From the DirectorBlessed John Henry Newman, in An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, observed famously, “to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.” Change, it appears, is the theme of this catalog. As a response to the changes brought about by the Reformation, Catholic missionaries went into Eastern Europe to reclaim what had been lost; success required skilled orators and firebrand preachers. One such was Lawrence of Brindisi, OFM Cap, a doctor of the church. The story of his travels and his no-holds-barred preach-ing and writing are explored in Andrew Drenas’s book The Standard Bearer of the Roman Church.

A far more recent set of changes was brought about by the Second Vatican Council. Jared Wicks, SJ tells us more about these—especially the desire of the Council to build closer relations with other religions and the intention to place greater emphasis on Scripture—in Investigating Vatican II: Its Theologians, Ecumenical Turn, and Biblical Commitment. And, to help those who seek to understand sacred scripture more fully, we have a new book by Dennis Farkasfalvy, A Theology of the Christian Bible: Revelation-Inspiration-Canon.

Another book exploring biblical themes is that of Thomas Weinandy, OFM Cap, who was appointed by Pope Francis to the International Theological Commission. Weinandy’s book Jesus Becoming Jesus: A Theological Interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels is

a rich resource for those who delight in reading the New Testament.

The Press is pleased to become the distributors for two fine scholarly publishers, Humanum Academic Press and The Academy of American Franciscan His-tory. In a world that seems increasingly fragmented, it is encouraging to know that scholarly publishers can work together for the good of all.

We are also delighted to be publishing Shawn McKnight’s book Understanding the Diaconate: Histor-ical, Theological, and Sociological Foundations. The per-manent diaconate puzzles many of the faithful, and so a book that outlines the deeper aspects of this state of holy orders is to be welcomed. We are also delighted to report that since his manuscript went into production, McKnight was appointed by Pope Francis to be the bishop of the diocese of Jefferson City. Congratulations, Your Excellency!

One other major change affects us at the Press. Our work-study student, Emma Heck, has been with us all four years of her undergraduate life and soon graduates from the Catholic University with a degree in drama. Her cheerfulness and can-do attitude has been highly infectious. We shall miss her greatly, but wish her every success as she enters the world of full-time employment. For her sake, we pray there will be a coffee shop nearby.

Presents the sayings of the Fathers of the Church on the seven deadly sins and the virtues that restore the soul to health

“I can think of no better—and more immedi-

ately helpful—way to begin to read the Fathers

than in these pages, with these “sayings.” What

you’ll find here is spiritual direction, distilled

to its essence, from men whose counsel has

been tested and proven by scores of genera-

tions . . . We stand still in need of the very

practical direction the Fathers have to give.”

The Seven Deadly SinsSayings of the Fathers of the Church

Edited by Kevin M. ClarkeForeword by Mike Aquilina

SAYINGS OF THE FATHERS OF THE CHURCH

The Seven Deadly Sins: Sayings of the Fathers of the Church is the inau-gural volume in a new series from The Catholic University of America Press. This series will feature a wide range of scholars compiling mate-rial from the Fathers of the Church series to focus on a specific area of theology. Forthcoming titles will focus on Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell, and Angels and Demons, with others to be announced shortly.

Sacred Scripture did not neatly list the seven deadly sins, so where did this tradition come from? Unsurprisingly, it can be traced back to the Church Fathers. But were there eight or seven? In a sense, the an-swer is “both.” The tradition of the capital sins has a rich development in the patristic era, not only in the presentation of the list of vices but in the preaching and teaching of the early shepherds of the Church. So how do the capital sins spawn other vices in the soul? How does one cultivate the virtues that heal the soul from those vices? How are glut-tony and lust related? Is sadness really a vice? How is vainglory differ-ent from pride? What role does almsgiving have in soothing the pas-sion of anger? The Fathers of the Church answer these questions and more in this volume.

The capital vices are the gateway drugs to countless sins. The path of the book descends through the vices, culminating with their queen rul-er, pride. The words of the Fathers will assist the reader in being more realistic about the attacks upon the soul. The text should also be edify-ing and medicinal. Since each chapter begins with vice and ends with virtue, one’s path through the chapters represents a sort of ascent out of vice and into the freedom of the virtues. The text gives special attention throughout to the thought of Augustine of Hippo, Evagrius of Pontus, John Cassian, Gregory the Great, and Maximus the Confessor.

Theology/Church History

Investigating Vatican IIIts Theologians, Ecumenical Turn, and Biblical Commitment

Jared Wicks, SJ

Investigating Vatican II is a collection of Fr. Jared Wicks’ recent articles on Vatican II, and presents the Second Vatican Council as an event to which theologians contributed in major ways and from which Catholic theology can gain enormous insights. Taken as a whole, the articles take the reader into the theological dynamics of Vatican II at key moments in the Council’s historical unfolding. Wicks promotes a contemporary re-reception of Vatican II’s theologically profound documents, especial-ly as they featured God’s incarnate and saving Word, laid down princi-ples of Catholic ecumenical engagement, and articulated the church’s turn to the modern world with a new “face” of respect and dedication to service.

From the original motivations of Pope John XXIII in convoking the Council, Investigating Vatican II goes on to highlight the profound in-sights offered by theologians who served behind the scenes as Council experts. In its chapters, the book moves through the Council’s working periods, drawing on the published and non-published records, with at-tention to the Council’s dramas, crises, and breakthroughs. It brings to light the bases of Pope Francis’s call for synodality in a listening church, while highlighting Vatican II’s mandate to all of prayerful biblical read-ing, for fostering a vibrant “joy in the Gospel.”

Understanding the DiaconateHistorical, Theological, and Sociological Foundations

W. Shawn McKnightForeword by David W. Fagerberg

What is a deacon? More than fifty years since the restoration of the per-manent diaconate by the Second Vatican Council, the office of deacon is still in need of greater specificity about its purpose and place within the mission and organizational structure of the Church.

