Between Heaven and Earth

"Gerhard Lohfink offers yet another new text that is fully biblical, theological, liturgical, and practical in his presentation of Christian theology for our time. Every page challenges the reader to reconsider, to pray again scriptural texts that have too soon been filed under 'been there, studied that' in our minds. Lohfink's paragraphs sharpen knowledge and faith with a 'both/and' dialectic that is harder to put down than a favorite novel."
Eileen C. Burke-Sullivan, Vice President for Mission and Ministry, Creighton University

"Between Heaven and Earth is a reflective work, inviting the reader to a personal encounter with Scripture."
The Bible Today
"Once again Gerhard Lohfink has given us such profound and challenging themes to reflect upon and pray about."
Catholic Books Review


"Reverend Gerhard Lohfink is a Scripture scholar with a keen appreciation of the work of the Catholic Church, who presents his beautiful and complex texts in a comfortable, easy and friendly style, opening the doors of wisdom to his readers. He asks questions, even those that he himself has, and proceeds to answer the questions through his journeys through Scripture."
Catholic Media Association

"It is not an understatement for me to say that, like Lohfink's earlier books, Between Heaven and Earth has broadened my understanding of sacred Scripture, has enriched my preaching, has stirred within me a more critical appreciation of the tension between a church grounded in biblical faith and the contemporary world, and, perhaps most importantly, has challenged me to become a more committed disciple of Jesus."
