Book SynopsisDissent and Philosophy in the Middle Ages offers scholars of Dante''s Divine Comedy an integral understanding of the political, philosophical, and religious context of the medieval masterwork. First penned in French by Ernest L. Fortin, one of America''s foremost thinkers in the fields of philosophy and theology, Dissidence et philosophie au moyen-%ge brings to light the complexity of Dante''s thought and art, and its relation to the central themes of Western civilization. Available in English for the first time through this superb translation by Marc A. LePain, Dissent and Philosophy will make a supremely important contribution to the discussion of Dante as poet, theologian, and philosopher.Trade ReviewThis is intellectual history at its best. It ranges over Islamic and Jewish thought, as well as the Greco-Latin tradition, and places Dante in an illuminating way. Essential for Dante studies. * National Review *Ernest L. Fortin's subtle study of Dante's dissent will help clear away the Anglo-American fashion of reading Dante as versified Augustine or Aquinas. Dante's reticences and implied stances emerge vividly in Fortin's precise pages. -- Harold Bloom, Yale UniversityThis English translation...comes as an urgent reminder of how important Dante is as a political thinker. -- Diskin Clay, Duke UniversityFortin presents a Dante who believes in philosophy's autonomy from and even superiority to theology (and who conceals this knowledge). This startling, fresh, and controversial thesis opens up the way for a view of poetry that straddles the boundaries between concealment and clarity, fiction and truth. -- Giuseppe Mazzotta, Yale UniversityThe first words of Fortin's book are these: "This modest work does not pretend to be exhaustive." When you read it you will see that there are other ways to be ambitious than by being exhaustive, namely: essential, magesterial, and path-breaking. * Claremont Review of Books *Ernest Fortin is the better sort of scholar: when he is unconventional and provocative (as he is when he treats Dante), he displays enviable learning, patent argumentation open for inspection, and an ingratiating pen. Marc LePain's translation of Fortin's elegant French is trustworthy and the additions he makes to Fortin's original French volume add significantly to Fortin's argument, and to our appreciation of his achievement in reopening for us the question of Dante. -- Paul Seaton, associate professor of philosophy, St. Mary’s Seminary & University, Baltimore, MD.Table of ContentsChapter 1 On the Political Mode in Philosophy Chapter 2 Islam and the Rediscovery of Political Philosophy Chapter 3 Political Philosophy in the Christian World Chapter 4 Dante and Philosophical Allegory Chapter 5 The Imperialism of the Comedy Chapter 6 Dante and Christianity Chapter 7 The Theory of the Double Truth Chapter 8 The Decline of Political Philosophy Chapter 9 Appendix: Dante's Comedy as Utopia

Book SynopsisGays and Grays tells the story of a unique Catholic parish. Most Holy Redeemer Parish in San Francisco is in the center of the world''s first gay neighborhood, The Castro. This parish was the center of the hostility to the arriving gay population in the 1970s; but paradoxically was itself transformed into a welcoming parish. The old time parishioners, the gray, bonded with the new comers, the gay, particularly in a joint compassionate response to the crisis of AIDS. A charismatic pastor, FR Tony McGuire also played a key role in the transformation of this interesting parish. Most Holy Redeemer was changed from a dying parish to a vital place where gay and straight people together created something new. Father Donal Godfrey shows how this parish became prophetic and compassionate, through conflict and compromise at times; despite opposition from many sources, including the institutionalized homophobia of the church and society. Rather than becoming embittered, the parish opened up toTrade ReviewGays and Grays is a fascinating history of a congregation in a changing neighborhood that decides to continue ministering to its existing congregation (the grays) while including a radically new constituency (the gays), and grow numerically in the process. In some ways this book could be a handbook on organizational change: Godfrey gives the reader intimate details of the step by step process through which the leadership of the congregation, clergy and lay, took initiative, resisted restraining forces, and stayed faithful to its missions (to gay and gray). What is special about this book is that it does not see