While the Church is more than a social reality, the Church none-theless has a social reality. Our understanding of the diaconate there-fore benefits from a theological discussion of the divine element of the Church and a sociological examination of the human element. Under-standing the Diaconate adds the resources of sociology and anthropol-ogy to the theological sources of scripture, liturgy, patristic era texts, theologians, and magisterial teachings to conclude that the deacon can be understood as “social intermediary and symbol of communitas” who serves the participation of the laity in the life and mission of the Church. This research proposes the deacon as a servant of the bond of communion within the Church (facilitating the relationship between the bishop/priest and his people), and between the People of God and the individual in need. Thus authentic diaconal ministry includes a vast array of many concrete contexts of pastoral importance where one does more than simply serve at Mass.

Understanding the Diaconate will undoubtedly be useful in the for-mation of permanent deacon candidates. But by shedding light on the unique ministry of deacons, the book also reveals how every member of the Church can be better supported and understood. Transition-al deacons will come to understand the service-identity that lays the foundation for their future presbyteral character; the laity will appre-ciate their own vocational call in the world when they find a cleric ac-companying them into the temporal sphere; the bishop will have the means to extend and enhance his care for his flock; and a world that is sick unto death will find the Church’s healing arm reaching out to it in word, liturgy, and charity. In these ways, W. Shawn McKnight makes clear the uniqueness of the deacon.

W. SHAWN MCKNIGHT is the pastor of the Church of the Magdalen in Wichita, KS and former Executive Director for the Secretariat of Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vo-cations at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. DAVID W. FAGERBERG is the author of On Liturgical Asceticism (CUA Press).

Philosophy/Bioethics

Human Embryos, Human BeingsA Scientific and Philosophical Approach

Samuel B. Condic and Maureen L. Condic

The overall purpose of Human Embryos, Human Beings is to establish the ontological status of the human embryo, in light of the most recent biological evidence. The thesis of the book is that sound philosophical reasoning and the available scientific evidence support the claim that a human being is present from the moment of fertilization onward (the “immediate hominization” view) and does not support the contrary claim that a human being appears only after a time following fertiliza-tion (the “delayed hominization” view).

Included in the scope of this argument is an examination of several long-standing philosophical arguments claiming that immediate homi-nization is false; a detailed examination of several arguments claiming that though immediate hominization is possible, both evidence and argument best support the delayed hominization view or some alter-nate view; and an examination of several cases where natural defect or scientific manipulation make determining the ontological status of the embryo more difficult. The book also includes a presentation of hylo-morphism, as this is the philosophical viewpoint employed by the au-thors to analyze the question.

Human Embryos, Human Beings is based on the premise that phil-osophical and scientific approaches are not in conflict, with the most comprehensive understanding of human embryos being achieved by application of a rigorous hylomorphic philosophy to the best available scientific data. Often, one finds either a thorough and well-reasoned philosophical account or a detailed scientific account. This book makes a welcome addition to the field by integrating both of these needed ele-ments into a single text.

SinA Thomistic Psychology

Steven J. Jensen

If the human soul is made for good, then how do we choose evil? On the other hand, perhaps the human soul is not made for good. Perhaps the magnitude of human depravity reveals that the human soul may directly choose evil. Notably, Thomas Aquinas rejects this explanation for the prevalence of human sin. He insists that in all our desires we seek what is good. How, then, do we choose evil? Only by mistaking evil for good. This solution to the difficulty, however, leads Aquinas into another conundrum. How can we be held responsible for sins commit-ted under a misunderstanding of the good? The sinner, it seems, has simply made an intellectual blunder. Sin has become an intellectual de-fect rather than a depravity of will and desire.

Sin: A Thomistic Psychology grapples with these difficulties. A solu-tion to the problem must address a host of issues. Does the ultimate good after which we all strive have unity, or is it simply a collection of basic goods? What is venial sin? What momentous choice must a child make in his first moral act? In what way do passion, a habitually evil will, and ignorance cause human beings to sin? What is the first cause of moral evil? Do human beings have free will to determine themselves to particular actions? The discussion of these topics focuses upon the interplay of reason, will, and the emotions, examining the inner work-ings of our moral deliberations. Ultimately, the book reveals how the failure to maintain balance in our deliberations subverts our fidelity to the one true good.

STEVEN J. JENSEN is the author of Knowing the Natural Law: From Precepts and Inclinations to Deriving Oughts; Living the Good Life: A Beginner’s Thomistic Ethics; Good and Evil Actions: A Journey through Saint Thomas Aquinas and the editor of The Ethics of Organ Transplantation (all CUA Press).

Theology/Biblical Studies

Jesus Becoming JesusA Theological Interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels

Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap. Foreword by John C. Cavadini

Jesus Becoming Jesus presents a theological interpretation of the Gos-pels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Unlike many conventional biblical commentaries, Weinandy concentrates on the theological content contained within the Synoptic Gospels. He does this in the light of the Church’s doctrinal and theological tradition, particularly in keeping with the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution, Dei Verbum. Weinandy accomplishes this through a close reading of the individual Gospels themselves as well as observing their theological relationship to one another. His interpretation of the Gospels also brings to the fore the theological significance of God’s revelation that is contained with-in the Old Testament which, likewise, shows how theological themes contained within Matthew, Mark, and Luke are found and developed within the Gospel of John, the Pauline Corpus and other New Testa-ment writings.

This original theological interpretation focuses primarily on the events narrated with the Synoptic Gospels—the conception and birth of John the Baptist and Jesus, Jesus’s baptism and temptations, his mira-cles, Peter’s profession of faith and Jesus’ transfiguration, Jesus’ trium-phal entrance into Jerusalem with the subsequent passion and resur-rection narratives. Within the theological examination of these salvific events, Jesus teaching is likewise discussed, particularly concerning the Beatitudes and his relationship to the Father and the Holy Spirit. The overarching theme of this book, as the title suggests, is that Jesus, be-ing named Jesus, throughout his public ministry and particularly in his passion, death, and resurrection, is enacting his name and so becoming who he is—YHWH-Saves.

