Approaching the End

Theology

“Once again the master brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old -- I shall return to these essays with gratitude for their grace and insight.”

Facing the Other

Philosophy

“Karol Wojtyla and Emmanuel Levinas, obviously two of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, each profoundly original and deeply immersed in his own distinctive tradition, were yet able to meet in fruitful conversation on central questions about human nature and destiny, as Nigel Zimmermann shows in this lucidly and elegantly argued account.”

Incarnation

Theology

“No more books by Thomas F. Torrance were needed to confirm his standing among English-speaking theologians, or to display his gifts as the most readable and challenging Scottish theologian of all time (not forgetting John Duns Scotus, for whom he had such esteem). None of the books that appeared in his lifetime bears in such a focused way on the person of Christ and his significance for salvation. With his almost unique command of the biblical as well as of the patristic sources, clarity of expression, passion for orthodoxy, and unmistakable (though unobtrusive) personal faith, Professor Torrance still has something new to teach us.”

The Eschatological Person

Theology

“Comparing and contrasting two distinctively idiosyncratic modern theologians, Alexander Schmemann and Joseph Ratzinger, . . . we are shown how their exposition of Christian eschatology bears on the matter—in short, we are invited to recognize in this richly documented and yet very readable account what it means for us in Christian perspective to be persons in time.”

The Problem of Evil and the Problem of God

Philosophy

“This is a wonderful book, clearly written, often moving, an exercise in philosophical elucidation that clears the ground for serious engagement with traditional Catholic Christian doctrine and especially the theology of Thomas Aquinas.”
