Hardback. Condizione: New. The testimony and teachings of Joseph Ratzinger on the act of faith are particularly urgent for the Church today. Doctrinal confusion and other signs of crisis experienced by believers find their root in a crisis of faith. Understanding what it means to believe is more than an academic exercise; rather…, it is a necessary step for authentic renewal in the Church.In this book, Fr. Daniel Cardó outlines the different insights of Joseph Ratzinger on the act of faith - understood as a personal, integral, and ecclesial act. Cardó provides an organic view of the rich contribution made by the Pope Emeritus in his many theological works.What Does it Mean to Believe? is also an invitation to appreciate the mind and the faith of one of the greatest theologians of our time.

Hardback. Condizione: New. To mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Paul Hacker's landmark study Faith in Luther: Martin Luther and the Origin of Anthropocentric Religion appears now in a new English edition.Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, in his final memoir in 2016, remembers Paul Hacker as "a great master, som…eone with an unbelievably broad education, someone who knew the Fathers, knew Luther, and had mastered the whole history of Indian religion from scratch. What he wrote always had something new about it, he always went right to the bottom of things". No doubt one of the "things" he was referring to was Martin Luther's view of faith, which Hacker explores in this text.A unique contribution to ecumenical studies, Faith in Luther engages the primary texts of Luther, assessing them for how they reveal Luther's novel conception of faith and how the development of "reflexive faith" impacted Luther's spirituality and theolog - and the world.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Since her founding by Christ, the Church on earth has recognized and sought to preserve her identity as "one complex reality" (Lumen Gentium 8) formed of both the invisible and the visible, the charismatic and the institutional. Yet within modern Catholic life and theology the ordered unity of these di…mensions is increasingly obscured and undermined by distortive tendencies toward democratization, bureaucratization, and secularization. Such contemporary errors threaten not only the Church's self-understanding but also her mission to restore all things in Christ. In Unconformed to the Age, renowned Australian theologian Tracey Rowland addresses the theological and ecclesiological deviations underlying the present ecclesial disorder, including the prioritization of praxis over truth, the occlusion of the Cross from its central position in the Church's life, and the substitution of a secular, corporate vision of the Church for its true construal as Christ's Body and Bride-"Catholic Inc." versus communio. Engaging especially with the thought and writings of Joseph Ratzinger as well as other twentieth-century theological luminaries, Rowland provides both insightful diagnosis of these current pathologies and a multifaceted illumination of the mystery of the Church, underscoring the Church's divinely given vocation to bring all people into communion with the Trinity, imbuing human actions, lives, and cultures with the grace of the Incarnation.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Some think that liturgy is formal, public, and for ordinary people, while mysticism is uncontrollable, private, and for extraordinary saints. Is there a connection between the two? In this volume, David Fagerberg proposes that mysticism is the normal crowning of the Christian life, and the Christian li…fe is liturgical.We intuitively sense that liturgy and theology and mysticism have an affinity. Liturgical theology should reveal liturgy's mystical heart. Liturgical theology asks "What happens in liturgy?" and liturgical mysticism asks "What happens to us in liturgy?", and perfects our interior liturgy.In Liturgical Mysticism, Fagerberg directs the reader to look fixedly at Christ, who is the Mystery present in liturgy, and who bestows his resurrection power upon his adopted children.

