A Semiotic Christology

Theology

“In this highly important and groundbreaking work, Orji adroitly analyzes the fundamental crisis not only in contemporary Christology but—especially from a Roman Catholic perspective—in all systematic theology rooted in transcendental Thomism and other modern and postmodern foundational theories. Orji offers an insightful and compelling new model for Christology, integrating traditional accounts of foundational theology with his own semiotic model consistent with an evolutionary worldview of contemporary science. Furthermore, Orji writes about very complex issues in a refreshingly clear and coherent manner that will be accessible to students and professors alike.”

From Strength to Strength

Christian Living

“LaBelle’s From Strength to Strength is a remarkably successful book at many levels. While composed with scholarly rigor it is easily accessible to a wide variety of audiences. Although not literally a ‘how-to’ manual of popular piety, it offers many practical and helpful examples and insights for integrating the virtues into daily life. It also combines a historical analysis of these virtues interpreted in the light of contemporary perspectives, disciplines, and sources. I highly recommend this book for both those desiring to teach the virtues to others as well as for those seeking ways to deepen these practices in their own personal and spiritual lives.”

The Church of God and Its Human Face

Theology

“The Church of God and Its Human Face represents an indispensable contribution to contemporary ecclesiology because of its thorough analysis of work of Joseph Komonchak on the theology of the local church. Madar carefully situates Komonchak’s work in the broader context of 20th century Catholic ecclesiology, and rightly identifies the central problem of this ecclesiology in the search for adequate theological foundations. Both a worthy tribute and thoughtful development of the work of one of the great ecclesiologist of the post-Vatican II era.”

The Crisis of Conversion

Theology

“In this book, Higgins not only presents a masterful overview of the contemporary crisis of Baptist spirituality and the meaning of conversion but also carefully traces out the roots and complex traditions that give rise to this current reality. Equally important is Higgins’s broader scholarly investigation into the dynamics of Christian spirituality. I believe that in both instances Higgins offers new, insightful, and significant analysis of interpretation of these topics. I highly recommend this book.”
