Letter & Spirit is a journal of Catholic biblical theology for the new millennium. It seeks to foster deeper understanding of sacred Scripture and the divine liturgy of the Church.

Letter & Spirit, Vol. 5: Liturgy and Empire: Faith in Exile and Political Theology features important new works by Scott Hahn, Brant Pitre, Matthew Levering, and Robert Barron, among others. The issue explores the biblical themes of Church and State, idolatry and power, religion and violence, worship and sacrifice, the Kingdom of God, and the Eucharist. Highlights include Hahn’s new essay on the “prophetic historiography” of 1 and 2 Chronicles and Pitre’s essay on “Jesus, the Messianic Banquet, and the Kingdom of God.” The journal, which always seeks to reprint classic texts alongside groundbreaking new works, includes a new translation of St. Thomas Aquinas’ “Lectures on 2 Thessalonians,” translated for the first time in English. Also included is an influential essay by Louis Bouyer on “Satan and Christ in the New Testament and Early Tradition.” The volume concludes with a classic homily by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) on the “morality of exile.”
