The Theology of History in the Book of Judith

By: Saverio Corradino, SJ

The Book of Judith The Book of Judith, more than describing an event, aims to present a theology of history.

The Middle East Between Pandemic and Oil Crisis

By: Giovanni Sale, SJ

Christmas in the Liturgy

By: Enrico Cattaneo, SJ

“Apart from the annual celebration of the Paschal Mystery, the Church has no more ancient custom than celebrating the memorial of the Nativity of the Lord and of his first manifestations, and this takes place in Christmas Time.”[1] This celebration begins with the First Vespers of Christmas and ends on the Sunday after the Epiphany. The earliest records of the feast of Christmas may be traced back to the middle of the fourth century, and the date of December 25...
