying
well by recounting the stories of nine exemplarymen and women of our time and the particular
virtues they embodied.
From Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Sister Thea
Bowman, Etty Hillesum, Civil Rights martyr
Jonathan Daniels, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pope John
Paul II, and Caryll Houselander, we learn lessons
about love, trust, gratitude, patience, courage, and
hospitality. These lessons teach us something abouthow to die. But mostly they show us what it means
to truly live.
Kerry Walters is a professor of philosophy and
peace and justice studies at Gettysburg College. He
is the author of many books, including Atheism: A
Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum, 2010) and
Practicing Presence: The Spirituality of Caring in
Everyday Life(Sheed & Ward, 2001).

Gathers together for the first time some of the most
brilliant and controversial journalism of the 20th
century by a high-profile public intellectual and
convert to Catholicism
Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) was one
of the English-speaking worlds most
fascinating literary figures. His writing
dazzles with its prophetic insight, courage, and wit.
He was the first writer to reveal the true nature of
Stalins regime when in 1933 he exposed the terror
famine in the Ukraine. Four decades later,
Muggeridge was to make the work of Mother Teresa
of Calcuttawho contributed a Foreword to this
book during the initial stages of its research
known all over the world.
This enthralling collection of Muggeridges
journalism reveals the astonishing range and
steadiness of his gaze. Muggeridge seems to have
been present at the great turning points of the last
century and to have known, and seen through, the
pretensions of many of its protagonists. Painstakingly
researched from among Muggeridges private papers,
journals, letters and unpublished works, Time and
Eternityoffers unique and inspirational insight into
the professional and private journey of one of the
great writers of our time.
Nicholas Flynnwas a friend of Malcolm Muggeridge
in the final decade of his life and is an authority on
his work. He is a writer, painter, and musician who
has written for The Independent newspaper and
Guitar International. He lives in London.

Jim Forests book about Dorothy Day is much likethe grand lady herself: disarming in simplicity of
approach and statement, but awesome in cumulative
effect.John Deedy,Commonweal
Dorothy Day (1897-1980), founder of the Catholic
Worker movement, and one of the most prophetic
voices in the American Catholic Church, has
recently been proposed as a candidate for
canonization. In this lavishly illustrated biography,Jim Forest provides a compelling portrait of her
heroic efforts to live out the radical message of the
Gospel for our time.
A journalist and social reformer in her youth, Day
surprised her friends with the decision in 1927 to
enter the Roman Catholic Church. In the Catholic
Worker, which she launched in 1933, she found a
way to combine her faith with her compellingcommitment to the poor and social justice.
Day and those who joined her devoted themselves
to the Works of Mercy while struggling to create a
new society where it is easier to be good. An
ardent pacifist, Day was frequently arrested for her
protests in the cause of peace and for the rights of
workers.
Drawing on Days recently published diaries and
letters, Forest chronicles her extraordinary journey,
with special stress on the unique spiritual vision
that underlay her dramatic witness.
Jim Forest, who lives in The Netherlands, is
secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. A
lifelong peacemaker, he is the author of many books,
includingPraying with Icons(Orbis, 2008),The Roadto Emmaus: Pilgrimage as a Way of Life(Orbis, 2007),
and Living with Wisdom: A Life of T homas Merton

A best-selling Trappist monk expresses his joy and
enthusiasm for the lost tradition of spirituality and
craftsmanship of the Shakers.
T
he peculiar grace of a Shaker chair is due
to the fact that it was made by someone
capable of believing that an angel might
come and sit on it.Thomas Merton
Thomas Merton, with his Cistercian instinct for
religious purity, simplicity, and the sacramental
value of work, was, as this illuminating volume
shows, the natural dialogue partner with the
Shakers and their artful work.
Lawrence S. Cunningham, author,
Thomas Merton and the Monastic VisionHis delight in the Shakers and his admiration for
the noble simplicity of their life and work shine
through the pages of this very readable book.
William H. Shannon, author,
Silent Lamp: The Thomas Merton Story
Through this beautiful and inspiring volume the
American soul is laid bare to challenge us . . . to
dance to a more joyful and worthy tune.M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O.
In these essays, talks, and a stunning selection of his
own photographs, Thomas Merton hauntingly
evokes the spirituality of a uniquely American sect.
Largely remembered today for a legacy of
extraordinary craftsmanship, the Shakers espoused
a way of life, as Merton shows, with surprising
relevance for today. In their approach to work as aform of worship, in their practice of community,
their simplicity and rejection of violence, and their
profound witness to the Kingdom of God, Merton
finds lessons for all Christians.
Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O., who died in 1968, was
a Trappist monk and one of the great spiritual
writers of the twentieth century.
Paul M. Pearson is director and archivist of the
Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine College,

Reflections on Christianity, the sacred community of

prophets of our age.

