Boston College will host a book launch event for the new book Hope: Promise, Possibility, and Fulfillment (Paulist Press, 2013) on Nov. 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the Heights Room, Corcoran Commons. Edited by School of Theology and Ministry faculty members Rev. Richard Lennan and Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Hope addresses both the possibility that Christian hope offers and the capacity of hope to respond to the challenges that life presents. Each of the essays in Hope is authored by a faculty member in the School of Theology and Ministry. The book presents a theology of hope and as such offers a connection between the Christian tradition and the concrete circumstances of contemporary society in order to show the difference that hope can make. Joining the contributing editors at the book launch will be contributors Christopher R. Matthews and John R. Sachs, S.J. Sponsors: School of Theology and Ministry, Paulist Press, and The Church in the 21^st Century Center.
