    Mac Loftin, One On One Interview | Orbis Books
    Jan 8 2026
    Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with
    Mac Loftin, as they discuss In the Twilight of the Christian West: A Theology of Mourning and Resistance.

    https://maryknoll.link/opg

    Countering this malignant theology, Loftin draws on the vision of antifascist thinkers, mystics, and theologians including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Simone Weil, and Michel de Certeau. He reveals how these revolutionaries forged potent theological resistance in their own fraught political moments by recovering a radically different Christian tradition: one that embraces impermanence, reconciliation, difference, and the liberative work of mourning.

    Mac Loftin is lecturer on theology at Harvard University. His writing has appeared in Political Theology, The Christian Century, and Earth & Altar.

    Rebecca Bratten Weiss, One On One Interview | Orbis Books
    Dec 18 2025
    Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with
    Rebecca Bratten Weiss, as they discuss The Books That Made Us: Deconstructing the Modern Christian Classics.

    https://maryknoll.link/80c4d8

    What do you do when you realize that the books you were taught to revere imbued you with false perspectives on humanity, society, and morals?

    This is the question editor and journalist Rebecca Bratten Weiss poses, as she revisits beloved but problematic Christian writers like G.K. Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, J.R.R. Tolkien, Evelyn Waugh, and C.S. Lewis. While documenting her journey out of conservative Christian culture, Bratten Weiss sorts through the rubble of old beliefs, discerning which to discard and which to keep.

    The Books That Made Us reminds readers how powerfully literature can shape us—and how devastatingly it can harm us.

    Rebecca Bratten Weiss is digital editor at U.S. Catholic magazine, co-host of the Glad You Asked podcast, and a regular contributor to the National Catholic Reporter. She has published extensively on religion, culture, and politics, and is co-editor (with Jessica Mesman) of Sick Pilgrims: An Anthology of Catholic Spiritual Autobiography.

    James Douglass, One On One Interview | Orbis Books
    Oct 30 2025
    Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with author James W. Douglass, as they discuss Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Martin, Malcolm, and RFK

    https://maryknoll.link/bxy

    Here at last is the long-awaited sequel to James Douglass's bestselling work, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters. That book, unlike most books that posit a conspiracy in JFK's assassination, focuses less on "who dunnit" as on "why they dunnit." Douglas's answer was to trace the steps by which JFK moved from being a traditional Cold Warrior to a prophetic commitment to peace, willing to risk his own life in order to avoid nuclear war. In particular JFK's partnership in pursuit of peace with ostensible adversary, Nikita Khrushchev, caused him to be regarded as a traitor by elements of the military-industrial-intelligence complex who deployed the mechanisms of the National Security State--which had previously targeted foreign "threats"--to neutralize the President of the United States.


    This new volume necessarily returns to the story of JFK, and demonstrates how the same story was enacted again and again in the deaths of his brother, Bobby Kennedy, as well as the killings of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. In each case, American figures who made a prophetic commitment to peace and social transformation were regarded as enemies of the state who had to be eliminated. Douglass believes that this hidden history holds a key to recovering and advancing their mission, and setting our country and the world on a path to peace.


    James W. Douglass is a longtime peace activist and writer. He and his wife Shelley are co-founders of the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action in Poulsbo, WA, and Mary’s House, a Catholic Worker house of hospitality in Birmingham, AL, where they now live. His other books include The Nonviolent Coming of God, Resistance and Contemplation, Gandhi and the Unspeakable, and JFK and the Unspeakable.

    Dustin Feddon, One On One Interview | Orbis Books
    Oct 2 2025
    Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with author Fr. Dustin Feddon, as they discuss More Than Half Way Home: A Story of Accompaniment in the Shadows of Incarceration.

    https://maryknoll.link/p1h

    When Dustin Feddon began accompanying men on death row and in solitary confinement, he saw a broken system that failed man after man within its walls. Even for those in “release” programs, what he saw—and the men he met—compelled him to ask if there could be new kinds of spaces, not confined spaces or “halfway houses,” but communities that welcomed people back into the human family, re-affirming their dignity? The answer he discovered, was a resounding Yes. That yes began a new community—and the story of Joseph House.

    Fr. Dustin Feddon, a Catholic priest of the diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, is founder and executive director of Joseph House, a home and community for men released from prison. Fr. Dustin and Joseph House have partnered with Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), Legal Defense Fund, and other groups fighting for greater justice and mercy for those impacted by the criminal justice system

    Wes Granberg-Michaelson, One On One Interview | Orbis Books
    Sep 18 2025
    Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with author Wesley Granberg-Michaelson, as they discuss The Soulwork of Justice: Four Movements for Contemplative Action.
    https://maryknoll.link/1yu

    Former politico, long-time activist, and faith leader Wes Granberg-Michaelson (Without Oars: Casting Off into a Life of Pilgrimage) looks at a life in activism. advocacy, and ministry to reveal four key discernable movements of a lifelong soul journey to God's justice. He's also witnessed these elements consistently in the lives of others devoted to both soul-care and justice. Now he offers these four key movements for anyone at any age wanting to step into the entwined lineage of justice and soul work. While all experience it, few justice leaders talk about in the often exhausting effort of their work, and how critical soulwork--spiritual formation--is for sustaining a life of outward social witness.

    Culled from the wisdom of decades of leadership experience in global ecumenical initiatives, religious organizations, and social justice movements, this book combines tenacity of vision with the groundedness of soul that has sustained Granberg-Michaelson even as it offers support to others engaged in the work for a lifetime and beyond.

    Wesley Granberg-Michaelson is a writer, speaker, and global ecumenical leader working at the intersection of faith, justice, and public life. Previously a legislative assistant to Senator Mark O. Hatfield and Director of Church and Society for the World Council of Churches, he now serves on the board of the Global Christian Forum. He and his wife, Kaarin, live in Santa Fe, NM.
