Agape and Hesed-Ahava

Theology

“In this volume, David Goicoechea continues his decades-long study of love. He combines autobiography (his years in Catholic seminaries studying for the priesthood), biblical study, and postmodern philosophy. This is a heady mix, which leads to striking insights and correlations regarding what is the most important thing in life and death.”

Amazing Grace!

Theology

“In many previous books, Owen Cummings has shown a knack for making complicated theological matters clear. Here he applies that skill to the theology of grace, taking us to the heart of Christianity: divine gift and human gratitude. He has chosen wisely which windows to look through, allowing the reader to think their own way into the complexity and simplicity of grace.”

How Great Thou Art!

Theology

“Living in a county that touts itself as ‘The Eden at the End of the Oregon Trail’ and with access to a well-stocked library, Owen Cummings has written an encompassing and concentrated book on the history of the theology of creation from the perspective of praise and gratitude. He writes lucidly for educated readers, urging them to understand creation as God’s ongoing gift and to respond to that gift in grateful prayer.”

Illustrious Authors of the Order of St. Benedict

History & Biography

“John Trithemius (d. 1516) was a Benedictine abbot, scholar, and lover and collector of books. In this excerpt from his larger work, On the Illustrious Members of the Benedictine Order, he provides brief biographical-bibliographical information on 143 Benedictine writers who lived during the first thousand years of the order. Anyone who loves reading, monk or otherwise, will be moved by his closing exhortation urging study of holy writings, made widely available by the then recent invention of the printing press.”