Jesus Becoming Jesus offers a singular, vibrant, and luminous reading of the Synoptic Gospels; one that reveals the theological depth and doc-trinal sophistication contained within Matthew, Mark and Luke.

THOMAS G. WEINANDY, OFM, CAP. taught theology for close to 40 years, includ-ing at the University of Oxford. He is the author of more than 15 books and has published many academic and popular articles. Presently, he is a member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission. JOHN C. CAVADINI is professor of theology, University of Notre Dame.

An original scriptural achievement—a theological interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels authored by a respected/well-known Systematic Theologian.

“Weinandy’s work brings new insight and

theological vibrancy to the study of the

gospels. I am not aware of any other con-

temporary source that manages to capture

in one volume such an extensive theological

exposition of the gospels. The author’s creative

approach to “Jesus becoming more and more

Jesus in act through his saving acts” imparts

a delightful freshness to the study of the gos-

pels today, adapting traditional theological

concepts to a modern context in order to help

readers better see the face of Jesus who is true

man and son of the Father.”—Matthew Ramage, author of Jesus, Interpreted and Dark Passages of the Bible (CUA Press)

Fathers of the Church

On Di�culties in Sacred ScriptureThe Responses to ThalassiosSt. Maximos the ConfessorTranslated by Fr. Maximos Constas

FATHERS OF THE CHURCH VOLUME 136

Maximos the Confessor (ca. –2) is now widely recognized as one of the greatest theological thinkers, not simply in the entire canon of Greek patristic literature, but in the Christian tradition as a whole. A peripatetic monk and prolific writer, his penetrating theological vision found expression in an unparalleled synthesis of biblical exegesis, as-cetic spirituality, patristic theology, and Greek philosophy, which is as remarkable for its conceptual sophistication as for its labyrinthine style of composition. On Di�culties in Sacred Scripture, presented here for the first time in a complete English translation (including the scholia), contains Maximos’s virtuosic theological interpretations of sixty-five difficult passages from the Old and New Testaments. Because of its great length, along with its linguistic and conceptual difficulty, the work as a whole has been largely neglected. Yet alongside the Ambigua to John, On Di�culties in Sacred Scripture: The Responses to Thalassios deserves to be ranked as the Confessor’s greatest work and one of the most import-ant patristic treatises on the interpretation of Scripture, combining the interconnected traditions of monastic devotion to the Bible, the biblical exegesis of Origen, the sophisticated symbolic theology of Dionysius the Areopagite, and the rich spiritual anthropology of Greek Christian asceticism inspired by the Cappadocian Fathers.

FR. MAXIMOS CONSTAS is Senior Research Scholar at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, MA. Formerly Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School and a monk of Mt. Athos, he is the editor and translator of Maximos the Confessor, On Di�culties in the Church Fathers (the Ambigua to Thomas and John) (2014); and the author of The Art of Seeing: Paradox and Perception in Ortho-dox Iconography (2014) and Proclus of Constantinople and the Cult of the Virgin in Late Antiquity (2003), as well as numerous scholarly articles and studies.

Church History/European History

The Priest Who Put Europe Back TogetherThe Life of Rev. Fabian Flynn, CP

Sean Brennan

Philip Fabian Flynn led a remarkable life, bearing witness to some of the most pivotal events of the twentieth century. Flynn took part in the invasions of Sicily and Normandy, the Battle of Aachen, and the Bat-tle of the Hürtgen Forest. He acted as confessor to Nazi War Criminals during the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, assisted Hun-garian revolutionaries on the streets of Budapest, and the waves of ref-ugees arriving in Austria fleeing the effects of ethnic and political perse-cution during the Cold War.

The Priest Who Put Europe Back Together tells the story of this fasci-nating life. From solidly middle-class beginnings in Dorchester, Massa-chusetts, Flynn interacted with and occasionally advised some of the major political, military, and religious leaders of his era. His legacy as a Passionist priest, a chaplain in the US Army, and an official in the Catholic Relief Services was both vast and enormously beneficial. His life and career symbolized the “coming of age” of the United States as a global superpower, and the corresponding growth of the American Catholic Church as an international institution. Both helped liberate half of Europe from Fascist rule, and then helped to rebuild its political, economic, and social foundations, which led to an unprecedented peri-od of peace and prosperity. His efforts on behalf of both his country and his Church to contain Communist influence, and to assist the refugees of its tyranny, contributed to its collapse. Flynn was one of the hun-dreds of Americans who put Europe back together after a period of hor-rendous self-destruction. In a twentieth century filled with villains and despots, Flynn played a heroic and vital role in extraordinary times.

Theology/Biblical Studies

A Theology of the Christian BibleRevelation—Inspiration—Canon

Denis Farkasfalvy, O. Cist.

A Theology of the Christian Bible is built upon the thesis that divine rev-elation, the inspiration and canonization of Scripture should be viewed as “sequentially linked movements” of a single process wherein God re-veals his Word in history and ensures permanent accessibility of revela-tion for his People, both of Israel and of the Church.

The starting point is the view expressed in the Second Vatican Council’s document Dei Verbum that revelation consists of the “words and realities” of Salvation History. This marks a shift away from the neo-scholastic concept that approached revelation primarily as a set of propositional truths.

Farkasfalvy begins with the notion of revelation as a historical pro-cess: God reveals his Word in a “salvation history,” which culminates in the Incarnation. The transmission of revelation always involves human mediation by chosen individuals or, in the language of the biblical and patristic tradition, “Prophets and Apostles.” Farkasfalvy then moves on to review some of the major contributors to the theology of inspiration around the time of Vatican II (Bea, Rahner, Alonso-Schökel), the teach-ing of Dei Verbum proper, and finally the 2 document of the Pontif-ical Biblical Commission and biblical inspiration and the truth of the Bible, treating each of these in its individual context.

