"There are many fine books on the church, but none till now that so fully integrates the historical, sociological, and theological approaches necessary for complete understanding. The Second Vatican Council, often called "the council of the church," created new possibilities and new challenges, but it also raised many basic questions about the nature and mission of the church. This book describes how the church - or rather how we the church understand ourselves on the threshold of the third millennium." "One of the hallmarks of modern consciousness is the awareness of how all thought (not just theology!) is conditioned by time, place, and social location. Accordingly, Part 1 describes the contemporary context for reflection on the church, and sets out the methodology for such reflection. Part 2 then recalls the various ways in which the church's understanding of itself has developed over time. This section is not church history, but rather the history of the church's self-understanding, or ecclesiology. Part 3 is devoted to five major issues confronting the Christian community at present. They are, in short, ministry, liberation, inculturation, the specific challenges facing the church in the United States, and the relationship between Christian churches (ecumenism) and between the church and other religions (interreligious dialogue). Underlying all these challenges is the fundamental issue of the church's relationship to the world - a relationship, argues Professor Sanks, that should be one of permeation rather than subordination or separation. Hence the title of this book: Salt, Leaven, and Light, the biblical images of permeation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

We have a responsibility to influence the people in our lives to be the best possible people they can be: "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up" (1 Thessalonians 5: 11). The word influence can be defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself: for good or bad. It was Lucifer that influences a third of the angels to follow him, and as a result, they were kicked out of heaven. Other words that can be used to describe influence are effect - impact - control - sway - hold - power and authority. Each one of these words suggests the ability to have an effect on another person's life, for good or bad. Therefore, as a Christian, we have the responsibility to live in such a way that we influence the moral climate of our culture, and that is what makes us powerful in the earth. Sometimes you can have influence on someone and not even know it. Have you ever had someone to say how their lifestyle was affected by someone that they never met? They were attracted by something seen or said that affected their character, development, or behavior. The 3 metaphors the Bible uses to describe influence with credibility is salt, light, and leaven, and the credibility of each must be seen in the home, church, and community, with that being said, we can turn the world upside down for Jesus. My prayer is that as you read this book, you will see the importance of salt, light, and leaven as agents of influence in the home, church, and community. By doing so the credibility of the Gospel can be trusted to bring hope and healing because of how we Live the Gospel Out Loud.

With an equal emphasis on every word in the title—and with a distinctly American perspective—Himes and his distinguished associate editors and contributors, have assembled the most thorough and authoritative assessment of modern Roman Catholic social teaching to date, likely to remain the touchstone volume for decades. This culmination of many years of effort by twenty stellar scholars has produced a reference work for anyone interested in understanding or studying the key documents that comprise the central corpus of Catholic social teaching. In addition to interrogations of the major documents, this volume provides an understanding of the biblical and philosophical foundations of Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to the "modern" era, generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. Finally, there is a review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States, and an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that future generations must address. By any standard, Modern Catholic Social Teaching is a remarkable work—intellectually rigorous and deeply faithful, it provides accessible and thought-provoking insights into the heart of a belief tradition that every Catholic will find invaluable.

In a globalized world and an "age that cannot name itself," how do Christian communities sustain a recognizable gospel identity? How might examining tradition and identity formation from both theology and cultural anthropology help churches approach the challenges of being a follower of Jesus today? With these questions in focus, Colleen Mallon studies symbol systems in the works of anthropologists Mary Douglas, Victor Turner, and Clifford Geertz and places her findings in dialogue with a "thick description" of discipleship gleaned from the great Roman Catholic ecclesiologist Yves Congar, OP. The result is a reflection on gospel identity that will be invaluable to Christian ministers, missioners, and students of theology interested in the social and theological processes of disciple formation.