Hardback. Condizione: New. With precision and profundity born of thirty years of devoted study, John Boyle offers an essential introduction to St. Thomas Aquinas on Scripture, shedding helpful light on the goals, methods, and commitments that animate the Angelic Doctor's engagement with the sacred page. Because the genius of St.… Thomas's approach to the Bible lies not so much in its novelty but rather in the fidelity and clarity with which he recapitulates the riches of the preceding interpretive Tradition, this initiation into St. Thomas's vision of Scripture is itself an orientation to the Church's vision of Scripture, from the Fathers through and beyond the Middle Ages.St. Thomas's embeddedness within the Church's Tradition and his own historical context is integral to his approach to Scripture, yet it sets him at some distance from modern readers, for whom his interpretive vision may seem perplexing or even impenetrable. In this primer, Boyle first provides an acclimation to this medieval context through a survey and explanation of pertinent technical terminology used by St. Thomas and characteristic of the scholastic theology of the time. With an eye to the medieval practice of considering Scripture according to the fourfold division of causes, Boyle builds on this initial foundation by exploring in turn St. Thomas's accounts of the end or use of Scripture (final cause), its divine and human authorship (efficient cause), its order and division (material cause), and its literary styles or genres (formal cause).Drawing on writings from across St. Thomas's corpus, but especially his work On the Commendation and Division of Sacred Scripture and the prologues to his biblical commentaries, Boyle masterfully elucidates both the hermeneutical principles and deep wisdom of the Angelic Doctor's approach to Scripture, imparting invaluable guidance not only for reading and understanding St. Thomas and other great masters of the Tradition, but also - and ultimately - for understanding Scripture in light of this Tradition and reading it with greater benefit and joy.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The Anointing of the Sick is possibly the most underappreciated and understudied sacrament. Here, Roger Nutt seeks to bring greater attention to and appreciation for the Anointing of the Sick.Beginning with an examination of cultural perceptions of dying, death, and burial, To Die Is Gain exposes the w…ays in which contemporary atheism and physicalism mark a clear divergence from ancient attitudes. In contrast to contemporary hopelessness, the Anointing of the Sick is a powerful counter witness that highlights the great dignity of the human person and the depth of Christian hope. Unlike the cures to particular ailments facilitated by modern medical science, in Holy Anointing Jesus gives his dying followers the healing graces that they need to pass from this life to the next in loving union with Him. As Nutt exposes the biblical and traditional foundations of this sacrament, he corrects common misconceptions and malpractice of this sacrament, especially the ways in which Vatican II is often misleadingly enlisted to support a broadening of the sacrament from end-of-life situations to non-life threatening illnesses. Finally, Nutt carefully describes the graces and effects of the Anointing of the Sick and richly expounds the theological depth of the rite of the Anointing of the Sick. The result is that readers can confidently say with St. Paul that "To die is gain" (Philippians 1:21).

