|  | St. Cyril of Alexandria, A New Testament Exegete by Lois Farag
This study portrays Cyril of Alexandria as exegete and theologian through an examination of his Commentary on the Gospel John. It begins with an attempt to place Cyril and his commentary within their context. This work argues that Cyril wrote his Commentary on the Gospel of John early in his writing career, almost a decade before becoming bishop. Cyril’s commentary on the Johannine Gospel reveals his exegetical method and his strong Trinitarian theology. The commentary also focuses on the nature and work of the Holy Spirit: the indwelling of the Spirit is the beginning of the newness of life. |
|  | Moslem Women by Samuel Zwemer
Moslem Women is built around six main chapters; half are devoted to the place and experiences of Moslem women, and half consider the Christian mission to these women. The Zwemers acknowledge some of the great women of Islamic history, such as Rabia, the famous early mystic, and Nurah Mahal, wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. They speak in glowing terms about advances in the women’s situation in post-Ottoman Turkey. Their work is dedicated to serving Muslims and to seeing them as people rather than as faceless numbers; it is an excellent model for today’s Christians who feel called to engagement with Islam.

|  | The Dialogues of Jeremiah by Mitchel Modine
This volume reads the diverse contents of Jeremiah as a kind of dialogue between competing perceptions of the exile. The author argues that coherence is to be found precisely in the incoherent, as it reflects the communal trauma of exile. |

Christian Initiation in the classical liturgies of the Eastern Orthodox Churches involved more than just the rite of baptism. The classical texts provide for admission of catechumens (with special rites for children), admission to candidacy, lessons for instruction during Lent, exorcisms, the rite of apotaxis and syntaxis on Good Friday, and baptism and chrismation at the Easter Vigil. This book provides an English translation of all these texts, with a brief commentary, as well as the provisions for the consecration of chrism, for initiation at the other baptismal feasts in the Orthodox tradition (Epiphany, Lazarus Saturday, and Pentecost), and special provisions for Easter week and its closure. Set out in their fulness, the rites are as complete as those in the Western Rites of Initiation of Adults (RCIA). In addition, the provisions for children suggest a somewhat different baptismal journey than what is customary in the West. The book highlights the true Easter Vigil of the Orthodox Church, which is not what is familiar to contemporary Orthodox Christians, but a rite which is now relegated to Saturday morning or early afternoon if it is celebrated at all.
