Dr. Marc Lavallee (Humanities and Christian Doctrine) has been offered a publication contract with Wipf and Stock Publishers under their Cascade Books imprint. According to Wipf and Stock, "Cascade Books is the most selective of the four imprints of Wipf and Stock Publishers. Under this imprint, we publish new books that combine academic rigor with broad appeal and readability. Encompassing all the major areas of theology and religion, Cascade Books has published such major authors as Stanley Hauerwas, Jürgen Moltmann, John Milbank, John Howard Yoder, Margaret Miles, and Walter Brueggemann." Dr. Lavallee's book project develops a theological hermeneutic through a practical theological examination of historical and contemporary practices of spiritual discernment. Each chapter analyzes a particular tradition of discernment in Catholic spirituality (desert, Benedictine, Ignatian), as well as living communities’ practices of discernment (in ministry, education, and research) that embody and contribute to these traditions. The book is due out in early 2022.