According to Farkasfalvy, the theology of inspiration was greatly handicapped by the neo-scholastic notion of God as a “literary author” of the scriptural texts. Advocating God as true and genuine “author” of Scripture, but in a non-literary sense, Farkasfalvy also reviews afresh the tradition inspiration-incarnation analogy. Scripture should be thought of in light of God progressively revealing himself in limited and located contexts to chosen human beings, through whom revelation is transmit-ted in verbal and, eventually, written form. God guides the complex com-positional processes of the biblical books so that his word becomes acces-sibly and permanently preserved in writing for his people, the Church.

The final chapters of A Theology of the Christian Bible take up the ex-tension of these dynamics into canonization. These largely exegetical and historical chapters focus on the transmission of the revelation in Christ through both Testaments by means of Jesus’ Apostles, embracing the Hebrew Scriptures and setting in motion the formation and, in ear-ly patristics, the canonization of the New Testament.

Philosophy

The Aristotelian Tradition of Natural Kinds and its DemiseStewart Umphrey

There are two great traditions of natural-kinds realism: the modern, in-stituted by Mill and elaborated by Venn, Peirce, Kripke, Putnam, Boyd, and others; and the ancient, instituted by Aristotle, elaborated by the “medieval” Aristotelians, and eventually overthrown by Galilean and Newtonian physicists, by Locke, Leibniz, and Kant, and by Darwin. Whereas the former tradition has lately received the close attention it deserves, the latter has not. The Aristotelian Tradition of Natural Kinds and its Demise is meant to fill this gap.

The volume’s theme is the emergence of Aristotle’s account of spe-cies, what Schoolmen such as Thomas Aquinas and William of Ockham did with this account, and the tacit if not explicit rejection of all such accounts in modern scientific theory. By tracing this history Stewart Umphrey shows that there have been not one but two relevant “scien-tific revolutions” or “paradigm shifts” in the history of natural philoso-phy. The first, brought about by Aristotle, may be viewed as a renewal of Presocratic natural philosophy in the light of Socrates’s “second sail-ing” and his insistence that we attend to what is first for us. It features an eido-centric conception of living organisms and other enduring things, and strongly resists any reduction of physics to mathematics. The second revolution, brought about by seventeenth-century physics, features a nomo-centric view according to which what is fundamental in nature are not enduring individuals and their kinds, as we common-ly suppose, but rather certain mathematizable relations among varying physical quantities. Umphrey examines and compares these two very different ways of understanding the natural order.

LEO STRAUSS

Philosophy/Political Philosophy

Leo Strauss and His Catholic ReadersEdited by Geo�rey M. Vaughan

This book looks at the work and influence of Leo Strauss in a variety of ways that will be of interest to readers of political philosophy. It will be of particular interest to Catholics and scholars of other religious tra-ditions. Strauss had a great deal of interaction with his contemporary Catholic scholars, and many of his students or their students teach or have taught at Catholic colleges and universities in America.

Leo Strauss and His Catholic Readers brings together work by schol-ars from two continents, some of whom knew Strauss, one of whom was his student at the University of Chicago. The first section of essays considers Catholic responses to Strauss’s project of recovering Classical natural right as against modern individual rights. Some of the authors suggest that his approach can be a fruitful corrective to an uncritical re-ception of modern ideas. Nevertheless, most point out that the Catholic cannot accept all of Strauss’s project. The second section deals with areas of overlap between Strauss and Catholics. Some of the chapters explore encounters with his contemporary scholars while others turn to more current concerns. The final section approaches the theological-political question itself, a question central to both Strauss’s work and that of the Catholic intellectual tradition. This section of the book considers the re-lationship of Strauss’s work to Christianity and Christian commitments at a broader level.

Because Christianity does not have an explicit political doctrine, Christians have found themselves as rulers, subjects, and citizens in a variety of political regimes. Leo Strauss’s return to Platonic political phi-losophy can provide a useful lens through which his Catholic readers can assess what it means for there to be a best regime.

Thomas Aquinas and His PredecessorsThe Philosophers and the Church Fathers in His Works

Leo J. Elders

Thomas Aquinas and His Predecessors takes us on a voyage through the history of philosophical thought as present in the works of Thomas Aquinas. It is a synthetic presentation of the works and thought of the great predecessors of Aquinas, as he knew and used them. This is the first time that a comprehensive survey of the works of these influen-tial thinkers that were quoted by St. Thomas Aquinas is presented in a readable form.

Throughout Aquinas’s corpus he commented on the works of Aris-totle, Boethius and Dionysius, showed great interest in and use of the writings of St. Augustine, St. Jerome, St. John Chrysostom, Gregory the Great and John Damascene, as well as the great Arab and Jewish schol-ars of the tenth to the twelfth centuries. However, the precise extent of Aquinas’s knowledge and use of these various writings has not always been clear.

In Thomas Aquinas and His Predecessors chapters are devoted to Thom-as’s relationship with stoicism, Cicero and Seneca, and neo-platonist thought. For this volume, Dr. Elders has researched the thousands of quotations of these different authors in the works of Aquinas. The refer-ences reveal the admirable knowledge Thomas had of the doctrine of the different authors, his evaluation of them, his agreement and disagree-ment. In sum, the book is an illustration of how the philosophical and theological works of St. Thomas Aquinas lie in close scholarly, philosoph-ical, and theological proximity with the writings and thought of his great predecessors.

