“This book is something of a rarity: a comprehensive yet clear and compact scholarly examination of the covenant of marriage across the canonical Scriptures. Bergsma offers a thorough biblical-theological synthesis on marriage and communicates his findings with economy and clarity. He also draws from the great lights of living tradition and the history of exegesis. The Bible and Marriage will be useful for clergy and laity, scholars and students, Catholics and Protestants.”
Christian Living
“As divine image-bearers, we are hardwired for eternal joy, not just temporal pleasure. This is Jason Stellman's liberating message in The Destiny of the Species. Drawing upon a wealth of biblical insight, with plenty of profound and good-humored engagement with popular culture, media, music, and film, Stellman makes a compelling and winsome case for a heaven's-eye perspective on earth, which will encourage believers and beckon those who don't know Jesus Christ. Highly recommended.”
Preaching & Worship
“A tribute by an eminent Irish theologian to his more eminent teacher and mentor. This book is the best treatment I've seen of Benedict's sacramental theology, which is, in a sense, the key to restarting the 'reform of the reform'”
Theology
“There is more than a half century of argument contained in the double entendre of this book’s title. Reno is recalling exegetes and theologians to the original purpose of their task, but he is also calling for the abandonment of certain conditions that have been imposed on biblical interpretation: critical minimalism, for example, and the bracketing of faith commitments. In 1988, Joseph Ratzinger urged academics to overcome the dualism that separated exegesis from theology. This requires us not to reject the historical method but, rather, to subordinate it to a hermeneutic of faith. In identifying the ‘end’ of interpretation, Reno plots the trajectory of something far greater than anything we’ve known in my lifetime: reading Scripture from the heart of the church—in the great tradition—and not surrendering it to the canons of the secular academy.”
History & Biography
“Ulf and Birgitta Ekman spent decades as evangelists. Ulf was known as 'Sweden's Billy Graham'. This book is their amazing story. You don't have to be Catholic to love it. If you're human, it will move you.”
The Light Shines on in the Darkness
Apologetics
“Fr. Spitzer draws not only from his singular intellect, but also from the deep well of his personal experience and suffering. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. It's edifying to see how true this is even in a man of such stature. This book is ultimately about the personal crisis of suffering everybody goes through, but nobody's prepared for. This book is invaluable.”
History & Biography
“This book is mighty and weighty, and yet it reads as easily as a love letter. I didn't want it to end. What the patriarchs were to the people of the Old Testament, the Fathers are to us. If you love the Church Fathers, this may be your new favorite book. If you don't yet know the Fathers, you will love them after reading Fr. Nichols.”
Preaching & Worship
“How fitting that the man who taught us the ‘power of silence’ should teach us the meaning of music. Cardinal Sarah’s conversation with Peter Carter has the potential to enrich the liturgy, and so enrich the world.”
Theology
“This is a collection of essays worthy of Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, a profound theologian whose interests and expertise ranged widely. As much as anyone alive, he explored the relations of the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church and the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this he followed his Franciscan confreres Sts. Bonaventure and Maximilian Kolbe, and with his sanctified intellect developed their thought in new and fascinating ways.”
Theology
“Those who have been paying attention recognize that Aidan Nichols, not least through his pellucid writings over the past decade, has emerged as the greatest English-speaking dogmatic theologian of our era. Only Father Nichols could have written this book, which amiably unites voices from all periods of the church’s theology and unfolds with winsome precision Mary’s place in the history of salvation and the communion of saints. This book is a dogmatic, historical, and symphonic masterpiece.” —Matthew Levering Mundelein Seminary “Fr. Nichols writes with an attractive, lucid, and engaging style. The methodology which he adopts admirably displays the fruitfulness of ressourcement in returning to Scripture, patristic, and scholastic sources, while also engaging with conciliar teachings, magisterial texts, and contemporary writers. Masterly expositions of the development of the Catholic doctrines about the immaculate conception and the assumption are given. These are sensitively coupled with sound critical comment on the more controversial Marian titles of co-redemptrix and mediatrix of graces. The treatment of divine motherhood is particularly fine. Likewise, the author’s concern for balance between the christo-typical and ecclesio-typical dimensions in sketching Mary’s relationship to the church is most helpful. These concerns are creatively linked with insights from Orthodox Mariology and the riches of the iconographical tradition. This book will be of interest to students of ecclesiology and ecumenism and to all who take seriously the important place of Mary in both doctrine and devotion.” —Finbarr G. Clancy, SJ Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy, Dublin “In a book that is brief and seeker-friendly, Father Nichols offers a clear and succinct introduction to the shape of Marian doctrine. Drawing from sacred Scripture, the early Fathers, the church’s living tradition, and liturgy, Nichols summarizes the theological development of the Marian dogmas in a way that is Christocentric and ecumenical. This Rose is a marvel of economy, tracing the divine logic of love and fittingness, demonstrating that Mary is the one who exemplifies the perfection of Christ’s redeeming work. There are few books of such virtue.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Dr. Jeffrey Morrow has taken up the task that should have been inevitable: the historical criticism of historical criticism. His book is a thorough, fair, dispassionate intellectual history of three key seventeenth-century figures. The culmination of long years of research--tested by publication--this book demonstrates that the roots of biblical criticism are not in religiously neutral empirical science but in a particular agenda that is essentially theo-political.”
Truth Matters, Life Matters More
Apologetics
“The truth here is that salvation is so much greater than most people allow themselves to believe. We have been saved not only FROM sin, but FOR divine life. God has shared his inner life with us and made us partakers of his divine nature. This book tells how the Bible Answer Man arrived at the Bible’s most important answer.”
Christian Living
“Edward Sri identifies the core of what it means to be Catholic—the core of our witness and our daily living. I don't know of a better guidebook to keep us focused on what’s central to the Gospel—the kerygma —and not peripheral. It will be especially useful when dealing with non-Christian friends and family members.”
What Does It Mean to Be Catholic?
Theology
“This is one of the most surprising and unique books I've encountered in recent years. It is the meditation of a convert, but it is not at all defensive or apologetic. Jack Mulder is a man who appreciates his past as he relishes his present. He has produced a book that in its breadth and depth — and its pure delight in God's astonishing ways — evokes Augustine. It inspires and instructs, just as it builds bridges instead of walls.”
Theology
“For decades I have treasured every word published by this man. These last words are among his greatest.”
Philosophy
“University professor, philosopher sage, convert apologist, prolific author, Peter Kreeft is our generation's C.S. Lewis and more. These essays, by an appropriately diverse group of authors, reflect the broad range of Peter's appeal and influence.”
“Peter Kreeft is the foremost living apologist for God's existence, and his work in this area has earned him a place with Newman and Pascal. He has been around a long time and yet can still write books that exude a young man's vigor and joy. Not only that, he can still ride a surfboard better than most of us could in our teens. But I have come to herald him, not to praise him or bury him. So I urge you to move now from promise to fulfillment, and admire the perennially youthful and always fresh craft of Kreeft.”
