	Religious Book with Minnesota Ties Star Tribune July 4, 2008 http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/faith/23281959.html?location_refer=Homepage:highlightModules:6 Local authors are prolific producers of religious books. Here are some of the new books with Minnesota roots: "More Cat Psalms: Prayers My Cats Have Taught Me" and "More Dog Psalms: Prayers My Dogs Have Taught Me" both by Herbert Brokering (Augsburg Fortress, $8.99). These sequels to the 2003 originals offer a second helping of wit and whimsy from the animal-loving Bloomington pastor. "Twentieth-Century Global Christianity: A People's History of Christianity" by Mary Farrell Bednarowski (Fortress Press, $35). This is the seventh and final book in this history series by the professor emeritus of religious studies at United Theological Seminary. "Covenantal Conversations: Christians in Dialogue With Jews and Judaism" by Darrell Jodock (Fortress Press, $22). A professor of religion at Gustavus Adolphus College, Jodock tapped both Christian and Jewish scholars for this examination of the modern Jewish-Christian relationship. "Crazy Talk: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Theological Terms" by Rolf Jacobson (Augsburg Fortress, $12.99). Jacobson rounded up several of his fellow professors at Luther Seminary to come up with this book of comical definitions. "An Irish Tragedy: How Sex Abuse by Irish Priests Helped Cripple the Catholic Church" by Joe Rigert (Crossland Press, $10.99). Rigert, a veteran investigative journalist, is retired from the Star Tribune. His search for the roots of the Roman Catholic church's sex-abuse scandal led him to Ireland and a society, he argues, that fostered criminal sexual activity. "40-Day Journey With Martin Luther" by Gracia Grindal (Augsburg Fortress, $11.99). A professor at Luther Seminary, Grindal muses on 40 of Luther's inspiring messages.