Hardback. Condizione: New. Throughout his prodigious theological and ecclesiastical career, Joseph Ratzinger advanced a rich and nuanced theology of Revelation, reflecting at length on the nature, unity, and interrelationship of Scripture and Tradition, on their native ecclesial context, and on their transformative, Christ-centr…ed purpose and aim.Ratzinger's many writings in this area are marked not only by an unwavering fidelity to divinely revealed truth, but also by sensitivity to the difficulties of its interpretation, to the dynamics of historical progress and regress, and to the needs of the Church and the world within the modern era.In this book, Mauro Gagliardi offers a penetrating diachronic study of Ratzinger's thought on these foundational themes. Beginning with his 1955 Habilitationsschrift on St. Bonaventure's understanding of Revelation and continuing in his works of the conciliar and post-conciliar periods through those of his episcopacy and later pontificate, Gagliardi traces Ratzinger's vision of Scripture and Tradition, of the Magisterium and theology, and of faith and its transmission today.By turns critical and appreciative, Gagliardi elucidates the German theologian's teaching on Revelation in depth, exploring its underlying hermeneutic commitments, and, in the book's final chapter, elaborating its implications for the question of the development of doctrine, a topic of both longstanding and pressing importance within Catholic theology and Christian thought.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The emergent "science" of transgenderism and related philosophies of gender propose a full-scale inversion of the understanding of God, man, and the created order articulated in classical metaphysics, undermining and parodying both the causality and ontology voiced by Genesis 1:27 ("God created man in…His own image, male and female He created them."). Whether through subversive performative identity or by surgical sex change, the divinely made human person is now threatened with abolition and replacement by the self-made man and the man-made woman.In Metaphysics and Gender, Michele M. Schumacher offers a corrective to this distorted and distorting outlook, calling for the recovery of an anthropological vision rooted in recognition of the normative divine "art" of nature and of the likeness-and far greater unlikeness-between divine and human causality. Surveying contemporary transgender trends, Schumacher identifies and excavates their conceptual and ideological foundations in the gender theory of Judith Butler, the existentialist feminism of Simone de Beauvoir, and the atheistic existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre. To the erroneous philosophical presuppositions of these thinkers Schumacher contrasts the metaphysically grounded thought of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, advancing their positive account of the good of creation and of the meaning of ethical norms, human freedom and natural inclinations, and embodiment, and mounting a timely and trenchant defense of the divinely created human person.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A guide to the tradition of typological interpretation of the Bible. It unveils the parallels between the signs and events of the Scriptures and the Sacraments of the Church, as represented in the New Testament as well as the liturgy and teachings of the Catholic Church.The Early Church read the Scrip…tures with the conviction that (in the words of St. Augustine), "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New". Drawing inspiration from how both the Apostles and Christ himself read the Old Covenant as referring to the New (cf. Luke 24:27, 1 Peter 3:20-21, 1 Corinthians 10:1-5), the Church found the Old Testament to be rich with figures, or "types", that foreshadowed both the mysteries of the life of Christ and the mysteries, or Sacraments, of the New Covenant. This tradition of interpretation was integral to the development Christian doctrine, and manifested itself in the life of the Church most fully in the Sacred Liturgy.Fulfilled in Christ makes this tradition accessible, providing scriptural background for the types and symbols for each of the Sacraments, and a thorough summary and index of references to the places these parallels and symbols are drawn or explained within the Scriptures, the liturgy (including the Patristic readings of the Liturgy of the Hours), and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Hardback. Condizione: New. St. Thomas Aquinas is best known for his Summa Theologiae and is regarded as the great exemplar of systematic theology. Yet St. Thomas himself might be surprised at this legacy. He may well have saw himself principally as a commentator and teacher of Sacred Scripture.When it comes to engaging St. Thoma…s' scriptural work, readers are at a significant disadvantage. They are arguably more foreign and more dense than his Summa yet have been scarcely studied. This book by one of the foremost experts on St. Thomas' use of Scripture is a significant and much needed contribution.Here, John Boyle opens up the riches of St. Thomas as a master of the Sacred page. Readers will find explorations not just of the style of Aquinas' commentaries, which differs from that of the modern biblical commentary, but also the overarching theological and methodological perspective that shapes his approach to Scripture. Boyle gives insight into how Aquinas would have understood the task of biblical commentary as a university lecturer, how Scripture is ordered to divine revelation, how medieval masters divided up the text, and how Aquinas' biblical commentaries relate to his theological summaries. This book will be important for anyone seeking to better understand St. Thomas' theology and the often-overlooked role that Scripture plays in his work.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Focuses on the inherent relationship between eschatology and the liturgy in light of Ratzinger's insistence upon the primacy of logos over ethos. When logos is subordinated to ethos, the human person becomes subjected to a materialist ontology that leads to an ethos that is concerned above all by utili…ty and progress, which affects one's approach to understanding the liturgy and eschatology.How a person celebrates the liturgy becomes subject to the individual whim of one person or a group of people. Eschatology is reduced to addressing the temporal needs of a society guided by a narrow conception of hope or political theology. If the human person wants to understand his authentic sacramental logos, then he must first turn to Christ the incarnate Logos, who reveals to him that he is created for a loving relationship with God and others.The primacy of logos is the central hermeneutical key to understanding the unique vision of Ratzinger's Christocentric liturgical theology and eschatology. This is coupled with a study of Ratzinger's spiritual Christology with a focus on how it influences his theology of liturgy and eschatology through the notions of participation and communion in Christ's sacrificial love. Finally, A Living Sacrifice examines Ratzinger's theology of hope, charity, and beauty, as well as his understanding of active participation in relationship to the eschatological and cosmic characteristics of the sacred liturgy.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The Church's liturgy is an appropriate object for academic study, but it is first and foremost the object of the faithful's participation in divine worship, the site of humanity's deification by the Trinity. The liturgy is thus not just something that we can look at, but, like a window, it is also some…thing we can look from, viewing other matters of Christian doctrine and practice - indeed, the entire created world - through the lens of the liturgy.In this collection of essays representing nearly two decades of writing and reflecting on liturgical theology, David Fagerberg sets out to explore the liturgical cosmos, attending to how the lex orandi of the liturgy illuminates and shapes the lex credendi of the Church's faith and the lex vivendi of the Christian moral life. Addressing such topics as asceticism, beauty, Scripture, spirituality, sacrifice, and social renewal, The Liturgical Cosmos directs our gaze to the ways in which the abundant life that Christ came to offer - a life communicated sacramentally and celebrated cultically - is a life lived daily, and liturgically, as the Holy Spirit refreshes our world and conforms us to Christ, the image of the Father.

