Banished From Eden

Original Sin and Evolutionary Theory in the Drama of Salvation


Raymund Schwager, SJ
Raymund Schwager explores how, if approached in an interdisciplinary way, and understood at the profound levels of human experience and thought that they reperesent, evolutionary theory and the doctrine of original sin need not contradict each other. Orginal sin, which ostensibly confuses separate realms in a mythological way, may preserve a deeper and critical view of the 'drama' of modernity has on the surfaceartificially separated. Looking at current developments in genetic technology, based on the concept of the organism as living memory, he observes the experience of suffering and evil in the contexts of natural and human history, and of revelation history.

Catholics in Interreligious Dialogue
Monasticism, Theology and Spirituality


Edited by Anthony O'Mahoney & Peter Bowe, OSB
This volume brings together a wide-ranging and engaging series of studies that witness to the depth of theological relection that the contemporary Christian monastic and scholarly community is engaged in as religious traditions seek to understand and relate to each other in a global context. Here are relections on encounters with Buddhism, where the main efforts of monastic interreligious dialogue have been directed, with Hinduism and with Islam (from St.Francis to the Cistercian Martyrs of Algeria). As well as profiling the history and current witness of monastic interreligious dialogue, the volume also contains studies of the great pioneers of this work - Charles de Foucauld, Bede Griffiths, Louis Massignon, Henri Le Saux (Abhishiktananda) and Thomas Merton.

Christ, The Ideal of the Priest


Blessed Columba Marmion

One of the foremost spiritual masters of the twentieth century, Blessed Columba Marmion, wrote this classic work on the priesthood to show the great holiness that priests are called to, and how that holiness can only be attained through close union with, and imitation of, Jesus Christ. While aimed at the clergy, this profound spiritual work will also be of immense inspiration for laity in coming to a deeper understanding of the true nature and calling of the priesthood.

A Deep and Subtle Joy

Life at Quarr Abbey

Luke Bell OSB

An introduction to Benedictine, and indeed Christian, spirituality. It takes the reader on a twenty-four-hour personal tour of Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight. The reader is invited to share in the lives of the monks and enter into their rhythm of worship, work, reading, prayer and recreation.

The chapters are organised according to the rhythm of the day and answer questions such as, "What can we learn from the way pigs eats?" and "Why is the cloister hidden?" Taking illustrations from both nature and scripture, A Deep and Subtle Joy describes various areas in the monastery, as well as particularly moments in the day. Each chapter focuses on a time of day, which has its won spiritual theme.

Father Luke Bell, OSB, is a monk at Quarr Abbey. He studied English at Cambridge University, and has experience as a teacher, a pastor of a country parish, and a prison chaplain. He is the author of several books on aspects of Christian spirituality.

Faith Through Reason

áry
Preface by Cardinal Jospeh Ratzinger

What led a young Norwegian woman, who grew up with a deep love for the rugged and majetsic scenery of her native land, and was educated in its secular, post-Protestant culture, to become a Catholic?

Thanks to this book, it is possible to return to the state of 'first love', to experience once again the greatness and daring of the 'yes' of Catholicism, its vastness, its light, and the joy that strengthens us on the precarious path of faith, and keeps intact the intensity of that first love which alone can show us the way to the summit.

Frederick William Faber


A Great Servant of God
Melissa Wilkinson

A comprehensive picture of the life and spiritual development of the founder of the London Oratory. The accepted historical image of Frederick William Faber has often been that of a portly, ebullient, over-emotional individual, chiefly remembered as the founder of the London Oratory, for his disagreemants with John Henry Newman, and his prolific output of hymns (often triumphalist and occasionally sentimental). There is, however, a more profound side to Faber, which made him, in the opinion of one of his contemporaries, Henry Edward Manning, 'a great servant of God'.

Melissa Wilkinson shows that Faber inhabited a more fascinating, sophisticated, complex and multi-faceted world than has hitherto been realised.

From Ash to Fire

A Contemporary Journey through the Interior Castle of Teresa of Avila


Carolyn Humphreys

It is generally agreed that the Interior Castle is Teresa's most orderly and mature work on our prayer journey to God, a timeless classic in the spiritual field. This modern commentary is a testimony to its abiding value and its relevance to our day. The author writes in a very attractive and incisive style – reaching even literary eloquence. It is full of solid insight, keen intuition and wise counsels for the spiritual journey. Michael Buckley OCD

A Glimpse of Heaven
Catholic Churches of England and Wales


Christopher Martin
Photographs by Alex Ramsay. Foreword by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
Demonstrates with superb illustrations that many Victorian Catholic churches were masterpieces, that Catholics built churches and chapels of astonishing confidence even in the 18th century, and that in the 20th century Catholic church-builders grasped the architectural opportunities offered by the modern age with enthusiasm. The churches in this important book are fascinating not only for their architecture but for what they tell us about the politics, history and drama of their times. Brings together a too-often ignored, and sometimes threatened, part of the nation's heritage to a wider audience.

Gospel Chivalry
Franciscan Romanticism


Mark of Whitstable
At its zenith in the high Middle Ages, chivalry embodied the concept of the ideal life of a knight. However, this was an ideal rarely met, and the chivalric code promoting valour, courtesy, generosity and defense of the weak, was often sadly neglected. St.Francis consciously set out to redeem chivalry, or at least, to transform its significance, using its language in a new and revolutionary way for the Gospel life he has chosen.