change as happening through a single denouement that sets everything on the path to fulfillment; rather it documents the many, many actions and accomplishments needed to finally add up to significant change. The book is rich with understanding of the various voices within the gay community, the complexity of the Catholic Church (including the Archdiocese and Rome), and the interconnectedness of this congregation with other churches and groups with the community. If you’re looking for a good read, deeper understanding of the gay community in San Francisco, how to initiate and carry out change in a congregation, this is the book for you. -- Speed LeasGays and Grays tells the story of a colorful community of Catholic Christians that in theory cannot exist but which maintains a vibrant ministry in a community where it doesn't seem to fit. Donal Godfrey has given an important gift to all who care about congregations and their ability to adapt to changing communities. It belongs in the libraries of bishops, seminaries and students of congregational life in America across the usual lines of denomination and sexual orientation. -- William McKinney, President Emeritus, Pacific School of ReligionGays and Grays provides an excellent local history of Catholic culture and gay and lesbian issues. * Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture *This book shows how a very ordinary parish has shown remarkable pastoral strength in very changed and often hard times. -- Fergus O'Donoghue S.J. * Studies 2008 *Donal Godfrey has wriitne a loving portrait. . . . This study is filled with surprising stories and everyday heroes. . . . Godfrey has written a sensitive study that gives ample material for reflection on what it means to be church. * American Catholic Studies, Fall 2008 *Those who love Most Holy Redeemer Parish, a group far more widespread than those lucky enough to be regular worshippers there, will be delighted to have this gem of a history. It chronicles how a 'run of the mill parish' became a globally-known mission outpost. More than that, MHR found itself, through dark decades, keeping alive the deep and tender hopes of many gay people and their straight friends and relatives that the Catholic institutional structure might one day catch up with the richest directions of its own Faith. And MHR did, and does, this by manifesting that what is theoretically impossible, a normally Catholic and normally gay life of faith, is not only possible, but appears to be especially blessed by the Holy Spirit. Donal Godfrey, a master in the art of letting many different voices speak, has given us more than a record of the warts-and-all history of the parish, lovingly researched and readably retold: he offers us a theological witness to the work of the One who makes all things new. -- James Alison, priest, theologian, and authorTable of ContentsChapter 1 The First Eighty Years Chapter 2 Fr Anthony McGuire Chapter 3 Bearing Witness in a Time of AIDS Chapter 4 Father Zachary Shore Chapter 5 A Queer Sanctuary?

Book SynopsisEntrepreneurship in the Catholic Tradition is a theological and historical exploration of the treatment of entrepreneurship, business, and commerce in the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. Moving from Scriptural exegesis to modern papal social encyclicals, Anthony G. Percy shows how Catholic teaching had developed profound insights into the ultimate meaning of entrepreneurship and commerce and invested it with theological, philosophical, and economic meaning that surpasses many conventional religious and secular interpretations. Entrepreneurship is illustrated as being as much a potential contributor to all-round integral human flourishing as it is to economic growth and development. In this sense, Entrepreneurship in the Catholic Tradition challenges the stereotype of the Catholic Church having a negative view of economic liberty and the institutions that enhance its productivity. Instead we discover a tradition in which first millennium theologians, medieval scholastics, and modTrade ReviewThis is a book for which many have been waiting. It undermines stereotypes of Catholic thought about free enterprise and business while simultaneously challenging us to root entrepreneurship in a richer and deeper understanding of the human person. Anthony G. Percy brings together good theology, good philosophy, sound economics, and an appreciation for the full complexity of Catholicism's positive view of the entrepreneur. -- Robert A. Sirico, President, Acton InstituteIn Entrepreneurship in the Catholic