Chiara Lubich’s Communitarian Way to Holiness by Paloma Cabetas (New City, £5). Paloma Cabetas is co-director of the Focolare Movement, founded by Chiara Lubich in Italy in 1943. Taking as her text John 17:11-19, the author shows how deeply the Focolare was rooted in the theology of chapter 17 of St John’s Gospel. As Lubich realised, followers of Jesus are not called so much to individualistic moral and spiritual perfection as to unity in love. This slim book, which includes a brief biography of Lubich, is an excellent introduction to the new movement she inspired.
