"Preaching is the gifted expression of God's saving power inside human language," writes Guerric DeBona. Now, with this groundbreaking book, he presents an overview and synthesis of the history of preaching from a Catholic perspective. He places the major movements and historical currents in preaching that have occurred in the Christian era and places these developments in context. 
Fr. DeBona offers special emphasis on the emergence of the "new homiletic" in the twentieth century and examines in detail the inductive methods of preaching. Then he covers liturgical preaching, drawing from the USCCB's influential document Fulfilled in Your Hearing; multicultural preaching, with an emphasis on African-American and Hispanic preaching; and contemporary preaching, which looks at the theoretical issues at stake in "postmodernism." 
Concluding with an examination of the future of preaching in the electronic age and a bibliography, this book, described by Gerard Sloyan in his foreword as "a remarkable tour of the homiletic horizon," is sure to open up a discussion about where Christian preaching has been and where it might be headed.

Western culture has recently experienced a major rebirth of interest in monasticism--particularly in regard to the ancient Benedictine order. In PRAYING WITH THE BENEDICTINES, Fr. De Bona has compiled an eclectic collection of Benedictine prayer, reflections, poetry and artistic expressions drawn from an international community of monks and religious women over the centuries. Although small in size, the scope and range of this book is vast. These writings represent the range of expressions of monastic personal and public prayer, while providing important reflections on the Rule of St. Benedict. That focus on Benedictine prayer makes this book unique. Some of this prayer has been expressed in reflection, music, study and art and so provides a rich and diverse landscape for contemporary meditation. This book is sure to appeal to anyone associated with, interested in, or thinking of becoming, a Benedictine. It will also be of interest to readers interested in monasticism and people looking for a prayer resource rooted in one established tradition.PRAYING WITH THE BENEDICTINES is like carrying a 1500 year history of prayer in one's pocket. The book may be read in its entirety as an impression of Benedictine spirituality. In addition, each of the writings might also be read for personal meditation and spiritual growth.

The publication of The Roman Missal, Third Edition offers an opportunity for homilists to explore the relationship between the Sunday readings and the new Roman Missal. Between the Ambo and the Altar is the first book (Year A) in a three-volume series that presents scriptural, liturgical, and preaching commentary for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts throughout the year.Each Sunday's resources are presented in three sections: exploring the Scripture, connecting the Lectionary with the liturgy, and a homiletic strategy. DeBona takes the preacher through a meditation on the language of the Missal, suggests parallels to the Sunday Lectionary, and gives practical homiletic strategies, using core themes and images. It is hoped that the commentary advances a framework for homily preparation, so that preachers might savor the deep meaning of the word of God which unfolds each year in the liturgy" (Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini 52).
