512 pages. cover worn Does religious life still make sense today? Author of New Wineskins, Sandra S chneiders began a brilliant yet controversial examination of modern religious li fe in her acclaimed book Finding the Treasure. That first title located religiou s life within the multiple realities of today's postmodern world and post-Vatica n II Church. This new volume examines today's post-conciliar, post-modern religi ous life from the inside, looking at the make-up of religious life's specific identity and how it functions today. She does this through the three lenses of c ommitment, consecrated celibacy, and community. Through the lens of commitment, Schneiders surveys the process of entering the religious life, from the first ex perience of a call to a final promise of perpetual profession. She also explores the theological concept of divine call, as well as the psychological and spirit ual process of human discernment. And she shows how realistic commitment is poss ible even in today's world of kaleidoscopic change and instability. Schneiders t hen examines consecrated celibacy from theological, biblical, and feminist stand points. Last, she explores the theological and prophetic nature of community lif e as a Gospel imperative both shared by Christians and unique to religious. And she raises sociological and spiritual questions about the forms and lifestyles o f community life. Perhaps even more than the first volume, Selling All extends b eyond its primary audience of women religious to include male religious, religio us of other denominations, spiritual directors, retreat directors, and all lay C hristians on a serious spiritual quest. The book is also invaluable for use by g eneral chapters, in formation programs, and by study groups. .…
