A Theological Aesthetics of Liberation

Theology

“This sure-footed study is an important new theological contribution. It offers not only a broadening of the field of theological aesthetics—one which takes the field beyond its familiar Balthasarian base—but also a real deepening of the tradition of Latin American liberation theology. I have learned a great deal from it.”

Faith and Modern Thought

Philosophy

“I wish I had had this book as a student—it is so much more helpful and interesting than anything else on the subject. Tim Hull offers an engaging, clear, and utterly unpretentious introduction to modern thought and modern philosophy for theologians, while at the same time giving a sophisticated and fresh reading of the history of thought. A great achievement.”

Herbert McCabe

Philosophy

“I know nowhere else one could get such an overview of McCabe’s themes in a single treatment (unless, perhaps, in McCabe’s own God Matters). Manni shows the interconnectedness of McCabe’s writing on creation with his work in many other areas, and his exposition carries a good deal of insight with it.”

Sensing the Sacred

Theology

“Hanna Lucas combines deep engagement with Latin, Greek, and Syriac mystagogical texts with a broad, enthusiastic, and constructive theological vision. What she develops in this volume is both a rich retrieval and a bold development of a theology of learning.”

Systematic Theology, Volume 2

Theology

“In the rather tired trinitarian revival, it is rare to find a contribution which is truly fresh, and which requires us to think again. Katherine Sonderegger is immersed in Scripture and tradition; she is a deeply learned, sympathetic and illuminating commentator on classical and modern theology; and at the same time, she is a profoundly independent thinker. It is an extraordinary combination.”

The Authority of the Saints

Theology

“Pauline Dimech has done something impressive: in the crowded field of von Balthasar scholarship, she has identified a key question which has so far received no sustained study. Many have commented on the significance of the saints for von Balthasar's theology, but no one before Dimech has given sustained attention to the vital question of their authority. This well-written monograph, then, represents a significant contribution to the literature, and should stimulate further work in the study of von Balthasar, and in Catholic theology more generally.”

The Church

Christian Living

“I find this an extraordinary book. It is short. It is written with simplicity and clarity. And yet it covers so much, introducing its readers to an extraordinarily rich field of theology.”

The Gift of Theology

Theology

“This is an important collection: in rich and varied ways the essays engage with the work of Kathryn Tanner, situating, criticizing, illuminating, extending, appreciating. They are an invaluable aid in coming to terms with the most powerful mind currently at work in North American theology.”

The Quest for the Trinity

Theology

“It is rare to write something which can be both a textbook and a real intervention in a debate, but Steve Holmes has pulled it off. As a textbook for serious students, this is superb, covering the history of the doctrine in a way that is fresh, illuminating, concise and intelligent. I wish we had had it sooner.”

Theology and Prayer

Theology

“It is easy to lament the gap between theology and spirituality, and it is not too hard to make broad claims about bringing theology and prayer together. But what does it actually look like to do so? I don’t know of anyone who addresses this question as seriously and responsibly as Gary Eaborn has done in this wonderfully clear and reliable work.”

Touching God

Theology

“This is a rich, pastorally sensitive, personally involved, theologically wide-ranging, creative piece of scholarship. I am not sure whether Peter Kevern has given us an academic volume which is unusually engaging and readable, or a pastoral and practical book which is unusually academically serious and careful, but either way, it is a valuable contribution.”
