Download or read book A Deeper Vision written by Robert Royal and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging and ambitious volume, Robert Royal, a prominent participant for many years in debates about religion and contemporary life, offers a comprehensive and balanced appraisal of the Catholic intellectual tradition in the twentieth century. The Catholic Church values both Faith and Reason, and Catholicism has given rise to extraordinary ideas and whole schools of remarkable thought, not just in the distant past but throughout the troubled decades of the twentieth century. Royal presents in a single volume a sweeping but readable account of how Catholic thinking developed in philosophy, theology, Scripture studies, culture, literature, and much more in the twentieth century. This involves great figures, recognized as such both inside and outside the Church, such as Jacques Maritain, Bernard Lonergan, Joseph Pieper, Edith Stein, Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, Romano Guardini, Karl Rahner, Henri du Lubac, Karol Wojtyla, Joseph Ratzinger, Hans Urs von Balthasar,Charles Peguy, Paul Claudel, George Bernanos, Francois Mauriac, G. K. Chesterton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Christopher Dawson, Graham Greene, Sigrid Undset, J. R. R. Tolkien, Czeslaw Milosz, and many more. Royal argues that without rigorous thought, Catholicism - however welcoming and nourishing it might be - would become something like a doctor with a good bedside manner, but who knows little medicine. It has always been the aspiration of the Catholic tradition to unite emotion and intellect, action and contemplation. But unless we know what the tradition has already produced - especially in the work of the great figures of the recent past - we will not be able to answer the challenges that the modern world poses, or even properly recognize the true questions we face. This is a reflective, non-polemical work that brings together various strands of Catholic thought in the twentieth century. A comprehensive guide to the recent past - and the future.
Download or read book In the L gos of Love written by James Heft and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So much has changed about Catholic intellectual life in the half century since the end of the Second Vatican Council that it has become difficult to locate the core concepts that make up the tradition. In the L gos of Love is a collection of essays that grew out of a 2013 conference on Catholic intellectual life co-sponsored by the University of Dayton and the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California. The essays, written by scholars of theology, history, law, and media studies of religion, trace the history of this intellectual tradition in order to craft new tools for understanding the present day and approaching the future. Each essay explores both the promise of Catholic intellectual life and its various contemporary predicaments. How does a changed media landscape affect the way Catholicism is depicted, and the way its adherents understand and communicate among themselves? What resources can the tradition offer for reflection on new understandings of sexuality and gender? How can and should US Catholic intellectual life embrace and enhance-and introduce students to-the new ways in which Catholicism is becoming a more global tradition? What is the role of scholars in disciplines beyond theology? Of scholars who are not Catholic? Of scholars in universities not sponsored by Catholic religious orders or dioceses? By providing context for and proposing responses to these questions, the scholars invite discussion and reflection from a wide range of readers who have one important thing in common-a stake in sustaining a vibrant, flourishing intellectual tradition.
Download or read book The Challenge of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition written by Jean Ehret and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT)? What can be its beneficial impact on life in all its aspects, on education, and on research at the beginning of the 21st century? In this collection, contributions written by scholars from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America show that the CIT is by no means a traditionalist reaction to a secular globalized world. Addressing contemporary issues - economical, social, managerial, educational, religious, philosophical, and theological - at a local or global level, they also draw on the Judeo-Christian heritage as it has been and is still preserved, transmitted, and developed in the Catholic Church. They show that the CIT is a powerful creative imagination that is able to make a life-fostering difference in today's world. (Series: Glaube und Ethos - Vol. 10)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book makes a very ambitious proposal. The proposal is that Catholic social thought can contribute significantly to revivifying the American experiment in liberal democracy. That there is a need, and urgent need, for such a revival is today widely recognized by thinkers across the political and philosophical spectrum. Some of the essays here are polemical and others apologetic, but the book taken all in all is a proposal. As such, it must make its case sometimes in conversation with and sometimes against other proposals that are advanced in the public square of democratic discourse." [Foreword].
Download or read book The Challenge of God written by Colby Dickinson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the double vocative that characterizes the relation of Creator to creature, this book offers critiques of modern and postmodern philosophy for the ways in which they have separated philosophy, theology, and spirituality. This collection examines the complicated relationship of God to Being and the meaning of Revelation, as well as highlighting the context and the role of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Discussions include the Catholic Principle and its relevance in contemporary times, and Christian epic visionaries such as Dante, Milton, Blake, and Joyce, providing scholars a forum to debate their theological identity and its meaning for future studies. This volume contributes a unique engagement from many perspectives with the Catholic intellectual tradition in its philosophical, theological, spiritual, literary, and artistic dimensions.

Download or read book Conversations with the Pope written by Simon Ioannou and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations with the Pope is an attempt to present, within an entertaining literary framework, a strong and persuasive body of historical facts and religious arguments all supportive of a change by the Catholic Church in its attitude toward the concept of reincarnation. An Australian journalist specializing in religious affairs, Albert Magnusson, has been awarded the biennial Journalist-in-Residence opportunity to visit the Vatican and talk openly with the pope for a period of six weeks. His first-hand account of his conversations with the Pontiff forms the framework for the presentation of the arguments, and his request to the pope that the church should make a renewed examination of the facts. Obviously, any decision by the Roman Catholic Church to adopt reincarnationist elements, which do not conflict with Christian dogma, would be a revolutionary and pivotal development in the history of Christianity. However, going beyond the attempt at reconciling the two religious viewpoints, the book also sets out a chilling account of contemporary Vatican Curial politics. It looks at the attempts by conservatives in the Curia to avoid the serious religious changes, which would result to the ordination of women and changes to power within the hierarchy, were Catholicism and reincarnationism to be reconciled. The portrait is drawn of a contemporary conservative papacy attempting to turn back the liberalizing reforms instigated by the Second Vatican Council of 1962–1965.

Download or read book Down the Nights and Down the Days written by Edward L. Shaughnessy and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2000-06-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest book from veteran O’Neillian Edward L. Shaughnessy examines the influence of the Irish playwright’s Catholic heritage on his moral imagination. Critics, due to O'Neill's early renunciation of faith at age 15, have mostly overlooked this presence in his work. While Shaughnessy makes no attempt to reclaim him for Catholicism, he uncovers evidence that O'Neill retained the imprint of his Irish Catholic upbringing and acculturation in his work. Shaughnessy discusses several key plays from the O’Neill cannon, such as Long Day’s Journey into Night, The Iceman Cometh, and Mourning Becomes Electra, as well as the lesser-known Ile and Days Without End. Winner of the Irish in America Manuscript competition, Down the Days and Down the Nights: Eugene O’Neill’s Catholic Sensibility is a compelling investigation into the psyche of one of the most brilliant, internationally honored playwrights of our time.
