About the Book

Bread for the Journey stakes out new territory for all who are engaged in the many facts of mission, whether in the urban deserts of the modern United States, working with AIDS sufferers in rural Uganda, or trying to make sense of conflicting data on church, world, and gospel. This book makes available a wealth of mission experience, bread for the journey for all those engaged in ecclesial work, whether in the First World or the Third. While many speak about the importance of wisdom theology"" as something there ought to be more of,"" Gittins simply does wisdom theology. Bread for the Journey bridges the boundaries between spirituality and theology, mission and anthropology. It will transform your view of Christian vocation.

About the Author :
Anthony J. Gittins, CSSp, is emeritus professor of theology and culture at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. Born in Manchester, England, he earned an MA and PhD from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He was ordained a priest in 1967 and is an internationally recognized lecturer and retreat master. Father Gittins is the author of 18 books, including two previous works on the theology of discipleship: Encountering Jesus: How People Come to Faith and Discover Discipleship and A Presence That Disturbs: A Call to Radical Discipleship.

Review :
""Probes many of the fundamental questions about the aims and methods of Christian mission.... What Gittins brings distinctively to bear on these questions is the discipline of anthropology, a depth of personal spirituality, and years of engagement and friendship with peoples of other cultures and faiths." Margaret F. Loftus, SND Executive Director, U.S. Catholic Mission Association Washington, DC ""Bread for the Journey is what many of today's missionaries long for. It is an honest assessment of the complex situations of mission as we approach the third millennium.... Gittins brings critical, disciplined thinking to bear on many areas of tension.... This is a book on mission today and in the coming years which I heartily recommend to missionaries of all Christian churches." William Jenkinson, C.S.Sp. Executive Director, SEDOS, Rome, Italy ""Inculturation is a Gospel imperative...a slow process whereby, through dialogue, cultures and evangelizers are transformed. It is risky, as all creative change must be. Gittins develops these points with consummate skill.... His case study analyses are superb. I finished Bread for the Journey excited - even inspired - by his insights." Gerald A. Arbuckle, SM Refounding and Pastoral Development Unity Sydney, Australia
