    Now professor emeritus of the Gregorian University (Rome) and a world-acclaimed theologian who has authored or co-authored over eighty books, Gerald O'Collins illuminates difficult sayings of Jesus and meticulously explains these and other texts of the four Gospels. His interpretation also significantly advances our appreciation of Jesus' virginal conception (Matthew and Luke), the 'verbal' quality of believing in John's Gospel, and the silent flight of Mary Magdalene and her two companions when they hear the astonishing news of Jesus' resurrection from the dead (Mark 16:1-8).O'Collins moves to Paul and sets out his role as key witness to the resurrection of Jesus-along with Peter and Mary Magdalene. He enters the debate about a current theory that the 'high exaltation' of Jesus (Philippians 2:9) amounts to nothing more than his becoming a superior angel.No one illustrates better than O'Collins the creative and constructive results of precise, Jesus-centred New Testament exegesis. His most recent books include The Beauty of Jesus (Oxford University Press), The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola: A Lived Experience (Paulist Press), and Letters to Maev (Connor Court Publishing).

    What Maev contributed to my story shines through the letters I wrote to her from 1978 to 2017 - mainly from my home base in Rome. When that surviving correspondence began, she was the head of what became the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Papua New Guinea. On retirement in 1989 she returned to Australia and chose to live in Canberra. There she could have richer contacts with Papua New Guinea and the rest of Melanesia.During a long and fascinating life, Maev showed herself a person 'for others', constantly concerned to promote the rights and wellbeing of everyone, no matter who they were. The letters I wrote to her persistently reflect the impact of her wise love on me, her younger brother Gerald. - From the PrefaceGerald Glynn O'Collins SJ is an Australian Jesuit priest, author, academic and educator. For more than three decades, he was professor of systematic and fundamental theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome). In 2006, O'Collins was made a Companion of the General Division of the Order of Australia (AC).

    The book follows the structure of the Spiritual Exercises, commenting on major themes in what Ignatius calls the First Week, the Second Week, the Third Week, and the Fourth Week, ending with the Contemplation for Attaining Love. It engages the audience by introducing fresh reflections on the Principle and Foundation (to be read in the context of late medieval marriage vows), and by using, at length, several episodes in the Gospel stories (e.g. the nativity of Christ, the call to service of Peter's mother-in-law, the particular approaches of the evangelists to Christ's passion and death, and the place of Ch. 21 in John's theology of love) to show how contemporary biblical interpretation enriches possibilities for prayer. Resources for prayer are drawn from Christian painting, sculpture, music, literature (e.g., Pascal and Kierkegaard) and poetry. The author explores links between the Exercises and the traditional practice of lectio divina. In doing this, he illustrates the scope of teaching on lectio divina coming from the Second Vatican Council and shows how translators and commentators have missed the Council's use of the technical term lectio divina.+

    A collection of eighteen essays on the Gospels, Acts, and the letters of Paul, written throughout Gerald O'Collins's distinguished career. "The prolific pen of Gerald O'Collins strikes again! For decades, O'Collins's wide-ranging publications have significantly advanced the state of New Testament scholarship. He has solved riddles, shed light on obscure passages, and proposed creative interpretations based on his sound, meticulous reading of texts. Here he caps his impressive achievements by conveniently collecting eighteen articles-most of them published and now updated or rewritten-from different professional journals, making them more accessible. I highly recommend this illuminating book for libraries, scholars, and preachers of the Word." -Ronald D. Witherup, PSS, author, Galatians: Life in the New Creation and Scripture and Tradition in the Letters of Paul, both from Paulist Press

    During more than thirty years of teaching at the Gregorian University in Rome (1974-2006) and later, Gerald O'Collins, SJ, AC, often wrote to his family and friends. This volume contains over 150 of his letters. These letters blend public news of church and state with vivid details about foreign visitors and new, Italian friends. They enter into a struggle as professor and dean of theology to update the oldest Jesuit university, a West Point of the Catholic Church which continues to train future bishops, cardinals and popes. The letters also vividly describe what O'Collins did during summer vacations-on lecturing tours that took him to every continent.A leading modern theologian, Fr O'Collins has published 76 books that he has authored or co-authored, including seventeen with Oxford University Press and four with Connor Court: A Midlife Journey (2012), On the Left Bank of the Tiber (2013), From Rome to Royal Park (2015) and Portraits (2019). As well as receiving numerous honorary doctorates and other awards, in 2006 with Nicole Kidman he was created a Companion of the General Division of the Order of Australia, the highest civil honour granted through the Australian government.

    The twenty men and women portrayed in this book went rejoicing, or at least patiently, to the house of the Lord. With choirs of angels and saints, they now sing "the everlasting hymn." Before they left us to join the heavenly company, they were for me the music of life. I spent many years in the company of some of them, much less in the case of others. Hence the chapters of this book are longer or shorter. My hope is that readers will draw inspiration and courage from all their stories. -- From the PrefaceGerald Glynn O'Collins SJ is an Australian Jesuit priest, author, academic and educator.
