Theology
“With the modern world's new appreciation for the fragility of this planet and the first papal encyclical calling all Christians to an 'ecological spirituality,' the time is right to return to classical texts and see how foundational thinkers like St. Augustine of Hippo embraced and elucidated the goodness of creation. Jared Ortiz accordingly offers an unmatchable work by showing how creation is richly understood throughout Augustine's Confessions. Ortiz rightly shows how Augustine's creation is God's primal and persistent invitation to all, the place where the human person encounters the divine, and the fruitful source of the church's consecration.”
A Catholic Reading Guide to Universalism
Theology
“The most common idol we cling to is a God who rewards when we are good, punishes when we are bad. That is not the God of Christ, who longs to gather all his children in an eternal embrace of love, an embrace no sinner ever deserves. Wild's far-reaching pages suggest the salvation of all might be the healthiest 'default' theology: a God who will not rest until everyone made in his own image realizes and appropriates his perfect love.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Augustine calls the universal hope for happiness humanity's 'secret conspiracy'. In these pages Father Emmanuel-Marie blows open this conspiracy by showing how Augustine understood human nature and the God who becomes human in order to satisfy our restless hearts.":”
Henri de Lubac and the Shaping of Modern Theology
Theology
“Henri de Lubac studied in sanctity and suffered in silence. Underappreciated in his lifetime, his work prepared the way for much of the renewed biblical theology of Vatican II as well as today's revival of the Church Fathers as sure guides to the mind of Christ and his Church. Grumett's illuminating comments and de Lubac's most important pages converge here to help us appreciate the life and the work of one of the twentieth century's most important theologians.”
History & Biography
“Fr. Slattery's book on true heroism shows us that holy courage and love is what made countless clerics so pivotal in the Western world.”
How to Destroy Western Civilization and Other Ideas from the Cultural Abyss
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“If Western civilization is imploding, the sole corrective is to detonate it with love, the only reality able to move both minds and hearts truly. Dr. Kreeft does precisely this in his explosive call for a renewal of family life, of a culture aware of what it is worshipping, and of a freedom that allows humans to embrace the fullness of life for which they have been created in Christ.”
“Two teachers we all know and trust enter into a dialogue to bring forth a Confessions for our day.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Through four lengthy interviews with steadfast guides and seasoned Churchmen, Father Granados' book will help a new generation of priests understand what makes a man an alter Christus—teacher, father, physician, shepherd—but above all a lover of souls and a man fi lled with the alluring joy of Christ's own heart.”
Philosophy
“This work is a call to wonder! Professor Engelland has reflected deeply on the questions that move the human heart--love, beauty, goodness, truth. These pages thus serve as a form of spiritual exercise for thinkers, aiming to arouse us from our various levels of psychic torpor and to bring us to see the marvels of existence at all levels.”