Hardback. Condizione: New. For much of the history of both Judaism and Christianity, the Pentateuch - the first five books of the Bible - was understood to be the unified work of a single inspired author: Moses. Yet the standard view in modern biblical scholarship contends that the Pentateuch is a composite text made up of fragm…ents from diverse and even discrepant sources that originated centuries after the events it purports to describe.Murmuring against Moses provides a critical narrative of the emergence of modern Pentateuchal studies and challenge the scholarly consensus by highlighting the weaknesses of the modern paradigms and mustering an array of new evidence for the Pentateuch's antiquity. By shedding light on the past history of research and the present developments in the field, Bergsma and Morrow give fresh voice to a growing scholarly dissatisfaction with standard critical approaches and make an important contribution toward charting a more promising future for Pentateuchal studies.

Marshall, Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology.Marshall is one of the most significant Catholic theologians in the English-speaking world. His work exemplifies an intentionally Catholic theology that mak…es fearless use of the fullness of truth - wherever it may be found - in conscious service to the Church.Marshall has made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity, Christology, Pneumatology, ecclesiology, ecumenism, Jewish-Christian dialogue, and fundamental theology. St. Thomas Aquinas has been his most constant theological companion, although he has also advanced our understanding of Saints Augustine and Anselm, John Duns Scotus, Martin Luther, Matthias Joseph Scheeben, Karl Barth, and other major figures. Marshall has carefully developed a unique, powerful, and wide-ranging theology of the primacy of Christ over all things. It is this same Christ who is the love of God become incarnate.This series of essays by Marcia Colish, J. Augustine Di Noia, Paul Griffiths, Reinhard Hütter, Matthew Levering, and others engage and advance Marshall's ranging contributions to historical and systematic theology.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Starting in the early to mid-nineteenth century, Catholic theology witnessed a profound retrieval of patristic reflection on the interrelationship of the Virgin Mary and the Church.This dynamic reached a doctrinal high point with the declarations of Vatican II and Pope Paul VI concerning Mary as "type…of the Church" and "Mother of the Church", and it also provided the impetus for further theological exploration of the deeper unity of the Mother of Christ and his mystical body.In A Bride Adorned, John L. Nepil examines how this interrelationship has been formulated in modern theology in terms of perichoresis, a notion of unconfused reciprocity or interpenetration drawn from Christology and Trinitarian theology first applied to Mary and the Church by the nineteenth-century German theologian Matthias Scheeben. In the first part of the study, Nepil treats the foundations of this formulation, outlining its historical background and creative articulation by Scheeben. The second part tracks developments of Scheeben's insight in the thought of twentieth-century theological luminaries Charles Journet, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Louis Bouyer, and Leo Scheffczyk, each of whom distinctively articulate the shared conviction that neither Mary nor the Church can be understood apart from each other. The third part draws out the far-reaching doctrinal and pastoral implications of this deepened account of the Mary-Church relation, establishing its vital importance for ongoing theological and ecclesial renewal.Through his careful engagement with these figures, Nepil shows how Mary and the Church are to be understood as two realizations of a single mystery. This vantage on Mary and the Church sheds new light on the vision of the Council Fathers at Vatican II, and it charts a course for the Church's flourishing via a return to her Marian heart.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Paul famously challenges his readers in 1 Corinthians, "If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied". What does it mean to hope in Christ for the life to come? How can we intellectually defend such hope in the midst of secularist and materialist trends so prevalen…t in contemporary society? Even if we believe as Christians in eternal life, how do we find meaning in such hope when the injustices of the world and our own suffering often loom so large?Drawing primarily upon the witness of biblical revelation and its reception and formulation in the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, the essays in Hope and Death: Christian Responses answer contemporary questions related to how Christians might face suffering and death with hopeful minds and hearts. The essays recover Christian hope in three main parts: what hope reveals about God's nature and his providence, how hope responds to and clarifies the meaning of human suffering, and the way in which all hope draws human beings to an end beyond this world.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Man is created by God for an eternal glory that surpasses his nature. Even now, he is called to a graced participation in divine life that draws him above and beyond himself, conforming him to the one in whose image he is made. In his theological writings, Thomas Aquinas explored this "order of excess"… that characterizes God's elevation of the rational creature, discerning in its most extreme instances-mystical transport, ecstasy, and rapture-the essential contours of the ordering of Christian life to the transcendent union of beatific vision. This is same ordering is witnessed in Aquinas's own experience, where toward the end of his life he was raised to a contemplative vision surpassing all language and further study. In Anatomy of Transcendence, Peter A. Kwasniewski examines the intersection of Aquinas's theological writings and mysticism, establishing a vocabulary and topography for the Angelic Doctor's study and experience of ecstasy and excess in God's raising of the human mind to divine things. While drawing on the full scope of the saint's corpus, the study pays particular attention to his engagement with Scripture-especially the rapture of Paul related in 2 Corinthians-thus contributing to the recovery of Aquinas not only as spiritual theologian but also as biblical theologian.

