Modeled on an ancient story telling technique, The Discovery is a unique book that intends to awaken the reader to the mystery that surrounds our lives. In many ways stories are records of two kinds of discoveries we can make. Some discoveries come to us as gifts we are given such as food, clothes, shelter, or a few words of wisdom. And sometimes they are treasures we uncover by ourselves, an insight, awareness, or a new association. This story begins with a clueless pilgrim who has not learned to be thankful for either the people or events in his life. Then, slowly, as he travels, the people he meets and places he visits teach him how to recognize, collect and appreciate his discoveries. Each chapter in this story is like a little puzzle. They help us to develop the habit ferreting out a lesson from our experiences and talks with other people. We do this by asking ourselves, what gift or treasure might be discerned? If we are wise, we hold on to what is helpful and shake the dust of anger, envy, or pride off our feet. Finally, one unexpected day, the pilgrim comes upon The Discovery that puts the whole of life in order. The pilgrim’s story illustrates our challenge. If we are to live life well, we must find, hidden among many gifts and treasures, The Discovery, which provides guidance, completeness, and joy.

Drawing on great church teachers through the centuries and on the classical Christian creeds and confessions, this book asks both what Matthew's Gospel said to its first hearers and what it says to readers today. It shows how the focus of Matthew shifts, from Jesus teaching about who he is to teaching mainly about what his church is.

For two millennia Christianity has embraced fairly consistent views of human sexuality. Today, there exist more varied outlooks on the subject. This volume on Christianity in the The Library of Essays on Sexuality and Religion series overviews the contrasting Christian perceptions of sexuality. Part 1 includes a number of previously published articles that are theological in nature and present biblical interpretations of sexuality. Here, several Christian voices are permitted to speak from their varied perspectives, both conservative and liberal. Part 2 features contributions focusing on the Christian tradition of celibacy and asceticism. Part 3 surveys scholarly work emphasising the relationship between sexuality, gender and patriarchy. Part 4 offers academic interpretations of Christian expressions of sexuality through the mediums of worship, ritual and the sacraments. The final part peruses contemporary contestations of conventional Christian views. This is undertaken by presenting articles examining views of gay sexuality, assisted human reproduction and priestly celibacy.
