History & Biography
“This book is a delectable collection of articles by today's best living theologians. Packed with tight and beautifully composed arguments, this book is a treat to devour. . . . This enduringly valuable collection is a fitting tribute to the genius of Ralph del Colle.”
Theology
“Ecce Homo: On the Divine Unity of Christ fulfills a need for a readable, philosophically well-informed Christology. Perceiving that the great temptation of modern Christians is to imagine Jesus as so very nice that he was just about God, Riches shows how the Christian tradition has envisaged Jesus as so profoundly divine that he was able to enter human nature and transform it. . . . With his learned reinterpretation of the tradition, Riches is creating a new paradigm for Christology. This book is a milestone for Christology in the twenty-first century.”
Theology
“An exceptionally readable introduction to modern theology. Exploring Catholic Theology could be read for pleasure and for profit by undergraduate students, professors, pastors, and lay parish leaders. Barron is recreating apologetics at a more imaginative and challenging level. Everyone who meditates on this book will discover something new about how to witness to the truth of Christianity in a postmodern culture.”
Philosophy
“To read James Colbert’s translation is to hear Gilson’s own voice. Colbert captures Gilson’s style perfectly. For Gilson, in these essays, the style is the man: witty, analytical, curious, intelligent. The classical precision of Gilson’s matchless thinking about art and aesthetics is once again on display. These essays by Gilson on art within mass culture are an important addition to our understanding of Gilson’s aesthetics, itself the most thoughtful Christian philosophy of art in the twentieth century.”
Philosophy
“Ressourcement and modern Augustinian philosophical theology have been called on their apparent `fideism': Schindler's response is a resounding philosophical 'Come at me, bro!' The Catholicity of Reason is the most stimulating text in philosophy of religion to appear for many years. . . . It's the `must read' book of 2013.”
Theology
“This book is a striking work of original theology, effortlessly synthesizing philosophical phenomenology, spirituality, and doctrinal theology. Although it is more readable than most contemporary academic theology, it is simultaneously more profound and more intellectually challenging. It teaches readers what Jesus means by 'the kingdom of God.' It was a wonderful experience to hear anew the voice of Dallas Willard in this book, but also a great experience to discover a new, young, and vibrant theologian--the author.”
Theology
“Crystal clear, compendious, and compact, this book is a brilliant and useful introduction to Mariology. In it we see a master craftsman at work in Christian theology.”