Hardback. Condizione: New. From her very beginning, the Church has been entrusted with the universal commission to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19), offering to the entire world the new life and communion with God that is made available in Christ through Baptism and the Christian confession of faith. This charge requ…ires of the Church and her members both an orientation to God and a responsibility for the world-neither can be neglected, as they form an indissoluble relational unity that flows from the person of Christ, the "one mediator between God and men"(1 Tim 2:5). Yet in the current age, the Church appears forced to choose between God and the world, between the identity of the faith and its relevance for modern humanity, between fidelity to Revelation and innovation.In True and False Reform, Gerhard Cardinal Müller seeks to provide an aid for navigating the tensions, confusions, and divisions of this modern crisis, directing our attention to the Church's essence, characteristics, life, and mission-not as one religion among others, but as the site of Christ's saving presence with humanity. It is Christ who is the Church's life and foundation, and Christ, too, who is the source and end of that transformation according to his likeness to which all are called. Müller shows that this universal call to renewal in Christ-in faith, life, and prayer-is the basis of the Church's catholicity, the principal of all true reform, and the impetus for Catholics' journeying together with Christians from other churches and ecclesial communities toward perfect unity in Christ.

Hardback. Condizione: New. How do the intellect and will remain free while pursuing a life of virtue? This is where the question of prudence comes in. Is the practical wisdom of the prudent man founded upon some kind of innate or acquired instinct, or does it presuppose understanding of intellectually grasped basic principles? A…nd if those principles are presupposed, is reason necessary for applying them in any given instance, or can one solely look to the rightly formed appetites acquired by moral virtue?In answering these questions, Ryan J. Brady looks first and foremost to St. Thomas Aquinas and his ancient and modern interpreters. Brady's way of engaging the question of the interplay between the intellect and reason is by focusing on two apparently conflicting texts of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of which says that synderesis (the habit of the first principles of the practical intellect) appoints the end to the moral virtues and another which says prudence does. The author's conviction is that the correct way of reconciling the two texts not only establishes knowledge of the role of conscience, virtue, and natural law in the moral life but also provides insight into the profoundly complementary roles of reason and will within the context of a life of virtue.

St. Thomas's Commentary on Romans, the first in his series of majestic commentaries on Paul's letters, stands out among commentaries on Paul's letters, both ancient a…nd modern, as uniquely ample and refined.Expansive in its broad theological concerns, incisive in its attention to the nuances of Paul's elaborate and complex argument, the Commentary on Romans shows the Angelic Doctor to be a singularly perceptive and insightful reader of the Apostle to the Gentiles. Inheritor of the great centuries of Patristic exegesis, tranquilly free from assumptions of later doctrinal disputes, and bringing to bear a mind saturated with Scripture, St. Thomas was able to lecture on Romans with an accuracy and thoroughness of interpretation that has never been equalled.

