David L. Schindler
Theology
“Cardinal Ratzinger guides us through today's confusion about the faith back to the core from which the life of the Church unfolds: communion. At the end of the journey, we not only have a better grasp of the controverted issues of the day, but also a renewed understanding of the central mystery of the Church and a powerful encouragement to the theological and spiritual renewal envisaged by the Second Vatican Council.”
Science & Faith
“The assumption persists that modern science is free of metaphysical and theological presuppositions, and therefore neutral in their regard. Appealing to the image of God and nature found in the Christian doctrine of creation, Fr. David Alcalde, trained as both a theologian and an astrophysicist, examines this assumption from both ‘sides’—and clearly exposes its problematic character.”
Theology
“An utterly fascinating book! Speaking from the unique perspective of their fifty years of friendship, Stanisław Grygiel offers keen insight into the life and work of St. John Paul II as well as the great issues of our time.”
Theology
“Pondering the confession of the ‘one Lord Jesus Christ’ that is the basis of the Nicene faith, Riches demonstrates what is at stake in recognizing that Christianity reaches into the most intimate depths of the human being.”
Henri de Lubac and the Shaping of Modern Theology
Theology
“A wonderfully complete overview of the life and work of Henri de Lubac! The readings capture well the range and depth of his theology. This will be a vade mecum for all those who study de Lubac—and wish to follow him in the vast sweep of his different undertakings over nearly a century.”
Theology
“This book contains a treasury of reflections on the meaning of Mary for the Church, theology, and indeed for anthropology generally. An indispensable source for anyone who would understand the Marian doctrine intended by the Council and in the pontificate of John Paul IIand now Benedict XVI.”
History & Biography
“In providing the author's own guide to his vast corpus, My Work becomes indispensable for anyone who would understand the constellation of von Balthasar's ideas and mission.”
Notes on Bergson and Descartes
Philosophy
“Charles Péguy, a significant thinker in turn-of-the-20th-century France, remains an enigmatic figure in the English-speaking world. Notes on Bergson and Descartes contains Péguy's defense of his former teacher, philosopher Henri Bergson, in an effort to protect the latter from the Catholic Index. Péguy vigorously supported Bergson's insistence on thinking about the most important questions, and the included essays more generally display how Péguy took up in his own way Bergson's efforts to ‘re-deepen’ the heritage of Christianity while exposing the spiritual bleakness of modernity. We are indebted to Ward for translating these important if demanding works, by one of the truly profound men of our time.”
Radical Orthodoxy: Annual Review I
Theology
“The present essays undertake a conversation the importance of which is impossible to exaggerate. . . . They direct us beyond liberal modernity's form of the 'self-possessive' and its 'homelessness' to a created world centered in liturgy and community.”
Theology
“In this profound series of meditations, Ratzinger shows the enduring core of his theology. Ratzinger shows that man's knowledge of God depends on the relationship that a man establishes between himself and the world and his life; that the question of whether God exists can be answered only in terms of some image of who or what God is, of some sense of how he shapes the whole of our existence.”
Theology
“This reflection by one of the century's great Catholic theologians on the theology of one of the century's great Protestant theologians is an example of ecumenical dialogue at its best. One finds here a sympathetic and at the same time faithfully Catholic discussion of the major issues surrounding Barth's christocentricity. The appearance of an unabridged English translation of this book could hardly be more timely for the current religious situation in North America.”
History & Biography
“This book engages honestly and intelligently a central issue of our time. Mattson tells a personal story that will be helpful and inspiring for all who struggle with sexual identity.”