Theology

A Gi� of PresenceThe Theology and Poetry of the Eucharist in Thomas Aquinas

Jan-Heiner TückTranslated by Scott G. Hefel�ngerForeword by Bruce D. Marshall

Jan-Heiner Tück presents a work that explores the sacramental the-ology, lived spirituality, and Eucharistic poetry of the Church’s doctor communis, St. Thomas Aquinas. Although Aquinas’ Eucharistic poetry has long occupied an important place in the Church’s liturgical prayer and her repertoire of sacred music, the depth of these poems remains hidden until one grasps the rich sacramental theology underlying it. Consequently, Tück first offers a detailed but approachable primer of Aquinas’ theology of the sacraments, before diving deeply into the Angelic Doctor’s theology and poetry of the Eucharist. The Scriptural accounts stand at the heart of the systematic framework developed by Aquinas, and thus significant attention is devoted to showing the har-mony between the accounts of Christ’s passion and the detailed expo-sition of the Summa theologiae. Moreover, the Eucharistic controversies of the ninth and eleventh centuries provide the contrapuntal context in which Aquinas did his thinking, praying, and writing. Not surprising-ly, therefore, the response he crafts to these controversies draws upon both speculative powers and contemplative prayer, brought together in the unity of Aquinas’ theology and spirituality. The net result is a two-fold treasure for the Church: a careful systematic presentation of Eu-charistic theology and the lived devotional expression of the same in the carefully constructed—and now much beloved—stanzas of Pange lingua gloriosi, Lauda Sion, Adoro te devote, etc. By revealing the lively in-terplay of the saint’s powerful speculative intellect and a heart steeped in love for the Eucharistic Lord, Tück offers a sophisticated exposition of Aquinas’ Eucharistic poetry and the roots it sinks into a wider theo-logical framework. Finally, the contemporary significance and power of Aquinas’ work is drawn out, not only in the rarefied realm of intellectu-al inquiry but also in the everyday expanse of ordinary life.

Church History

The Standard Bearer of the Roman ChurchLawrence of Brindisi and Capuchin Missions in the Holy Roman Empire (1599–1613)

Andrew J. G. Drenas

The Standard Bearer of the Roman Church examines the missionary work of the early modern Capuchin friar, and doctor of the Church, Lawrence of Brindisi. Renowned in his own day as a preacher, Bible scholar, mis-sionary, chaplain, and diplomat, as well as vicar general of his order, Lawrence led the first organized, papally-commissioned Capuchin mis-sion among the non-Catholics of Bohemia in the Holy Roman Empire from to 2. He returned again under papal mandate, from to 3. Andrew J. G. Drenas analyzes Lawrence’s evangelistic and po-lemical strategies in central Europe in order to shed light on some of the ways the Capuchins labored in religiously divided territories to confirm Catholics in their faith and to win over heretics.

The introduction explains, principally, the book’s purpose and the his-toriographical background. After providing a brief biographical sketch of Lawrence’s life followed by details of his afterlife, Drenas examines Law-rence’s leading role in establishing the Capuchins’ new Commissariate of Bohemia-Austria-Styria in , and specifically its first three friaries in Prague, Vienna, and Graz. From there the volume moves on to treat his preaching against heresy, followed by a focus on how Lawrence, while in Prague, involved himself directly in theological disputations with two different Lutheran preachers. The first dispute, with Polycarp Leyser, took place in July , and dealt with good works and justification. The sec-ond, with a Lutheran whose identity remains unknown, and which oc-curred in August , concerned Catholic veneration of the Virgin Mary. This is followed by an analysis of the Lutheranismi hypotyposis, or The Ex-press Image of Lutheranism, Lawrence’s literary refutation of Lutheranism following additional contact with Polycarp Leyser in . Finally, Dre-nas considers briefly the effectiveness of Lawrence’s apostolate and closes with a review of the book as a whole.

American Catholic History

Ingrained HabitsGrowing Up Catholic in Mid-Twentieth-Century America

Mary Ellen O’Donnell

Born Catholic. Raised Catholic. Americans across generations have used these phrases to describe their formative days, but the experi-ence of growing up Catholic in the United States has changed over the last several decades. While the creed and the sacraments remain the same, the context for learning the faith has transformed. As a result of demographic shifts and theological developments, children face a dif-ferent set of circumstances today from what they encountered during the mid-twentieth-century. Through a close study of autobiographical and fictional texts that depict the experience, Ingrained Habits explores the intimate details of everyday life for children growing up Catholic during the s, s, and s. These literary portrayals present up-bringings characterized by an all-encompassing encounter with re-ligion. The adult authors of such writings run the gamut from vowed priests to unwavering atheists and their depictions range from glowing nostalgia to deep-seated resentment; however, they curiously describe similar experiences from their childhood days in the Church.

Mary Ellen O’Donnell uses examples from her own family’s expe-riences to frame this story of change within an American Catholic life. Her analysis of the literature about pre-Vatican II Catholicism points to a perceived insular environment infused with religious authority in multiple contexts. The book includes a chapter about each of the three distinct, but linked, settings considered in the study—the insti-tutional parish/school, the family home and the ethnic neighborhood. These places offered discrete introductions to and lessons about the faith, but they combined to constitute an enveloping Catholic world. As the larger institution of the Church was changing across the de-cades of the mid-twentieth-century, a generation of Catholics was be-ing formed through particular details within daily routines. Ingrained Habits, through the literature it surveys, brings us to the classrooms and confessionals, kitchens and bedrooms, sidewalks and stoops where it happened.

Canon Law

A Service Beyond All RecompenseStudies Offered in Honor of Msgr. Thomas J. Green

Kurt Martens, Editor

When Monsignor Thomas J. Green, professor at the School of Canon Law at The Catholic University of America, approached his seventy-fifth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his priestly ordination, his col-leagues planned on offering him a fitting tribute in the form of a fest-schrift. Six people with different backgrounds, but all related to Msgr. Green on one way or another, have written a laudatio—a short congrat-ulatory letter—in honor of Monsignor Green. No less than fifteen contri-butions on various topics by colleagues, canon law scholars, clearly re-late and reflect upon the honoree’s scholarly contributions to canon law. The topics are extremely varied, and illustrate how Monsignor Green has been or is active in nearly every area of canon law. Virtually every book of the Code of Canon Law is covered, if not directly, at least indi-rectly. While the book is a tribute to an eminent professor, the various scholarly contributions are unique pieces of scholarship.