In this book, an international gathering of scholars pays tribute to his life and work.The first essay speaks to the need for the unity Fr. Kurz has lived so well. The next th…ree essays illuminate the kind of scholarship typical of Fr. Kurz's career: one tracks the key verb "choose" across Luke-Acts; another investigates the dinner at Emmaus through an interpretation of Caravaggio's famous painting; a third explores how we should imagine the everyday life of ordinary people in the seven cities that first received the book of Revelation. The next two essays, together with the final essay of the volume, examine the necessary union of exegesis and faith: one cannot separate exegesis of the human events of Scripture from the theological meaning of the text, because human agency cannot be separated from the action of the divine agency. The remaining essays highlight how faith-filled scholarship should feed action: one interprets the relevance of Genesis 1-3 for a theology of work, and another argues that the early chapters of Genesis are still relevant for morality today; a third essay highlights the role of the charisms of the Spirit in the Christian life, reflecting Fr. Kurz's own background in the charismatic movement; lastly, one essay describes Fr. Kurz's long life of action in the pro-life movement.Written and assembled by friends, colleagues, students, and long-time friends of Fr. Kurz, this festschrift honours his accomplishments and mirrors his virtues.

They are the heart and height of the moral life, a life lived subditus Deo.

Hardback. Condizione: New. In the third verse of his eponymous New Testament epistle, Jude exhorts his readers "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered", a charge that continues to resound to the present day. This collection of essays responds to the apostle's call by providing both a diagnosis of the ills of m…odern progressivist Catholic doctrinal and moral theology and a prescription for the safeguarding of orthodoxy via a rightly understood return to the traditional sources of theology.The essays in the first part of this collection seek to answer the question, "What went wrong with Catholic theology since the Second Vatican Council?". Following a brief account of the movement in modern theology from its philosophical basis in Kant and Hegel to the nouvelle théologie and later progressivist theologies of the twentieth century, the writings of Karl Rahner, Walter Kasper, and Bernhard Häring are treated as representative of principal problematic trends, and the concept of heresy is surveyed as it has been understood in the past and as it operates in the Church today. The essays in the second part indicate the way forward for Catholic doctrinal and moral theology, examining and distinguishing the orthodox use of the fontes theologiae of magisterial teachings, the deposit of faith in its development, the "sense of the faithful" (sensus fidelium), Sacred Scripture, and Church councils and synods.In its twofold attentiveness to contemporary errors in Catholic theology and to tradition-based correctives, The Faith Once for All Delivered offers an urgent and compelling summons to the sacred mission of defending doctrinal and moral orthodoxy.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The essays in this collection all concern the interpretation of Scripture in relation to the Catholic Ressourcement. A theological renewal movement that began in the early twentieth century, the Ressourcement movement centered on a "return to the sources" such as Scripture, the Church Fathers, and litu…rgy. The point of such a return was to discover in these sources the wisdom, truth, and spiritual insight which could speak meaningfully to contemporary challenges.William M. Wright first focuses on three major Ressourcement figures - Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, and Joseph Ratzinger - and considers aspects of their theological thinking about Scripture or how Scripture is employed as a theological resource. Next, Wright examines Benedict XVI's Jesus of Nazareth books, showing how they put into practice (for a general readership) many of the theological insights characteristic of the Ressourcement movement. Last, Wright considers how the theological insights of the Ressourcement movement can be used to as a resource for the interpretation of Scripture. He uses characteristic Ressourcement concerns, such as the relationship between the testaments, the theology of history, and liturgy, to help illumine the biblical text.Wright not only provides substantive examination of the place of the Bible in this important theological movement, but also shows how the insights of the Ressourcement can be helpful for the interpretation of Scripture today.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Modern biblical scholarship is often presented as analogous to the hard and natural sciences; its histories present the developmental stages as quasi-scientific discoveries. That image of Bible scholars as neutral scientists in pursuit of truth has persisted for too long.This examination of the lesser…known history of the development of modern biblical scholarship in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries seeks partially to fulfill Pope Benedict XVI's request for a thorough critique of modern biblical criticism by exploring the eighteenth and nineteenth century roots of modern biblical scholarship, situating those scholarly developments in their historical, philosophical, theological, and political contexts.Picking up where Scott W. Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's Politicizing the Bible left off, Hahn and Morrow show how biblical scholarship continued along a secularizing trajectory as it found a home in the newly developing Enlightenment universities, where it received government funding. The book makes clear why the discipline of modern biblical studies is often so hostile to religious and faith commitments today.