Thomas Berry. It is as though these
essays embody the bonding force hecalls the Great Compassionate Curve of the
universe.Catherine Keller
A highly readable gem.Catholi c L ibrary Worl d
Inspiring, often lyrical.St. Anthony M essenger
Like no other religious thinker, Thomas Berry has
been a prophetic voice regarding Earths destruction
and the urgent need for human response from the
Christian community. This book collects Berrys
signature views on the interrelatedness of both
Earths future and the Christian future. He ponders
why Christians have been late in coming to the
issue of the environment. He reflects insightfully on
how the environment must be seen as a religious
issue, not simply a scientific or economic problem.
In powerful and poetic language Berry presents a
compelling vision of the sacredness of the universe
and the interrelatedness of the Earth community.
Drawing on Thomas Aquinas and Teilhard de
Chardin he brings the Christian tradition into a
cosmology of care for the whole of creation.
Thomas Berry, C.P., was a geologian, historian of
religion, and philosopher, a member of the Passionist
order, and the single most important Christian and
Catholic voice on the link between faith, reverence
for all of life, and the environmental crisis. His
many books included The Dream of the Earthand
Evening Thoughts(both Sierra Club Books, 2006).

A powerful warning of the perils of global warming

A courageous book. Paul Collins deploys his
considerable skills as a historian, theologian, and

of the crisis now threatening the Earth.
Sean McDonagh, author,
The Greening of the Church
The recent Gulf oil spill is just the latest depredation
against the planet. From every direction come signs
of global climate change and other forms of
ecological disaster that threaten the future of all
living beings. In this sobering assessment of our
condition, Paul Collins examines the nature of this
crisis and how we got hereincluding a review ofthe mental habits of thought, including religious
worldviews, that have contributed to our dilemma
and continue to inhibit effective action.
As Collins shows, if religious ideas have contributed
to the problem, there are also powerful resources
within the Christian tradition that can help us
both in scripture, and in the work of prophetic
geologians like Thomas Berry and Pierre Teilhardde Chardin. Drawing on these resources, Collins
lays out the elements of a theology aimed at saving
the Earth and ourselves.

Afine reinterpretation of atonement theory
from a liberationist perspective.Roger Haight, Jesus Symbol of God
This classic work of liberation theology explores the
meaning of the Cross, both as it has been interpreted
in the past and how it should be interpreted in the
context of contemporary faith and circumstances.
These particular circumstances include the poverty
and repression, fear and violence under which so
many of the worlds people suffer today. In such aworld, how can the Cross be understood and
preachedand what are the consequences of that
understanding?
When Boff first wrote in the 1970s his immediate
context was military dictatorship, torture, and
violent repression in Latin America. As he notes in
his new Preface, that context must be enlarged
today to include the passion of the Earthacontinuation of the Passion of Christ in our time.
Leonardo Boff is Brazils best-known theologian,
author of more than sixty books on liberation
theology, ecology, and spirituality, including
Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor (Orbis, 1997),

The Emer gent Chr istExpl or ing t he Meaning of Cat hol ic

Ilia Delio
The author of Christ in Evolution continues her
exploration of faith and science in the 21st century.
The most incomprehensible thing about
the universe is that it is comprehensible.
Albert Einstein
Ilia Delio makes fascinating sense of the universe,beginning with the story of cosmic evolution,
coursing through the meaning of God in evolution
and the emergence of Christ, and concluding with
new ways of seeing Christ in all things. As Teilhard
de Chardin did in The Divine M ilieu, Ilia Delio
reveals the sacrament of God at work in the world.
She also explores the spiritual evolution within
each of us and suggests that it will change thecosmos as well as the church. She shows that we are
at a stage in evolution where our choices will
determine what happens next.
The Emergent Christ is an antidote to the new
atheism that says there is no place in evolution for
God, let alone a God of love. It is also a spiritual
tonic for Christians interested in understanding
their place and purpose in this evolving universe.Ilia Delio, O.S.F., is Senior Fellow in Science and
Religion at Woodstock Theological Center,
Georgetown University. She is the winner of the
2000 Templeton Course Award in Science and
Religion, and the author of Christ in Evolution

Shows students how understanding situations of
conflict in the Bible can develop skills for addressing
conflict in the world.
F
rom the Genesis accounts of Adam and Eve
through the Letters of Saint Paul, each of
eleven chapters examines a type of conflictintrapersonal, interpersonal, or between humans
and God, and also a particular themethe nature
of conflict, the role of identity, the need for
forgiveness, the use of power, the potential of
mediation, the skills of negotiation, the possibility
of reconciliation. The goal is to help readers
recognize different aspects of conflict, and learn
how to develop right relationships with one another
and with God.
The biblical accounts include well-known stories of
conflict, such as that of Joseph and his brothers,
Jeremiah and King Zedekiah, David and his wife
Michal, Judith and Holofernes, Moses negotiating
with God over the building of the golden calf, and
the apostle Paul addressing both Gentiles and Jews.
In accessible language and including discussionquestions, suggested readings, and sidebars through-
out, Reading the Bible, Transforming Con ict is a
uniquely attractive, classroom-tested text for
undergraduates and others to explore the Bible and
age-old themes of human conflict.

