Auschwitz n'est pas un simple fait historique : c'est un arche¿type de notre trage¿die. Comment peut-on sortir d'une telle barbarie contem- poraine ? Pour y re¿pondre, l'auteur nous invite ä un exode hors de la pense¿e occidentale qui a nalement abouti au totalitarisme (e¿cono- technobureaucratie). Le point de de¿part d'une telle entreprise consiste en une ge¿ne¿alogie de l'ontothe¿ologie qui a conduit ä la de¿shuman- isation et ä l'e acement d'autrui. Pour en sortir, une conversion du regard est indispensable. L'auteur propose donc de scruter la pense¿e de Gre¿goire de Nysse et de Mai¿tre Eckhart a n d'y de¿couvrir un courant enracine¿ dans la pense¿e he¿brai¿que, qui l'irrigue de manie¿re souter- raine. C'est une voie d'exode vers l'accueil de l'autre, voie par laquelle le monde contemporain peut retrouver l'humanite¿.Hisao Miyamoto, ne¿ en 1945 ä Nagaoka (re¿gion de Nigata, Japon), fre¿re dominicain, ancien e¿le¿ve de l'E¿cole biblique de Je¿rusalem, professeur e¿me¿rite de l'universite¿ de Tokyo (Graduate school of Artand Science), ancien professeur de l'universite¿ Sophia (Universite¿ je¿suite - Jöchi, Faculty of eology and Graduate School), est actuelle- ment directeur du Centre de la culture chre¿tienne ä la Tokyo Junshin University.

Ecological Aspects of War reflects on warfare in the larger context of planetary relationality – not only the limits that must be respected in human conflicts, but also the impact of war on the larger created order. From the ancient legal constraint that fruit trees should not be destroyed in siege warfare (Deuteronomy 20) to the incarnational embedding of Christ in the material world, there is a broad range of theological issues to consider in re-imagining our relationships within the biosphere. This admirable Australian discussion demonstrates afresh how Christian theological traditions envisage an inter-species responsibility, and in addition, takes the necessary step of including Muslim and Buddhist perspectives on these most pressing issues. Australians’ ecological footprints are among the heaviest on earth. Australia is a combatant in its longest running war. Despite this, ecological, economic and military crises and are largely absent from public discourse and most Australians continue to live, and our governments continue to operate, as if the earth had no limits and the war did not exist. Situating questions of war and peace in an ecological framework, contributors use varied faith perspectives and approaches to highlight the interconnectedness of all life and the interrelationships between war and violent economic systems that normalise destructive commercial-industrial practices and promote irresponsible patterns of consumption and waste production. Ecological Aspects of War has the potential to help us muster the collective spiritual, moral and cultural resources needed to come to grips with the ecological, economic and military crises in which we are complicit and to imagine and create non-violent life-giving alternatives. It is a timely and important contribution.

This volume of essays deals with the critical issue of water and a lack of it. It deals with the scientific, theological, biblical and social issues.

The Bonhoeffer Legacy: Australasian Journal of Bonhoeffer Studies is a fully refereed academic journal aimed principally at providing an outlet for an ever expanding Bonhoeffer scholarship in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific region, as well as being open to article submissions from Bonhoeffer scholars throughout the world. It also aims to elicit and encourage future and ongoing scholarship in the field. The focus of the journal, captured in the notion of Legacy'', is on any aspect of Bonhoeffer''s life, theology and political action that is relevant to his immense contribution to twentieth century events and scholarship. Legacy'' can be understood as including those events and ideas that contributed to Bonhoeffer''s own development, those that constituted his own context or those that have developed since his time as a result of his work. The editors encourage and welcome any scholarship that contributes to the journal''s aims. The journal also has book reviews.

The object of this book is to provide an opportunity for voices of other religions to be heard as Australia celebrates its first Catholic saint, Mary MacKillop of the Cross. It is the first publication that seeks to bring together a representative collection of contributions. Here are reflections on sainthood and heroes of faith from within different religious traditions and different Christian denominations. The direction given to contributors was that they illustrate how holy persons and heroes are esteemed in their own tradition and how this might frame that tradition's appreciation of Mary MacKillop. From this, it is hoped that the collection will provide an example of how she might contribute to the wider Australian religious landscape. Herein, the reader will find critical yet appreciative reflections from Catholic and Seventh Day Adventist to Jewish and Muslim writers. Some have taken the brief as an opportunity to reveal more of the heroes and saints of their own tradition and how they came to be esteemed. Others have directly described how their own tradition esteems saints and heroes in general in order to bring distinct and evocative appreciations of Mary MacKillop, now given hues from a Protestant, Orthodox or Lutheran palette. But whether Baptist or Anglican or traditions beyond Christianity, the writers have extended the capacity of Australians to appreciate Mary MacKillop as an Australian saint and hero, albeit remaining within a religious framework.
