New City Press

Since 1964, New City Press has published books that build on the centuries-long tradition of the Church, yet also foster a modern and communitarian approach to Christian living. Our "Spirituality of Unity" series features the writings of Focolare founder Chiara Lubich. We also publish spiritual writing by other contemporary authors such as M. Basil... Pennington, George Maloney, and Olivier Clement. "Spirituality through the Ages" presents selected writings by men and women whose experience and doctrine have helped shape Christianity. Recent releases feature John Henry Newman, Teilhard de Chardin, and Teresa of Avila. "Understanding the Scriptures" offers accessible Bible commentaries written by respected scholars, including Daniel Harrington, Dianne Bergant, and Ronald Witherup. Our catalog also includes the collected works of important figures in the history of the Church, featuring new translations and latest scholarship: the "Works of Saint Augustine" (30 volumes of a projected 45 are available); "Francis and Clare of Assisi: Early Documents"; "Saint Vincent de Paul: Correspondence, Conferences, Documents" (10 volumes); and "Elizabeth Bayley Seton: Collected Writings" (2 volumes). New City Press is one of 27 publishing houses operated by the Focolare Movement (see www.focolare.org for a complete list).Read More