Demonstrates how understanding environmental
science and theology can provide new resources
for sustaining the Earth.
A
compelling sign of the times is that our
human experience today is defined in part
by increasing ecological degradation.
Given the complexity of these environmental issues,
this book argues that creative and strategic
collaboration between theology and environmental
science is necessary to find and implement practical
solutions.
The authors argue a solid grounding in
environmental science creates an understanding of
the major environmental problems we face: globalclimate change, ozone depletion, depletion of the
earths resources, collapse of biodiversity, over-
population and over-consumption, the presence of
persistent toxins, and the challenges of achieving
sustainability. With humankind contributing to the
source of many of these problems, the book also
explores the many contributions theology can make
to the healing of the worldincluding an
understanding of God as creator and the roles of
nature, grace, sin, and revelation.
With sidebars, discussion questions, and rec-
ommended readings, this book provides students
and professors a text that nurtures both critical
thinking and ethical action.

Ten Afr ican Her oesThe Sweep of Independence in Bl ack Afr ica
Thomas Patr ick Melady and Margaret Badum Melady
Foreword by Ambassador John K. Menzies
The African leaders who ignited independence in black
Africa during the 1960s through the eyes of two

student in Paris, came under the influence of Jesuit
Teilhard de Chardin; Julius K. Nyerere, president of
Tanzania, who, when the White House asked him
to change the date of his appointment with
President Nixon, politely declined. It was more
important, he told Henry Kissinger, for him to keep
his appointment with the Maryknoll Sisters who
were helping the women of Tanzania. And
Ahmadou Ahidijo, the black Muslim leader of
Cameroon who was a model of positive interfaith
relations.
Also profiled here: Kenneth David Kaunda of
Zambia; Seretse Khama of Botswana; Thomas
Joseph Mboya of Kenya; Holden Roberto of Angola;
Eduardo C. Mondlane of Mozambique; William V.S. Tubman of Liberia; and Sylvanus Olympio of

Pr ophet ic Dial ogueRefl ect ions on Chr ist ian Mission Today
Stephen B. Bevans and Roger P. Schroeder
A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be
effective in the twenty-first century, mission must be
prophetic as it encounters other cultures and religious
traditions.
When we speak of mission as dialogue,
then, we are about as far away fromimagining mission as conquering the
world for Christ and missionaries as marines of the
Catholic Church as we probably can get. There has
indeed been a radical shift, both in the world in
which the church does mission and within the
churchs own consciousness of the goodness and
even holiness of that world. These words from one
of the essays in this superb collection clearly
demonstrate the changing view of mission today.
In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder
address a primary challenge faced by Christians
missioners today: How can they bring the Christian
tradition to interact respectfully and effectively
with members of other cultures and traditions from
around the globe and still be prophetic?
Stephen B. Bevans, S.V.D., is the Louis J. Luzbetak,S.V.D., Professor of Theology and Culture at

of Models of Contextual Theology (Orbis, 1992), An

Karl J. Becker and Ilaria Morali, editorswith the collaboration of M aurice Borrmans and Gavin DCosta
Twenty-five eminent international scholars
describe how Catholic theology has grappled with
religious pluralism.
T
his magisterial work outlines, clarifies, and
defends official Roman Catholic teaching on
the relationship between Christianity and
other religious traditions in light of the Catholic
belief that We must hold that the Holy Spirit offers
to all the possibility of being made partners, in a
way known to God, in the paschal mystery(Pastoral
Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, 22).
Part I studies the history of these issues while Part II
examines their theological framing. Part III
addresses Christianity and other religions sinceVatican II. Part IV deals specifically with Judaism,
Confucianism, Hinduism, and Islam as these
religions see themselves in relation to Christianity.
A final chapter by Bishop Michael Fitzgerald offers a
theological reflection on the foundations of
interreligious dialogue today.
For scholars, students, and practitioners of
interreligious encounter, Catholic Engagement withWorld Religionsis necessary and absorbing reading.

Century, this broadly ecumenical reader recounts
the Christian message of peace and nonviolence.Through testimony by the confessors and martyrs of
the early church, the voices of medieval figures like
St. Benedict and St. Francis, as well as Erasmus, the
Lollards, A nabaptists, and Quaker abolitionists,
Christian Peace and Nonviolencepresents a coherent
story in which the peace message of Jesus is restored
to itscentral place. Later sections highlight many of
the great prophets of modern times, including
Tolstoy, Dorothy Day, A. J. Muste, Thomas Merton,
Daniel Berrigan, John Howard Yoder, Stanley
Hauerwas, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Oscar
Romero.
Comprehensive and compelling, Christian Peace
and Nonviolenceis not only a unique reference work,
but a source of inspirationa witness to the power
of Christian nonviolence in history and in our own
time as well.
Michael G. Longis associate professor of religious
