Author of New Wineskins, Sandra Schneiders began a brilliant yet controversial examination of modern religious life in her acclaimed book Finding the Treasure. That first title located religious life within the multiple realities of today's postmodern world and post-Vatican I Church. This new volume examines today's post-conciliar, post-modern religious life from the inside, looking at the make-up of religious life's specific identity and how it functions today. She does this through the three lenses of commitment, consecrated celibacy, and community. Through the lens of commitment, Schneiders surveys the process of entering the religious life, from the first experience of a call to a final promise of perpetual profession. She also explores the theological concept of divine call, as well as the psychological and spiritual process of human discernment. And she shows how realistic commitment is possible even in today's world of kaleidoscopic change and instability. Schneiders then examines consecrated celibacy from theological, biblical, and feminist standpoints. Last, she explores the theological and prophetic nature of community life as a Gospel imperative both shared by Christians and unique to religious. And she raises sociological and spiritual questions about the forms and lifestyles of community life. Perhaps even more than the first volume, Selling All extends beyond its primary audience of women religious to include male religious, religious of other denominations, spiritual directors, retreat directors, and all lay Christians on a serious spiritual quest. The book is also invaluable for use by general chapters, in formation programs, and by study groups.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49583466316049,"sku":"GOR004846902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49638575866129,"sku":"GOR002432639","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49778266636561,"sku":"CIN0809139731G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53511420936465,"sku":"CIN0809139731VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809139731.jpg?v=1751076177"},{"product_id":"finding-the-treasure-book-sandra-m-schneiders-ihm-9780809139613","title":"Finding the Treasure","description":"Controversial author Sandra Schneiders projects a new model of religious life.

She reaches back into the gospels for the meaning of world in order to discern the meaning of renunciation of the world by religious, and how that tradition needs to be rethought for our times while keeping in mind the prophetic character of religious life that enables witness and ministry. The vow of poverty is examined, both in its economic and spiritual sense (that is, religious life as an alternate economy and the poverty of spirit needed in the quest for God). Finally and this is the part that made this so difficult to write, Sandra examines the vow of obedience, taking into account the role that blind obedience played in the Holocaust and other wrongs committed by misuse of power and authority. She concludes by synthesizing all three volumes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49774408565009,"sku":"CIN0809147882G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50500092363025,"sku":"GOR010638434","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51733320827153,"sku":"CIN0809147882VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52877487407377,"sku":"GOR014650623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809147882.jpg?v=1751363076"},{"product_id":"johannine-resurrection-narrative-book-sandra-m-schneiders-ihm-9798400802027","title":"The Johannine Resurrection Narrative","description":"Break open the message of the resurrection narrative in John’s Gospel with renowned Scripture scholar Sandra Schneiders  Sandra Schneiders’s groundbreaking examination of Johannine theology, spirituality and narrative artistry, that was first argued in her dissertation decades ago, is now available for the first time for a wider audience. Illuminating just how revolutionary Schneiders’s scholarship remains today, The Johannine Resurrection Narrative seeks to enliven the Johannine Gospel and its desire to awaken understanding and nourish faith for scholars, and students of theology, Scripture, and spirituality. Through careful analysis of John 20, Schneiders focuses on the key questions raised by John’s narrative—Where is the body? And Where can believers find Jesus today? Why is a Resurrection narrative needed when, in John, everything is finished at the Cross?  In this significant study, Schneiders offers the Johannine Resurrection Narrative of John's Gospel as a rich resource for understanding and developing Christian spirituality. Bringing to her analysis a thorough examination of hermeneutics as well as critical exegesis, Schneiders’s major new introduction further positions her argument that theopoetics are the defining character of the Johannine text, exemplified by the Resurrection narrative.  Schneiders’s The Johannine Resurrection Narrative:    Draws together the results for spirituality of the exegetical-theological study of the Johannine Resurrection Narrative. Explains how and why John’s theological interpretation is both similar to and different from that of the Synoptics. Grounds the claim that the Johannine Resurrection Narrative represents a single theological project rather than a collection of separate traditional incidents. Offers successive exegesis and theological interpretation of each of the four pericopes of John 20. Provides the main outline of a synthesis of Johannine spirituality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53613254967569,"sku":"NGR9798400802027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798400802027.jpg?v=1780317054"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sandra-m-schneiders-ihm.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