Tradition, Anthony G. Percy provides us with a detailed study of the distinctive contribution to the modern understanding of entrepreneurship developed by Catholic theologians, philosophers, saints, popes, clergy, and economists over the centuries. This book is a treasure of information and provides many useful correctives to much received wisdom on the history of entrepreneurship. -- Michael Novak, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, 1994 Templeton laureateThe work of Father Percy is a great resource to help alleviate the problem….Father Percy does us the great favor of including in his book a review of declarations of the successive popes since Leo XIII. * Journal of Markets & Morality *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Chapter 1—Introduction Chapter 3 Chapter 2—Entrepreneurial Work: Toward a Definition Chapter 4 Chapter 3—Entrepreneurial Work: Scripture and Tradition Chapter 5 Chapter 4—Private Initiative in the Social Teaching of the Church: Leo XIII-Paul VI Chapter 6 Chapter 5—Human Action, Work, and Enterprise: The Second Vatican Council Chapter 7 Chapter 6—Human Work: First Insights from John Paul II Chapter 8 Chapter 7—From Work to Entrepreneurship: The Revolution of Centesimus Annus Chapter 9 Further Reading

Book SynopsisThe Sheed & Ward Anthology of Catholic Philosophy is a thorough introduction to the evolution of Catholic philosophy from Biblical times to the present day. The first comprehensive collection of readings from Catholic philosophers, this volume aims to sharpen the understanding of Catholic philosophy by grouping together the best examples of this tradition, both well-known classics and lesser-known selections. The readings emphasize themes integral to the Catholic tradition such as the harmony of faith and reason, the existence and nature of God, the nature of the human person and the nature of being, and the objectivity of the moral law. Each reading includes a brief introduction and is historically placed within five major groups1) Preliminaries, including readings from the Bible, Plato and Aristotle, 2) The Patristic Era, selections from Aristides to Boethius, and a heavy focus on Augustine, 3) The Middle Ages, readings from the early Moslem and Jewish thinkers to William of Ockham, with an emphasis on Aquinas, 4) The Renaissance through the Nineteenth Century, including Suarez, Descartes, Pascal, Newman, and Pope Leo XIII, and 5) The Twentieth Century and Beyond, including Maritain and Lonergan, Blondel and Marcel, Geach and Rescher, and others like Chesterton and Teilhard. Trade ReviewThe Catholic Philosophy Anthology not only provides a useful summary of a long and complex tradition of Catholic reflections on the nature and role of philosophy but also offers a very helpful summary of American Catholic philosophy. The editors’ introductions to each of the texts are both informative and engaging. The anthology will be especially valuable for undergraduates who are seeking a comprehensive understanding of the diverse and wide tradition of Catholic philosophical thought. -- Don J. Briel, Koch Chair in Catholic Studies, University of St. ThomasProfessors Gensler and Swindal have made a judicious selection of texts that are classics in Catholic philosophy. Their introductions make this book useful for private study and in the classroom. -- Francis Cardinal George, OMI, Archbishop of ChicagoEditors Gensler and Swindal have done everyone a service with this novel idea of a collection that gathers the best of the Catholic philosophical tradition from the early Patristic authors right up to the latest work done by Catholics working in both the analytic and continental traditions. The selections are both judicious and comprehensive and prefaced by a very helpful analysis of the very idea of a Catholic philosophy. An impressive achievement. -- John D. Caputo, Syracuse UniversityPhilosophizing about issues that have a bearing on matters of faith has been part of the Catholic tradition throughout its history. But it has heretofore been difficult to find a convenient scenic outlook from which to get something of a synoptic overview of the whole readily diversified terrain. In filling this gap the The Sheed & Ward Anthology of Catholic Philosophy meets a real need. The editors deserve our congratulations for their thoughtful labors in producing the panorama of this fascinating and well-constructed anthology. -- Nicholas RescherPhilosophizing about issues that have a bearing on matters of faith has been part of the Catholic tradition throughout its history.

