Columbia University Press The Other Catholics
Book SynopsisThe Other Catholics recounts the remarkable history and current activity of independent Catholics. Julie Byrne focuses on the Church of Antioch, one of the first Catholic groups to ordain women in modern times, to explain how these understudied churches change the narrative of modern Catholicism.Trade ReviewJulie Byrne's well researched book, The Other Catholics, shows that there are major communities of Christians who understand themselves as Catholics but not Roman Catholics. These Christians are creating vibrant communities of believers and are elevating women to leadership, including ordination as priests and bishops. This broader reality of world Catholicism can now be better understood, thanks to Byrne's excellent work. -- Rosemary Ruether, author of Catholic Does Not Equal the Vatican: A Vision for Progressive CatholicismThis beautifully written study illuminates the range of groups that exist across the whole Catholic spectrum. Linked, despite their diversity, by a shared identification as Catholic and common emphasis on succession, sacrament, and saints, Byrne surfaces the complex, often unnoticed interactions between independent Catholics, Roman Catholics, and numerous religious traditions. This fresh approach opens a provocative window through which to view the meaning and making of Catholicity. -- Ann Taves, coeditor of What Matters? Ethnographies of Value in a Not So Secular AgeByrne's intrepid research and vivid prose brings to light a subterranean realm of 'Other Catholics,' an utterly fascinating world of colorful characters and inventive approaches to authority. Just as Protestantism cannot be reduced to, say, Presbyterians, this book makes it increasingly difficult to equate 'Catholicism' merely with the Roman Catholic church. -- Randall Balmer, coeditor of Mormonism and American PoliticsThe growing phenomenon of Independent Catholicism is notoriously difficult to capture. Its varied forms defy easy categorization, and it generally makes its home in the ever-shifting margins of church and culture. Julie Byrne's years of research and extensive fieldwork have yielded this immensely valuable guide to the "Other Catholics." This book will doubtless open a window onto the "independent movement" for both scholars and interested people of faith. Byrne's choice to focus on two significant communities results in an engaging and sympathetic narrative, but never fails to be clear-eyed and critically informed. Any reader interested in the American religious landscape will be captivated. -- John Plummer, author of The Many Paths of the Independent Sacramental Movement: A National Study of Its Liturgy, Doctrine, and LeadershipI could not put The Other Catholics down. It is an excellent book, one that will make important contributions to the fields of Catholic studies, American studies, and American religious history. Moreover, the focus on gender and the dynamics of power and privilege will be of special interest to scholars of gender, women's studies, and sexuality. Byrne's historical, sociological, and anthropological research is at once original and rock solid, and her findings are compelling. Most important, her clear and approachable writing style will make this book appealing to a wide swath of readers. -- Kristy Nabhan-Warren, author of The Cursillo Movement in America: Catholics, Protestants, and Fourth-Day SpiritualityThe growing field of ethnographic history will never be the same after The Other Catholics is published. Without question, this work will be considered a significant contribution to the fields of American Catholic studies and American religious history. There hasn't been a finer study of alternative forms of Catholic identity since James Fisher's The Catholic Counterculture in America. The Other Catholics is unique for its careful consideration of the role of women and LGBTQ people in the life of American Catholicism. Byrne's lucid and accessible writing style only adds to the book's value and usability in undergraduate courses. -- Michael Pasquier, editor of Gods of the Mississippi[A] probing study.... Byrne's enlightening research and analysis will undoubtedly raise awareness of these little-known Catholic denominations. * Publishers Weekly *[A] landmark new book. -- Nathan Schneider * America Magazine *Byrne's book is an excellent study of churches on the fringe that incubate new ideas and shed new light on mainstream religion. Through her storytelling, Byrne documents the multiple claims to be Catholic and recognizes that in the very writing of her book she, too, is producing Catholicism. -- Jane Shaw * Times Higher Education *Byrne's fresh approach opens a window through which to explore the meaning and making of Catholicism. Any reader interested in the American faith landscape will be captivated. * Washington Review of Books *Drawing on deep research in archives as well as surveys, interviews, and ten years of field research and participant observations, the book is as important for the self-reflexive methods it reveals as for the remarkable story it tells. -- Grant Wacker * The Christian Century *Path-breaking study * Catholic Library World *[Julie Byrne] brings an astonishing narrative drive to a wide range of little-known historical and contemporary ethnographic material. There's nothing like a good story. * Equal Writes *The Other Catholics is a heartfelt, readable, welcome addition to the history of religions. * Reading Religion *The book makes intriguing reading, and Byrne skillfully combines a quite colloquial style with impeccable scholarship. For the specialist, the book is indispensable, but it could be appreciated by a more general readership,too. * Nova Religio *[A] sympathetic and robust presentation. * National Catholic Reporter *An engaging, highly readable, and comprehensive study of the evolution of independent Catholic communities, and of the challenges and opportunities they have encountered in their efforts to reimagine Catholicism and build alternative models of church. -- Kathleen Kautzer * The Journal of Religion *A remarkable book, written with extraordinary clarity and eloquence and which exhibits a heartfelt sympathy with the individuals who populate it. It is both a wonderful introduction to the phenomenon of ‘independent’ Catholicism and an intriguing analysis of how one particular church of this kind has operated. * Reviews in Religion & Theology *Byrne's field-shaping work will be an indispensable touchstone for future scholarship. * Journal of Religious History *A very interesting and timely book. * Church History *This carefully researched anthropological and ethnographic history will appeal to a wide readership, including anyone generally interested in religion, particularly Catholics, religious historians, and scholars in religious studies, and anyone interested in the dynamics of group struggle, the power plays in which “Big bodies block or expel” while the “other” shelters, shapes, and showcases the blocked and expelled. -- Jeanie C.

