A Catholic Introduction to the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Truly a magnificent achievement. It offers one of the most desperately needed elements of a renewed biblical pedagogy, the restoration of the Old Testament to its rightfully indispensable place in the life of the Church.”
Theology
“These essays represent some of the richest and most profound work on the theology of the Trinity in our time. They are indispensable for the study of Augustine and will be an inspiration for anyone interested in the renewal of historical theology today. Highly recommended!”
Augustine and the Mystery of the Church
Theology
“Augustine's theology of the Church is notoriously elusive because it is characteristically subtle. James Lee has made an outstanding contribution in providing an introduction that is not elusive but preserves and communicates Augustine's subtlety, and in an admirably brief compass. The book will serve equally well as a teaching resource and as a contribution to Augustinian scholarship. It is at once theological, ecclesial, and ecumenical in appeal. Highly recommended.”
Bonaventure, John Duns Scotus, and the Franciscan Tradition
Theology
“It is terrific to see these volumes appear in print. There is no greater authority on the Franciscan tradition than Fr. Fehlner, and these are certain to become standard reading for students of the history of theology and for interested readers more broadly speaking. Highly Recommended!”
Dialectical Anatomy of the Eucharist
Theology
“This book offers a fresh approach to our theological understanding of the Eucharist by providing a new philosophical underpinning. It really is a breathtaking approach that is sure to increase the profundity of our appreciation of the Eucharist, useful for theologians, philosophers, and other interested readers alike.”
Engaging the Doctrine of Creation
Theology
“This book is breathtaking in its scope and astonishing in its erudition and creativity. The doctrine of creation suffered gradual attenuation in the theology of the twentieth century, and this book--engaged with modern science and philosophy but not limited to that engagement--is a welcome and refreshing accomplishment in retrieval and reinvigoration. It will prove useful in undergraduate and graduate education alike as well as for any interested educated reader.”
Engaging the Doctrine of Marriage
Theology
“This book, animated by a spirit of warmth, offers a vision of sacramental marriage that is both traditional and creative. Levering allows the beauty of the sacramental way of life to shine through the technical distinctions that have sometimes seemed to obscure it. This is a learned and inspiring book.”
Theology
“Elizabeth Klein has written a splendid book. Its readable style and accessible presentation belie its sophistication and depth, and make for an introductory book that is also engaging, even for advanced readers. The last chapter is sublime and alone worth the price of the book.”
Theology
“In these superb and brilliant studies, Fr. Peter Fehlner proves himself to be the architect of a wholesale renewal of Christian theology through a renewal of Marian theology. The mystery of Mary, Mother of God, leads one to a metaphysics which, far from abstracting for the concrete specificity of incarnation and revelation, guarantees its primacy. We can almost see St. Francis, building the first creche scene, as the ultimate inspiration of this truly magnificent work.”
Studies Systematic and Critical
Theology
“It is terrific to see these volumes appear in print. There is no greater authority on the Franciscan tradition than Fr. Fehlner, and these are certain to become standard reading for students of the history of theology and for interested readers more broadly speaking. Highly recommended!”
Arts & Literature
“Though formally centered around the theme of a theological aesthetic, the range of these essays is enormous. From cosmology and ecology to Mariology and ecclesiology, from politics and philosophy to art and interfaith dialogue, these essays will have the widest possible readership in classrooms, and will appeal as well to the general reader who is looking for a thread of grace, faith, and love to unite all of these disciplines in just the way that Stratford Caldecott, to whom the volume is dedicated, had taught us to see them. The star-studded cast of authors adds a special appeal to this tribute.”
Science & Faith
“Barr has given us a treasure trove in this collection of essays, full of his characteristic brilliance and his trademark ability to make complex ideas accessible to nonspecialists. This book will prove its value for years to come, both inside the classroom and out.”
Theology
“The sacraments come to us clothed in images that carry their mystery and propose it to our hearts. These images come from Scripture and are inspired by the Holy Spirit, who wills to transfigure us each into the full measure of Christ. The books in this series will over time surely prove themselves to be agents in this work of the Spirit.”
Theology
“Augustine notes that his City of God is the result of ‘great and arduous labor.’ As anyone who has tried to read it knows, that can describe the reader’s experience too. For those daunted by the prospect, Gregory W. Lee has created this intelligently abbreviated edition. Readers can become familiar with the work, then be tempted to read the whole thing next time!”
Theology
“The theology of Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner is a little-known gem of brilliance that deserves a much wider readership. This volume with its wonderful mixture of well-known senior scholars and soon-to-be-known junior scholars will go a long way towards achieving this end! Fehlner provides a magnificent reawakening of the Franciscan charism in theology, inspired equally by St. Bonaventure and Vatican II, under the inspiration of Fehlner’s own unique genius.”
Theology
“The current reawakening of interest in Augustine's theology has created a great need for an introduction that is elevated enough to be of interest to specialists and yet accessible enough to be read by students and readers from other disciplines. Levering's study meets exactly that need. It points the way for those who are interested in how Augustine is relevant to our own theological quandaries, and it guides those who are just beginning to find their way in things Augustinian by helping them see theological themes as they are embodied in whole texts. An excellent contribution!”
Theology
“It is terrific to see these volumes appear in print. There is no greater authority on the Franciscan tradition than Fr. Fehlner, and these are certain to become standard reading for students of the history of theology and for interested readers more broadly speaking. Highly Recommended!”
