Convivium Press is happy to announce the January :oI:release of Gospel and

Traditionby Bernard Sesbo SJ. In this book Sesbo addresses the issue of church
tradition and its meaning and signicance for contemporary Christian life.
The question of how tradition interacts with the genuinely new circumstances
under which the gospel of Jesus Christ must be proclaimed in our day is among the
most pressing with which theologians of all confessions must deal. Thus, it is
marvelous that we now have available to us Bernard Sesbo's theological work.
With rootedness, not only in the Catholic tradition, but in a broad and eirenic
catholicity, Sesbo draws upon the churchs traditions of doctrinal development,
deft adaptation to cultural circumstances, and condence in the power of the gospel
message to be bourne by a variety of ecclesiological images in order to offer rich
insights into the possibilities of how tradition might function as a vital category in
the churchs contemporary witness. Theologians across geographic and ecclesial
boundaries will benet mightily from this work.

Gospel and tradition are two dynamic entities that mutually inuence each other.
In this book the French theologian Bernard Sesbo describes the history and
topicality of these concepts in the church. He also demonstrates how the combina-
tion of gospel and tradition, as transmitted in the church, is both a treasure to be
cherished, and at the same time, it offers us the opportunity and challenge to bring
that treasure to light in a complex world.
