Paperback. Condition: Good. Christianity is a call to a life of prayer and activism, the author affirms in a convincing and scholarly work that takes its title from Catherine of Siena's revelation that we are to walk on the two feet of love of God and neighbor. The author bases her thesis on the lives and writings of contemplatives, men and women, famous and obscure, from early Christianity to the present, who championed religious, social and political activism from New York to Rome to Soweto--Catherine of Siena, Ignatius of Loyola, Evelyn Underhill, Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and four South Africans, Denis Hurley, Beyers Naude, Nelson Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu. Dr. Rakoczy also does a valuable service by sorting out the controversy surrounding the story of saints Mary and Martha in the gospel of Luke. She examines the voices extolling the superiority of Mary, the contemplative, over Martha, the symbol of the active life, and those extolling Martha over Mary. She includes the hermeneutical interpretation of feminist scholar Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, and the unified understanding of Teresa of Avila, who affirmed the unity of Martha and Mary in one person as the goal of the full Christian life. With reflections on mysticism, suffering and political love, and end-chapter notes and bibliography, Great Mystics and Social Justice is a solid contribution showing Christianity at its unblinkered fullest. Highlights: includes the four-part hermeneutical strategy or dance that constructs a feminist sphere for feminist biblical dialogue accessible to specialist and non-specialist readers thoughtful, inspiring, and timely.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Assuned First Edition. 377 Pages Indexed. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page "Kathy, We can't all be saints (thank God) but thanks for trying. Bob Rakoczy." Three hundred sixty-six sketches of actual saints on their designated feast days, written from an alternative, contemporary, and humorous perspective. Not a collection of gay saints, each life is dampy and irreverent, but not sacrilegious, vulgar, or insensitive. There has never been anything like it in print and there should be. Each day includes the saint's traditional or an apt patronage, an appropriate show tune or theme song, a motto, a symbol in art of iconography, and a celebrity's mundane birthday. For example, St. Simeon the Mad gets forty ours of community service time feeding the poor from Judge Judy's Court for stealing bread for the needy. Alex Trebek must endure the sheer stupidity of the Three Stooges on a Jeopardy show. St. Rose of Lima reveals her Twelve Steps to Sainthood. St. Veronica gets advice on cleaning her veil. Collect 300 days indulgence for every time you laugh out loud . a totally contemptible, contemporary source. Parental discretion is advised. If your mother hates it, you'll love it. Is this book for real? No, not really. Take it any way but seriously. Inscribed By the Author.…
