 | How, Then, Shall We Live? by Wayne Muller
Wayne Muller believes that a full and joyful life arises when we remember that we are already whole and strong, blessed with wisdom and resilience. His book centers on four simple questions that can become doorways to a more meaningful life: Who am I? What do I love? How shall I live, knowing I will die? What is my gift to the family of the earth? He draws transformative stories from his 20 years of experience with men and women who have considered these questions and discovered love, courage and kindness, even in the midst of sorrow and loss.

 | Phenomenology & the Theological Turn by Dominique Janicaud, Jean Courtine
Phenomenology & the Theological Turn brings together in a single volume the debate over Dominique Janicaud's critique of the theological turn of French phenomenology as represented by the works of Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ricoeur, Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Francois Courtine, Jean-Louis Chretien & Michael Henry. According to Janicaud, these theologically oriented philosophers have subverted the classical orientation of phenomenology toward the things themselves in favor of a giving beyond all measure & certainly beyond the measure of phenomenological method. Marion & his colleagues seek to give phenomenological credentials to an absolute experience, an experience of the absolute, that is strictly religious & hence, Janicaud contends, outside the bounds of phenomenology's methodological strictures. In the second part, Courtine, Marion, Chretien, Henry & Ricoeur address the possibility of a phenomenology of religion as a philosophical, not a theological, project. Their approach is premised on the idea that philosophical discourse can describe religious phenomena through a phenomenology of donation (giveness) that is able to describe religious phenomena without sacrificing their claim to absoluteness & irreducibility.

 | Private Women, Public Meals by Kathleen Corley
This work, a revision of the author's Claremont dissertation, examines how women's differing roles in the ancient Greco-Roman world are reflected in the Gospel portraits of women. Focusing on women's varying portrayals in meal or banquet settings, Corley uncovers evidence that women's roles were undergoing radical social change throughout the Greco-Roman world - both in moving toward equality and in returning to a more traditional role. Such spadework helps us in analyzing the conflicting portrayals of women in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Bibliography, notes, and an index of ancient sources render this an invaluable tool for studying women in the Synoptics and ancient social attitudes toward women. This volume should be of particular interest to pastors and teachers, as well as college, university, and seminary students. AUTHOR: Kathleen Corley