The authors of the laudatio are: John Garvey (President, The Cath-olic University of America); Andrew Abela (Provost, The Catholic Uni-versity of America); Rev. Msgr. J. Brian Bransfield (General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops); Rev. Msgr. Ronny E. Jenkins (Dean, School of Canon Law, The Catholic University of Amer-ica); Rev. Msgr. J. James Cuneo (Diocese of Bridgeport) and Sister Sha-ron Euart, RSM (Executive Director, Resource Center for Religious Insti-tutes, Silver Spring, MD).

Medieval Studies

The Profession of WidowhoodWidows, Pastoral Care, and Medieval Models of Holiness

Katherine Clark Walter

The Profession of Widowhood explores how the idea of ‘true’ widowhood was central to pre-modern ideas concerning marriage and of female identity more generally. The medieval figure of the Christian vere vidua or “good” widow evolved from and reinforced ancient social and reli-gious sensibilities of chastity, loyalty and grief as gendered ‘work.’ The ideal widow was a virtuous woman who mourned her dead husband in chastity, solitude, and most importantly, in perpetuity, marking her as “a widow indeed” ( Tim :). The widow who failed to display adequate grief fulfilled the stereotype of the ‘merry widow’ who forgot her de-parted spouse and abused her sexual and social freedom. Stereotypes of widows ‘good’ and ‘bad’ served highly-charged ideological functions in pre-modern culture, and have remained durable even in modern times, even as Western secular society now focuses more on a woman’s recov-ery from grief and possible re-coupling than the expectation that she remain forever widowed.

The widow represented not only the powerful bond created by love and marriage, but also embodied the conventions of grief that ordered the response when those bonds were broken by premature death. This notion of the widow as both a passive memorial to her husband and as an active ‘rememberer’ was rooted in ancient traditions, and appropri-ated by early Christian and medieval authors who used “good” widow-hood to describe the varieties of female celibacy and to define the social and gender order. A tradition of widowhood characterized by chastity, solitude, and permanent bereavement affirmed both the sexual mores and political agenda of the medieval Church. Medieval widows—both holy women recognized as saints and ‘ordinary women’ in medieval daily life—recognized this tradition of professed chastity in widowhood not only as a valuable strategy for avoiding remarriage and protecting their independence, but as a state with inherent dignity that afforded opportunities for spiritual development in this world and eternal merit in the next.

Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap.

“Thomas Weinandy has done an excellent job in this book in introduc-ing Athanasius’ theology. A well-known Catholic scholar in historical theology, Weinandy has provided students of theology with a profound historiography of Athanasius’ major theological writing.”—Calvin Theo-logical Journal

“A reliable, concise introduction to the theology of Athanasius.”—Inter-national Journal of Systematic Theology

“A sustained and intelligent introduction to Athanasius and his litera-ture, and will rightly appear on all undergraduate patristic bibliogra-phies.”—The Journal of Theological Studies

“A very fine theological (as its subtitle emphasizes) introduction to the Alexandrian bishop . . . [an] accessible, intelligent, and worthy volume, which offers the reader an overview of Athanasius’s thought within the context of his full, if at times harried, ecclesiastical life.”—Nova et Vetera

“Weinandy offers a summary of Athanasius’ central works and a bal-anced assessment of his theology’s merits and contemporary signifi-cance . . . No student of Athanasius should overlook this reliable guide-book to the little Alexandrian’s great life and works.”—Religious Studies Review

“Weinandy’s introduction to Athanasius is an important work, familiar-izing the reader with Athanasius’ life, writings, and fundamental con-cerns. Throughout, the centrality of soteriology clearly emerges, wheth-er the topic is the doctrine of the Trinity or the life of Antony. Hopefully this book will serve to bring Athanasius’ soteriology more prominently into contemporary discussions alongside the other great masterpieces on this doctrine.”—Themelios

THOMAS G. WEINANDY, OFM, CAP. taught theology for close to 40 years, includ-ing at the University of Oxford. He is the author of more than 15 books and has published many academic and popular articles. Presently, he is a member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission.

The One ChristSt. Augustine’s Theology of Deification

David Vincent Meconi, SJ

“Meconi goes a long way toward helping us correct our common mis-conceptions about deification and toward broadening our understand-ing of the way the concept can function in tandem with other motifs in the soteriology of a great giant of the Christian faith.”—Augustinian Studies

“Meconi’s original approach to Augustine’s soteriology is an important corrective to the usual emphasis on escape from the massa damnata. His book should be on the shelves of every patristics scholar.”—Heythrop Journal

“Meconi has provided a useful survey of Augustine’s use of the language of deification and treatment of the issues necessary to support this form of soteriology. The book collects, organizes, and explains what Augus-tine has said, rather than exploring the inner coherence of his position and comparing it to the teaching of his contemporaries, such as the Cappadocians or Cyril of Alexandria.”—Journal of Early Christian Studies

“. . . careful treatment of Augustine’s texts in view of the whole . . . makes Meconi’s a truly valuable study.”—Modern Theology

“The One Christ makes a worthy contribution to an area of scholarship that offers little space for innovation or originality, and Meconi’s work deserves to be read by all Augustine scholars, as well as those more broadly interested in the theme of deification.”—Reviews in Religion and Theology

A General Doctrine of the Sacraments and The Mystery of the EucharistJohann Auer

DOGMATIC THEOLOGY

In A General Doctrine of the Sacraments, Johann Auer aims to achieve a deeper understanding of the inner structure of the sacraments and of how they determine the structure of our Christian existence. In The Mystery of the Eucharist, Auer takes account of the biblical, historical, and theological aspects of the Church’s teaching on the Eucharist.

JOHANN AUER (1910–1989) was a Catholic theologian and professor of Dogmatics and dogma history at the Universities of Bonn and Regensburg.

The ChurchThe Universal Symbol of Salvation

Johann Auer

DOGMATIC THEOLOGY

Presents an understanding of the nature of the Church that is relevant for our time. Central to Auer’s discussion is the Vatican II concept of the Catholic Church as the universal sacrament of salvation. Firmly grounding his commentary in Scripture and in the history of doctrine, Auer clearly outlines the meaning of the Church’s sacramental nature. He addresses the problems of apostolic succession and the infallibility of the pope, and considers the Church’s tasks in the modern world and its relationship to those important elements in our society—the state, the economy, art, science—that impinge upon our everyday lives.

