Matthew L. Lamb

A History of Apologetics

Apologetics

“This learned book is an insightful guide through two thousand years of Christians reflecting on the beauty of their faith in Jesus Christ illuminating rather than darkening reason. Cardinal Dulles presents apologetics as a much needed antidote to narrow minded oppositions between faith and reason.”

Christ Our Joy

Theology

“Joy among friends is contagious. This book is a lucid introduction to Pope Benedict's contemplative wisdom, the fruit of his profound friendship with Jesus Christ. Such friendship expands into a vast communion of saints and scholars, many of whom appear in the Pope's writings and addresses. The human mind and heart can find no greater joy than that found in friendship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”

God Ahead of Us

Theology

“God Ahead of Us is an extended meditation on what is too incredible for too many of us: God infinitely loves us into being, beckoning us to an eternal friendship with Himself. Readers may well experience that final footfall of Francis Thompson’s 'Hound of Heaven': 'All which thy child’s mistake fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home: Rise, clasp My hand, and come. . . . Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest, I am He whom thou seekest! Thou dravest love from thee, who dravest Me.'”

I Burned for Your Peace

“Kreeft illustrates the truth of Augustine's comment that God is more intimate to us than we are even to ourselves. Only when we realize that we are loved into being by the Triune God, will we experience the profound peace that sustains the pilgrimage to eternal life.”

Medieval Essays

Philosophy

“"We are in debt to James G. Colbert for his fine selection and translation these essays by the renown Etienne Gilson. These essays illustrate well the vital importance for recovering in our contemporary culture Medieval quests for wisdom.”
