Rekindle the Gift of God

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A work both profound and practical in the guidance it provides. No priest will want to be without this wonderful volume.”

Social Catholicism for the Twenty-First Century?—Volume 1

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The antiliberal and antidemocratic drift of some contemporary conservatism has found an unforeseen expression in the re-emergence of Catholic integralism—a tradition that resists the postwar evolution of Catholic social doctrine as the papal and conciliar magisterium moved toward a reconciliation with constitutional democracy and a strong affirmation of human dignity and rights against totalitarian threats. Partly in response to these developments, William Murphy has brought together in these volumes a forceful reaffirmation of social Catholicism that is both timely and welcome. These two volumes will be essential reading not only for scholars and students, but also for bishops, policymakers and advocates.”

The Voice of the Church at Prayer

Preaching & Worship

“The place of language in the liturgy is a much discussed topic today, both in scholarship and in pastoral practice. A welcome contribution to this debate, this important book presents the key issues within a wide historical and theological perspective. By doing so, Fr Lang is able to explain the reasons that motivated the current revision of vernacular translations produced in the immediate aftermath of the Second Vatican Council as well as the factors that drive the broad movement towards an more extended use of Latin in the Catholic liturgy.”

Will Many Be Saved?

Theology

“These penetrating reflections will compel us to reassess our pastoral approach to the preaching of the gospel in our present circumstances. An important book.”