WITH A FOREWORD BY JACQUES MARITAIN and an Introduction by James Matthew Wilson

SAMUEL HAZOThe World within the WordMaritain and the Poet

Samuel HazoForeword by Jacques MaritainIntroduction by James Matthew Wilson

FRANCISCAN UNIVERSITY PRESS

This book, written in , arises from the encounter of two men: the American poet Samuel Hazo and the French philosopher Jacques Mari-tain. They met on September 2, , at Maritain’s home in Princeton, New Jersey. Hazo sought to engage Maritain’s diffuse writings in aes-thetics by bringing them into conversation with the great voices of the English literary tradition, especially Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and John Keats.

Hazo was also striving to understand and articulate his own expe-rience of the creative process. Then at the beginning of his writing life, he would later emerge as a leading voice in American poetry. He is the author of more than thirty collections, the winner of many awards, the founder of the International Poetry Forum, and a National Book Award finalist.

The World within the Word is the only book about Jacques Maritain for which Maritain himself wrote a foreword.

SAMUEL HAZO is the founder and director of the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also McAnulty Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at Duquesne University, where he taught for forty-three years. JAMES MATTHEW WILSON is associate professor of religion and literature at Villanova University and author of The Vision of the Soul: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in the Western Tradition (CUA Press).

Writing and FreedomFrom Nothing to Persons and Back

William Myers


Twelve essays in literary theory, philosophy, and religion—about athe-ism, freedom, and “the Jesus thought experiment”—connect, but don’t conclude. A recurring theme is the “nothing” at the heart of the deep atheism of George Eliot, Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, and Thomas Hardy, who approach “nothing” with a directness lack-ing in their English-speaking philosophical contemporaries. How does being in the world—Thomas Nagel’s “what-it’s-likeness”—and how do values—Alasdair MacIntyre’s justice and misericordia—fare in the face of the mindless “It” that Hardy finds at the heart of things? A pivotal essay compares the theism of Paul Ricoeur and the atheism of Daniel Den-nett—the subtitle is a response to the latter’s latest book.

Writing and Freedom defends (a strong version of) free will as nec-essarily interpersonal: my freedom is nothing but my acceptance of yours. This is how Milton, Rossetti, and Dickinson treat their readers, and how scientists and philosophers ideally treat each other. The book’s open-ended essays model freedom so understood. Moreover, both “nothing” and “freedom” are fundamental to biblical and religious narratives (Mark and Newman). God, being “out of all relation” with the finite, cannot be known from the text of the world. Yet as “nothing,” God may be said to grant unconditional autonomy to his creatures, and therefore to be pres-ent in his absence. It is round “nothing,” therefore, that atheists and the-ists endlessly circulate. But that is what the deep atheism of European thinkers—Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan, and Žižek—say we all do anyway, however excitedly we pretend to ourselves that we don’t.

WILLIAM MYERS is emeritus professor of English literature at Leicester University. His latest book, The Thoughtful Heart: The Metaphysics of John Henry Newman, was published by Marquette University Press in 2013.

Mother Teresa and the MysticsMother Teresa and the MysticsToward a Renewal of Spiritual Theology

Edited by Michael Dauphinais, Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, and Roger W. NuttForeword by H. James Towey

SAPIENTIA PRESS OF AVE MARIA UNIVESITY PUBLICATIONS

Mother Teresa was one of those rare figures in history who enjoyed a wide and solid reputation of holiness during her lifetime. She became—for Catholics, Christians, and those of other faiths or even of none—a symbol of kindness, compassion, and tender care of the poorest people throughout the world. Known as a joyful and generous soul, Mother Teresa inspired countless persons to experience the “joy of loving,” as she liked to say, through their own acts of love and compassion.

It thus came as a total surprise to everyone, including the members of her own religious family, the Missionaries of Charity, that Mother Teresa experienced nearly fifty years of what she called “the darkness.” When a book of her private letters, Come, be My Light, was published in 2, it caused a sensation. It received worldwide media attention, including as the cover story of Time magazine. People struggled to un-derstand it; many misunderstood it, some entirely!

As the president of Ave Maria University, Jim Towey, tells us in the introduction, many questions abound about Mother Teresa’s darkness: “What are we to make of the spiritual darkness that enshrouded Mother Teresa so tightly? Could the words and experiences of this little Alba-nian woman with no advanced formal education have anything to say to the challenges the twenty-first century presents?”

Ave Maria University gathered theologians to begin answering these questions and others. The resulting symposium provided the contents of this book. The first such assembly of scholarly work on the topic, Mother Teresa and the Mystics offers readers the opportunity to enter much more deeply into the interior—even mystical—world of St. Teresa of Calcutta.

American Church History

Voice of EmpathyA History of Franciscan Media in the United States

Raymond Haberski, Jr

THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN FRANCISCAN HISTORY

Where do we find religion? In places of worship? For many, it can be found in the activities of daily life, from shopping for groceries and making dinner to falling in love and raising children. How do histori-ans write this history? How do they record the significance of religious culture expressed through the mundane and the extraordinary—from letters to magazines to praying for miracles at shrines? This study offers more than a century’s worth of religion lived through media, particu-larly Franciscan media.

From the late nineteenth century through the present, Franciscan media have offered Catholics in the United States ways to reflect on and react to the issues of daily life: family, sex, children, obedience to church doctrine (from dietary requirements to treatment of divorced Catholics), communism, and even the moral dimensions of popular culture, espe-cially movies. Interaction through media helped shape Catholic iden-tity, revealing the difficulty of living as a Catholic in modern America. Franciscans wrote for magazines, produced radio shows, developed film projects, and understood that to reach people, they needed to appeal to the heart as well as to the head—to speak to the emotion of living one’s Catholicism as well as thinking about what Catholicism means. Voice of Empathy uses a spectrum of sources, from letters to priests in print magazines such as St. Anthony Messenger to scripts for shows such as The Hour of St. Francis to the multi-platform work of Mother Angelica and Father Richard Rohr, to highlight the fluid engagement between faith and the secular world. The social, economic, political, and cultural de-velopments that gave shape to Franciscan media also became the con-text in which Franciscans forged particular approaches to their pastoral ministry. Of particular note, Voice of Empathy deals extensively with the central role women have played in Franciscan media as consumers, pro-ducers, and shapers of lived Catholicism.

