New Voices in Catholic Theology

Edited by Anna Bonta Moreland And Joseph Curran

The last several years have witnessed an exciting expansion in Catholic theology, with more younger scholars being drawn to dedicate themselves to enriching the tradition for the 21st century and beyond. This volume celebrates the work of one such group, scholars who trained under Michael J. Buckley at Boston College. On topics as varied as secularity, Spanish mysticism, religious pluralism, and Catholic education, Fr. Buckley's rich influence as a teacher and mentor shines through. This book serves as both an introduction to much of the best original work being done in theology today, and a reminder of the legacy a great scholar can leave.

Second, there is an excerpt from the prayers used in the celebration of that sacrament followed by responses by theologians with expertise in the history and theology of that sacrament.