Hardback. Condizione: New. This collection of scholarly essays engages historical, theological, and exegetical dimensions of St. Thomas Aquinas's Commentary on Hebrews, treating such themes as Christ's priesthood, sonship, and knowledge, the angels, grace, the Church as "city," the relationship of the Old and New Testaments, Heb…rews' use of the Psalms, Christ's mercy and splendor, and the place of philosophy in Aquinas's commentary. The contributors are notable Thomists and experts in medieval theology, including Serge-Thomas Bonino, O.P., John Boyle, Aaron Canty, Gilles Emery, O.P., Anthony Giambrone, O.P., Franklin T. Harkins, Matthew Levering, Ignacio Manresa, Piotr Roszak, Mary Catherine Sommers, Daria Spezzano, and Jörgen Vijgen. These essays belong to an approach that is known as "Biblical Thomism," which pursues the retrieval of Aquinas's biblical commentaries as well as his patristic sources as part of a constructive response to the Second Vatican Council's emphasis on Scripture as being the soul of sacred theology. Since 2005, edited volumes have been appearing on Aquinas's biblical commentaries, including volumes on the Gospel of John, the Letter to the Romans, and the Book of Job. The intention of this newest volume is to make a contribution to the retrieval of Aquinas's Commentary on Hebrews in a manner that is historically sensitive and that indicates theological paths along which Aquinas's ongoing exegetical relevance may be appreciated.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The Sense of Mystery highlights what is clear and what retains the character of mystery in the traditional and Thomistic solution concerning the great problems pertaining to our knowledge in general, to our knowledge of God (whether naturally or supernaturally attained), and to questions pertaining to…grace. St. Thomas has fear neither for logic nor for mystery. Indeed, logical lucidity leads him to see in nature those mysteries that speak in their own particular ways of the Creator. Likewise, this same lucidity aids him in putting into strong relief other secrets of a far superior order-those of grace and of the intimate life of God, which would remain unknown were it not for Divine Revelation.

Hardback. Condizione: New. For renowned nineteenth-century German dogmatic theologian Matthias Scheeben, the divinely instituted liturgical cult of the Old Testament is replete with soteriological import, figuratively signifying not only Christ's saving work and the sacramental worship of the New Testament, but also the transfor…mation and elevation of the rational creature by divine grace. Scheeben's distinctive use of sacrificial concepts is rooted in his underlying view of sacrifice as primarily perfective-directed to the glorification of God and constituted by the conversion of the offering into a pleasing and acceptable aroma via ritual burning with God-given fire. In Christ and the Altar Fire, David Augustine offers an in-depth study of Scheeben's soteriology of sacrifice, providing a comprehensive analysis of his theology of sacrifice as well as a detailed examination of his sacrificial construal of Christ's person, his saving work, and its application to others. At the heart of this account is Scheeben's understanding of Christ's sacrifice as encompassing his entire paschal mystery-passion, death, resurrection, and ascension-itself a passage of glorification that serves as the site and source of deifying and latreutic nuptial union. As he shows, Scheeben employs the altar fire typology to establish a unity of cross and glory that fully maintains the atoning and meritorious significance of Christ's saving death. Displaying careful attentiveness to Scheeben's historical context and to the contours of his substantial corpus, Augustine also brings Scheeben's biblically inflected dogmatic theology into dialogue with contemporary biblical and theological scholarship, showcasing the enduring relevance of his thought.