Many Tongues, One FaithA History of Franciscan Parish Life in the United States

David J. Endres

THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN FRANCISCAN HISTORY

The history of Franciscan parishes in the United States mirrors the so-cial, religious and cultural shifts brought about by repeated waves of immigrants to the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This study offers a glimpse into the struggles of Franciscan priests, sisters, and laity attempting to live out their faith amidst the challenges of the time: religious bigotry, racial and ethnic strife, and cultural and religious challenges. The Franciscan experience provides an important element in the tapestry of the American experience.

Readers of this work will learn about the Franciscan priest who persuaded his fellow Polish immigrants to engage in an ill-fated settle-ment experiment in Texas. They will learn about Franciscan efforts to evangelize Native Americans, the Menominee at Keshena, Wisconsin, utilizing catechetical material in the natives’ language. Readers will be-come acquainted with one of the first Italian churches in New York City, St. Anthony of Padua, where a multiethnic parish gave rise to disputes over leadership in the community. In Los Angeles, the parish of St. Law-rence of Brindisi is highlighted, providing an exploration of ministry to an impoverished community located near the epicenter of the Watts riots. And readers will be transported to the serene setting of ru-ral northern Ohio where a Marian shrine has been the site of dozens of claimed miraculous healings.

While the portraits of fourteen Franciscan parishes contained in this work are diverse—geographically, ethnically, and chronologically—they collectively witness to the distinctiveness of the Franciscan charism of embracing poverty, fostering community, offering reconciliation, and serving those on society’s margins. Their story is part of the American story.

Enlightening the Mystery of ManGaudium et spes Fifty Years Later

Edited by Antonio López, FSCB

HUMANUM ACADEMIC PRESS

The Second Vatican Council represents a decisive milestone in the rela-tionship between the Church and the world. The pastoral constitution Gaudium et spes proclaims a new spirit of missionary dialogue, open-ness, and mutual enrichment. The Church endeavored to recognize the genuine “triumphs” of the modern age, and, bearing in mind also the serious “ambiguities” and “tragedies” that characterize our modern culture, sought to present anew the profound beauty of Christian exis-tence.

What then does it mean for the Church to be “open” to the modern world? How can the world be receptive to the novel life the Church of-fers? How does the Christian navigate this dialogue? The essays gath-ered in this volume explore the theological anthropology of Gaudium et spes for answers to these questions. They strive to elucidate that only by the light of God’s infinite love incarnate in Jesus Christ does the human person come to perceive the mystery of his own being and the world come to realize itself; only then do the social realities of economy, work, and family take on human form.

Philosophy

Homo AbyssusThe Drama of the Question of Being

Ferdinand UlrichTranslated by D.C. Schindler

humanum academic press

Homo Abyssus is one of the most significant works of Catholic philoso-phy in the twentieth century. In this speculative appropriation of Aqui-nas, Ferdinand Ulrich lays out a vision of being as an image of divine goodness, drawing out as-yet-undiscovered treasures from Aquinas’s texts through a fundamental engagement with modern philosophy, above all Hegel and Heidegger. One of the most unique features of this vision is, as Hans Urs von Balthasar observed, “It stands face-to-face with the innermost mysteries of Christian revelation, and opens them up, without ever departing from the strictly philosophical sphere. In this respect, it overcomes the baleful dualism between philosophy and theology perhaps more successfully than any previous attempt.”

The first part of the book o�ers a fundamental metaphysics, ex-pounding in detail the basic structure of being in the light of creation ex nihilo interpreted as an act of radical generosity. This discussion presents novel insights into traditional themes such as the real distinc-tion between essence and existence, participation, causality, and the analogy of being; and it explores from the same perspective of radical generosity themes associated more with modern philosophy, such as the relationship between being and nothingness, the ontological di�er-ence, and being and time. The second part of the book is a speculative anthropology, which proposes to think through the constitution of the human being as a kind of dynamic exemplar of the meaning of being: man not only shows the meaning of being, but co-enacts it in his rela-tion to himself, to the world, and to God.

In addition to o�ering the first major work of Ulrich to appear in English, this translation includes a substantial introduction by Martin Bieler, and a helpful lexicon to help elucidate the book’s unusual vo-cabulary.

The ThomistTimothy F. Bellamah, OP, Editor

The Thomist appeals to a wide international readership in the universi-

ty, the seminary, and the Church. In the tradition and spirit of Thomas

Aquinas, it seeks to promote original and penetrating inquiry into the full

range of contemporary philosophical and theological questions. It under-

takes particularly to support sustained discussion of issues of philosophy

and systematic theology, where such discussion can be advanced by cre-

ative use of the thought of Aquinas and significant authors in the Thom-

istic tradition. In this way The Thomist seeks to cultivate a fruitful dialogue

between modern and contemporary philosophical systems and the classi-

cal tradition of philosophy and Christian theology.

Quaestiones Disputatae Paul Symington, Editor

Quaestiones Disputatae is a journal of philosophy from the Franciscan

University of Steubenville inspired by the medieval dialectical form of the

“disputed question:” a method of philosophical discussion aimed at ad-

dressing the relevant issues of the time. This journal addresses significant

questions and topics of contemporary philosophic interest in the spirit of

the medieval quaestiones disputatae. Recognizing that significant phil-

osophical contributions are found among philosophers of various back-

grounds and outlooks, the journal is, therefore, not limited to a particu-

lar period of philosophy, nor is it representative of a specific philosophic

school or point of view.