Book SynopsisGrowing out of two decades of teaching and practice, Finding God Again: Spirituality for Adults addresses, in an experiential and pastoral way, the need to re-envision God as we grow from an adolescent to adult spirituality. John Shea, a renowned pastoral counselor and teacher, shows how we can lose touch with religion, spirituality, and a belief in God because of times when our image of God is too narrow, unreal, or inadequate to make sense of our experience. Shea uses real life stories to illustrate and offer a life-changing challenge to leave behind the Superego God of childhood in favor of a Living God we can relate to as adults. By showing the reader how to revisit God as an adult, Shea provides the motivation and method to embrace a Living God and claim the independence and responsibility that accompany genuine adulthood.Trade ReviewIn our culture, so preoccupied with self-realization, human potential and spiritual practice, this book on spiritual transformation is both timely and solid. John Shea is extremely well-grounded in both psychology and spirituality. Using the wisdom of both, and with copious illustrations from the experience of real people, Shea offers a clear exposition of the inter-relationship between images of God's relationship to us and human maturity. This is not a simple self-help book. There are no easy fixes. What it offers is a penetrating and enlivening prospectus of why our images of God need to 'grow up', how this comes about and the impact such transformation has on our spiritual and psychological maturity and well-being. -- Philip Sheldrake, William Leech Professor, University of Durham, UKOur experience of things is shaped by our capacity to experience them. This is true of our image of God. As human beings grow and change and develop, so too does their way of understanding and relating to the infinite self-gift of God. With wisdom and insight drawn from both theology and counseling, John Shea leads us from a 'God' who is a (more or less) benign despot to the living God who is the source of all our creativity and energy and capacity to love. This is a book that will be of importance for all spiritual directors, counselors, religious educators, and pastoral ministers. Those they serve will be grateful that they read it. -- Rev. Michael J. Himes, Professor, Theology Department, Boston CollegeThis book is a wake up call: If we want to be truly religious, John Shea tells us that we must become adults capable of mutuality with God and others. We must move from the routine of religious practices to the engagement of a personal religion. -- Ana-María Rizzuto, training and supervising psychoanalyst, The Psychoanalytic Institute of New England, EastFor so many of us, our God is too small—the one we learned about in first grade, alongside Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy. If we don't grow beyond this, our faith can falter and fail to sustain us, especially in difficult times. John Shea's book invites us to grow up and to bring God with us, to recognize that all of our symbols and language for the Divine falls far short of the reality and yet to know more deeply the Ultimate Mystery who loves us. This book will sustain, renew, or jump start again the reader's journey in faith. -- Thomas H.

Book SynopsisTaking the good in life and passing it on - what if the real treasure in life was buried in the ordinary and everyday?Trade Review“Some English mystics have spoken of `contemplation’ as `a long, loving look at the real’. This would be an apt description of `What Matters Most?’ Where, and how, in the ordinary events of everyday life, might we find the pearl of great price – the truth and reality that resonate deeply in the ground of our being? Brian Draper, with disarming honesty and a warm, invitational style, opens pathways that lead to what truly lies closest to our heart, and to the heart of God, however we understand that sacred mystery. His insightful reflections are punctuated by very practical spiritual exercises that can be readily integrated into the daily lives of those of any faith tradition, or of none. This is a treasury of wisdom in the language and the spirit of `the real’. Very well worth a long, loving look.” -- Margaret Silf, author of Landscapes of Prayer

Book SynopsisThis is an English translation of Luther''s Summaries of the Psalms, 1531 which was originally done in 1993. This latest edition includes the ESV translation of the Psalms, Luther''s introductions to each of the 150 psalms and a suggested schedule for reading the Psalter.The introductions demonstrate how Luther understood the Psalter as a Christ-centered book and how he used the psalms as the model for Christian prayer. Luther classifies each psalm as a psalm of prophecy, instruction, comfort, prayer, or thanksgiving and applies the message of the text to the life lived out under the cross. Luther also connects the psalms to the Ten Commandments and the petitions of the Lord''s Prayer. For Luther, all aspects of the Christian''s life, including the Psalms, relate to Christ and His Gospel of forgiveness, life, and salvation.