University of Notre Dame Press Working
Book SynopsisThis text proposes different ways of thinking about work. It explores many of the ways in which human beings have thought about the place of work in life - its meanings, its limits, and its relation to other obligations, to the life cycle, to play and to rest.Trade Review"… a tool-chest for anyone who wishes to think through the relation between God's calling and our daily tasks." —Vocation, 2005“Working is a treasure of 75 selections from sources as diverse as Aristotle, Xenophon, and the Bible, to Longfellow, Marx, Michael Novak and Josef Pieper. Meilaender deserves our gratitude for bringing together such a workman-like short library of poetry, fiction, and thoughtfulness. Anyone who works or thinks about work will find something here to nourish his soul.” —Pro Ecclesia“[A] fascinating, instructive and entertaining anthology on the subject. It is a worthy resource for all congregational libraries.” —Church and Synagogue Libraries“...shining gems of reflection and narrative. It is both a thoughtful and accessible compilation.” —Religious Studies Review“This volume provides a fine resource for serious reflection—in the context of our Western moral heritage—on how the working life might become a more integral part of the good life.” —Religion and Liberty“This anthology as a whole will promote important reflections on the ‘ethical’ meaning of work and is highly recommended for undergraduate, theological, and public libraries. A very valuable resource for undergraduate courses in ethics.” —Choice Magazine“Meilaender is a writer of elegance and power; a thinker of subtlety and grace. He reminds us of the compelling and continuing force of Scriptural and theological understandings of work. Most importantly, in a time when work dominates so much of our lives—or busyness does, at any rate—he asks us, through his commentary and selections, to ponder the meaning and role of work in our lives and to assess work within a wider framework of God’s creation and purpose for us.” —Jean Bethke Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, The University of Chicago, and author of Augustine and the Limits of Politics“Who could have put together a quilt of passages as diverse and imaginatively patterned as the selections Gilbert Meilaender has chosen—from Marx to Mark Twain—for this anthology on working? W. H. Auden perhaps. Meilaender has also favored us with a wise and elegantly written introduction to a volume that should enrich personal reflection and stimulate classroom and public discussion.” —William F. May, Cary M. Maguire Professor of Ethics, Southern Methodist University

The Catholic University of America Press Liturgical Theology in Thomas Aquinas Sacrifice
Book SynopsisIn this volume, Fr Franck Quoex responds to Joseph Ratzinger's call for a renewed appreciation of liturgical rite. A student of Pierre Gy, he brings to this study of Aquinas's liturgical theology a combination of knowledge of liturgical sources and history and the best of modern historical-critical research guided by sound theological judgment.Trade ReviewI am not aware of another work that uses this theological-anthropological lens to shed light on Thomas's treatment of the sacraments and the Mass in the Tertia Pars. Quoëx proves himself to be well-acquainted not only with the breadth of Thomas's works, but also with medieval historical sources and twentieth-century journal articles (from before the Second Vatican Council) on Thomas's sacramental and liturgical theology."" - Michon M. Matthiesen, author of Sacrifice as Gift: Eucharist, Grace and Contemplative Prayer in Maurice de la Taille
