We initially read and experience everything through our cultural and linguistic prejudices. However, we achieve higher levels of consciousness when those prejudices are exposed and we move beyond them. Copernicus and Kant offered a higher level of consciousness and a better way to see the world. Jesus also offered us a higher level of consciousness by replacing rational justice with love and mercy. This divine level of consciousness threatens to destroy our sacred prejudices. So we worship Jesus as God, telling ourselves that we cannot ascend to this level of consciousness. But Jesus tells us “to be perfect as our heavenly father is perfect,” knowing that our failure to achieve perfection will bring us to the experience of God's mercy, and it is the repeated experience of mercy that in time begins to make us into his merciful likeness, and we find that our conventional concepts of faith, love, and justice are transformed.

In 1965, the Second Vatican Council formally issued a historic document titled Nostra Aetate (In Our Time). It was an attempt to frame the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and the Jewish people. Never before had an ecumenical council attempted such a task. The landmark document issued by the Council and proclaimed by Pope Paul VI precipitated a Copernican revolution in Catholic-Jewish relations and started a process that has spread to the Protestant and Orthodox worlds as well. A Jubilee for All Time, consisting of essays and reflections by Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Jewish scholars and theologians, by pastors and professors from the United States, Canada, Ireland, Great Britain, and Israel, is an evaluation of what Nostra Aetate has accomplished thus far and how Christian-Jewish relations must proceed in building bridges of respect, understanding, and trust between the faith groups. A Jubilee for All Time serves as a source of discussion, learning, and dialoguefor scholars, students and intelligent laypersons who believe that we must create a positive relationship between Judaism and Christianity.

In this book Roark writes a new prescription that will enable us to see the Christian religion, perhaps even the Bible, in a new and clearer way, a re-vision of Christianity. After Copernicus, whether people looked at the heavens from an earth-centered or a sun-centered cosmology, they still saw the same things. The sun still appeared to rise and set and the moon, Mars, and Venus still seemed in the same positions. The Copernican system did not physically move sun, earth, or the planets. It spoke not of a difference in appearances but in our way of thinking. So the call for us to shift our understanding from a God who is absolute to a God who is relative does not call for any change in the text of the Bible or the texture of Christian salvation experience. These remain the same. Rather it calls for a shift of our understanding of the center of Christian faith and action, a shift in the way we look at God. God is still sovereign, Jesus is still Lord and Savior, the Bible is still authoritative, and God is still creator, savior, and judge, still transcendent and holy. The creeds and systematic theologies are still pretty much right on; they just need a shift of emphasis. All they have to say about God needs to be understood as derived from love, subordinate to love, understood as aspects of the divine love.

Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, writes eloquently and persuasively about how one can live as a serious Christian in today's secular world. He talks in depth about the true meaning of faith, hope, and love--the love of God and the love of neighbor. He also discusses at length the crucial importance of a lived faith, for the believer himself as well as being a witness for our age, and striving to bring faith in line with the present age that has veered off into rampant secularism and materialism. He passionately encourages the reader to practice a deep, abiding Christian faith that seeks to be at the service of humanity. As Joseph Ratzinger mentions in the preface, "the book presents in written form three sermons that the author preached in the Cathedral at Muenster to a congregation from the Catholic Student Chaplaincy, December 13-15, 1964." In other words, these are essays derived from sermons preached to college students toward the end of Vatican II. They are remarkable, among other reasons, for their insights into the ongoing Christian struggle to understand and realize in action "what it means to be a Christian". Contents First Sermon: "Are We Saved? Or, Job Talks with God" Christianity as Advent The Unfulfilled Promise Are We Saved? The Hidden God Second Sermon: "Faith as Service" The Salvation of Christians and the Salvation of the World God Becomes Man, Man Becomes Christlike The Meaning of Salvation History Third Sermon: "Above All: Love" Love is Enough Why Do We Need Faith? The Law of Superabundance Faith, Hope, and Love "In our generation the Christian Faith finds itself in a much deeper crisis than at any other time in the past. In this situation it is no solution to shut our eyes in fear in the face of pressing problems, or to simply pass over them. If faith is to survive this age, then it must be lived, and above all, lived in this age. And this is possible only if a manifestation of faith is shown to have value for our present day, by growing to knowledge and fulfillment." -Pope Benedict XVI, From the Introduction Learn more about Pope Benedict!

Australia and New Zealand boast an active community of scholars working in the field of history, philosophy and social studies of science. Australasian Studies in History and Philosophy of Seien ce aims to provide a distinctive publication of essays on a connected outlet for their work. Each volume comprises a group theme, edited by an Australian or a New Zealander with special expertise in that particular area. In each volume, a majority of the contributors is from Australia or New Zealand. Contributions from elsewhere are by no means ruled out, however, and are indeed actively encouraged wherever appropriate to the balance of the volume in question. Earlier volumes in the series have been welcomed for significantly advancing the discussion of the topics they have dealt with. I believe that the present volume will be greeted equally enthusiastically by readers in many parts of the world. R.

Gaia's Gift, the second of Anne Primavesi's explorations of human relationships with the earth, asks that we complete the ideological revolution set in motion by Copernicus and Darwin concerning human importancene. They challenged the notion of our God-given centrality within the universe and within earth's evolutionary history. Yet as our continuing exploitation of earth's resources and species demonstrates, we remain wedded to the theological assumption that these are there for our sole use and benefit. Now James Lovelock's scientific understanding of the existential reality of Gaia's gift of life again raises the question of our proper place within the universe. It turns us decisively towards an understanding of ourselves as dependent on, rather than in control of, the whole earth community.

Many people today question whether Jesus can still be asserted as the normative, decisive, and final self-revelation of God for the salvation of the world. Braaten offers an incisive examination of faith and hope in the modern world--shaped by the three theological themes of justification, eschatological hope, and a new trinitarian understanding of God.
