Davide Caldirola
Twelve hours in a day
Pgs. 224 

The thread running through the book is the passing of time. The title, quoting the well-known phrase in John’s Gospel, refers to the days: Jesus’ days as well as ours. Morning, afternoon, evening, night: to each of these moments the dedicates some meditations that deal not only with the chronological time, but also with what each particular part of the day can suggest and recall: a feeling, an attitude… (the hour of the betrayal, of the rest, of the walk…).


Franco Boscione
Feelings and affections in the Bible
Pgs. 264

The book consists of two parts. In the first part feelings are analysed from a scientific point of view: the author gives a psychological definition and a classification of feelings (passions, moods, emotions…); it also includes a brief history of philosophy concerning the same subject.
The second part presents, in alphabetical order, the emotions that come up from the pages of the Bible, paying particular attention to the Gospels and the life of Jesus.

Pierluigi Plata
Thoughts during a funeral
Questions urging faith
Pgs. 96

 
This little volume tries to answer the most frequently asked questions about the mystery of death, as they could arise spontaneously in people who are attending a funeral. «This short work – the author explains –, comes from the request of believers and brothers to translate the eschatological themes for the practising Christians who, after the death of somebody they are close to, would like to read something which can comfort them with the certainties deriving from faith», inviting the reader «not to be contented with the ready-made answers that give no satisfaction at all».
