The four books of the Summa contra Gentiles were written by Thomas Aquinas between 1259-1265, before the considerably larger and more influential, Summa Theologica. The purpose of each work was different. Whereas the Summa Theologica addressed the faithful, especially theology students, the intention of the Summa Contra Gentiles (Systematic Exposition Against Non-Christians) was to speak to a non-aligned and even hostile audience. To that purpose, Aquinas presented arguments ‘refuting specific beliefs or heresies.'

The key to understanding the seven letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation is to understand the times that the letters were written in. In each letter, Jesus references places, reputations, historical events and other things that those receiving the letter would be familiar with.

The unique history, religious traditions, monuments and other details are explored and connected to each of the letters, bringing a fresh understanding to our generation.

Quattro elementi di un cenacolo si incontrano dopo essersi intensamente conosciuti durante la rivoluzione francese. Questi "sentire" che da incarnati sono chiamate "persone", completano adesso la "lezione evolutiva" iniziata in Francia nella vita precedente.

Living at the heart of the mystery of the hidden life of Jesus at Nazareth, a Camaldolese hermit here sings the praises of the silent life in the desert of those men and women whom Christ calls. These few and very simple conferences were given to some brother hermits. They endeavor to express the meaning of their "disappearance", which in our difficult and grandiose period of history has about it a savor of modernity. A subsequent reflection of the author on St. Romuald's monastic experience has been translated from the Italian and added to this edition as an appendix. "A son of St. Romuald...

This book offers answers by providing a thorough biblical analysis of law and grace, demonstrating how they are not at odds with each other. Topics include: the role of God's law in a Christian’s life, the distinctions between justification and sanctification, what happens when laws collide (moral ...

The following document concerning Mary, Mother of Jesus, contains little that is fundamentally new. It is rather for the most part a synthesis of Mary’s exalted roles as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate as they are already contained in the sources of divine revelation, Sacred Scripture and Apostolic Tradition, as interpreted by the Magisterium (cf. Dei Verbum, n. 9, 10), and as it is presently understood and experienced in the dynamic ecclesial life of the Living, Pondering, and Praying Church, the People of God. It is true that in the divine drama of how God makes himself and his ...

What is baptism, and why is it significant? This book answers these questions by offering baptism as a life-giving prism through which we can view the entirety of our Christian experience. Far from being a staid ritual, baptism, whatever its form, gives each person, each local church, and the church as a whole a common source of identity and purpose. Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience and scholarship, Dr. Shoemaker explores the spectrum of meanings present in our own baptisms and offers a wealth of ideas for church leaders as they prepare times of worship centered around this ...

Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, has performed a true service to bishops, pastors, and theologians, and for the laity as well, in his reintroduction of the invaluable insights of Pope Benedict XIV contained in his classic treatment De Servorum Dei Beatificatione et de Beatorum Canonizatione concerning the proper norms for discerning reports of prophecy and private revelation. Dr. Miravalle has also complemented the classic Church tradition on private revelation with contemporary guidelines for the discernment of prophecy ...

St. Veronica Giuliani (1660-1727) is considered one of the most extraordinary mystics in the history of Christianity. A Poor Clare nun, she was a stigmatic who offered her many mystical sufferings for others. After fifty years in a monastery, where she served as abbess and novice directress, she ended her life essentially divinized. And yet, even though numerous popes have extolled her virtues, St. Veronica Giuliani is little known outside her native region and Capuchin Order. Now, for the first time ever, a compendium of her Diary has been translated into English. While all saints are ...

Out of a deep, heartfelt love of my church I write this work as a call to those who worship in the Wesleyan/Methodist tradition to reclaim the anchor points of liturgy and order which have been both historically and theologically bedrock foundations of faith and worship. The book is divided into two sections. The first explores the historical path of worship within the Wesleyan/Methodist traditions. The second identifies elements of worship which should remain steadfast in both worship styles by examining their historical value, their Wesleyan connection, and the practical application in a ...

Hosea 2:14 After a thousand years and in a new world, this volume assembles, for the first time in any language, all the key foundational writings of the oldest eremitic order of the Western Church. The earliest of these, Saint Bruno-Boniface's The Life of the Five Hermit Brothers, doubles as one of the most important documents of early Polish history. The two most celebrated works of "the Monitor of Popes", Doctor of the Church Saint Peter Damian, are included: The Life of Blessed Romuald and...
