Chaplaincy. Pastoral care. Ministry. The care of souls. What lies beneath that which lies beneath them? Like Virgil, chaplain Stephen Faller guides an unusual tour winding through personal disclosure about ministry, adoption, chaplaincy, and disability. Contextualized within chaplaincy and clinical pastoral education, Faller examines these "visions from a little-known country." Within the landscape are the sights of living in a post-9/11 world as they prefigure the change and uncertainty that marked American life and ministry after the pandemic of 2020. A conclusion to "a dialectical inquiry at the end of the world," Faller explores the history of philosophy and religion in order to navigate an already unusual life within strange times. Essential reading for chaplains, and helpful insights for all those within the helping professions. As ministry continues to move beyond the surrounding walls of the institutional building, Faller suggests that chaplaincy can be a meaningful space for ordained ministry as one of the great "spaces between spaces." Moreover, this confessor's confession spells a way for storytellers and story collectors to find direction when meaning is lost. Chaplaincy itself is a meaningful response to a world turned upside down.

A preacher wrote this collection of absolutely essential nonsense. It is guaranteed that every word you read will be the purely fabricated and well-garnished truth based on solid and verifiable fiction. By necessity, the names of some of the folk on these pages have been changed in order to protect their guilt. The preacher is a sometime fisherman and an every-chance-I-get hunter. He holds charter membership in one of the most notorious and exclusive sporting clubs in all of North America. And it is because of his frequent association with fellow members that he sometimes has difficulty handling the truth without taking some awful liberties with it. You would too, if you hung around with the likes of this crew. He has traveled over a lot of the real estate of our wonderful globe. He has seen the beauty of Galilee's sea and Australia's great coral reefs, Hawaii's silver sand and Canada's magnificent Rockies. He has traveled by dugout log canoe to headwaters of the mighty Amazon and gazed on Niagara Falls. He's been from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the top of the Sears Tower. But the most beautiful sights in this world, he declares, are seen from the top of Pole Creek ridge, Marble Creek pass, the knob on Greenhorn Mountain and an elk stand in Eastern Oregon.

Over the past decade Rome has been marked with sharp, and often unwarranted, criticism of the Church in the United States and American Catholic life. But very few of the critics have taken the time to talk, systematically, with a wide range of U.S. Catholics to understand their concerns. True Confessions is unique for its frank and in-depth interviews with 103 bishops, clergy, religious, and lay men and women from various backgrounds over a 17-month period, December 2020 through May 2022. The wide-ranging subject matter includes the unseen challenges of life as a bishop; the pressures and satisfactions of the priesthood, the diaconate, and the consecrated life; the structural and leadership ingredients of diocesan success and failure; fallout from the Church' sex-abuse scandals; problems in Catholic universities; attitudes toward the Vatican; the role of Catholics in the academy and the secular culture; the witness of parents who have children with special needs; and the testimony of immigrant Americans as they assess their new homeland. Finally, the book presents the reasons why so many U.S. Catholics, despite today's challenges, continue to love the Church and cherish their faith with joy and energy.

There is a common way of thinking that distinguishes between the regular law-abiding citizens and the “criminals.” The many high-profile killings committed by police officers in recent years, with the George Floyd case being the most famous, have served to render this simplistic way of thinking highly problematic. It is more realistic, in terms of cultural understanding, to see violence as a dialectic; it can come from the direction of “law and order” or from the direction of the violation of law. Employing the thought of René Girard, Søren Kierkegaard, and others, this book provides a framework for understanding this dialectic. Drawing on examples from slavery, lynching, the killing of unarmed Black persons by police, and the death penalty, the theme of violence coming from the direction of “law and order” is vividly illustrated, with Girard’s thought being employed to formulate a deeply rooted theoretical understanding. There is also extensive attention paid to many examples of mass shootings and terrorist attacks—violence that is intentionally immoral and illegal. A psychological taxonomy is employed that comprehends such violence under the headings of the psychopathic, the psychotic, the traumatized, and the ideological actor.

Dick Huser tells his story of theology schools and mainstream churches from inside out. It is a story drawn from the raw materials of the human condition. It is a profile of real people who turn to pastors from a myriad of motives. It is the story of his own progress and regress and regeneration, as he struggled with the paradoxical nature of church history, ancient creeds, modern interpretations, and the clash of a dramatically new culture with traditional credos. The vulnerability of his journey is exposed for all to see, and the healing influence of family, friends and colleagues becomes happily apparent.
