Divine Scripture and Human Emotion in Maximus the Confessor
In Exegesis of the Human Heart Andrew J. Summerson explores Maximus the Confessor's use of biblical interpretation to develop an adequate account of Christian human emotion.
By Strange Ways
The only work that exclusively features the conversion stories of theologians, this book provides a unique vantage point on the intellectual challenges faced by those being drawn to the Catholic Church. The men and women featured here come from a variety of backgrounds: Agnosticism, Secularism, New Age thought, punk rock, and various stripes of Christianity. Their theological vocation had specially prompted them to question their own intellectual presuppositions once they encountered Catholicism, which only gained in credibility the more they studied it. Although it was the theological truth of the Catholic faith that initially captured the attention of these theologians, each of these essays tells a fully human story. They are not collections of arguments, but stories of grace. Among the ten converts are Scott Hahn, Lawrence Feingold, Melanie Barrett, Petroc Willey, and Jeff Morrow. Each story offers a fresh glimpse at God's work in the world.
Maximus the Confessor and the Latin West
In 1941, when Hans Urs von Balthasar published his monograph on Maximus’s Cosmic Liturgy, few theologians in the West had more than a passing familiarity with the thought of Maximus the Confessor (580-662). Nearly a century later, scholarship on Maximus is thriving, with new monographs and articles being published every year. If you believed that Maximus’ thought was only relevant for the understanding of Eastern Christian theology, this volume will show that, in fact, Maximus’ vision had a major impact on the whole arc of Western thought, from the Latin Middle Ages to the present. Far from a marginal, late-antique thinker, Maximus is key figure in the development of Christian theology, straddling the divide between East and West.

Eastern Catholic Theology in Action
The Second Vatican Council urged Eastern Catholics to cultivate their share of divine revelation for the benefit of the entire Catholic Church. Yet, more than 50 years later, the Eastern Catholic Churches frequently remain on the margins, both in the theological academy and in the life of the Church more broadly. In an effort to remedy this situation, at least in part, this volume offers a scholarly reflection on the unique patrimony of the Eastern Catholic Churches, divided according to the categories of Liturgy, Theology, Spirituality, Discipline, and Culture. In so doing, it both follows the categories used to define a Church sui iuris in the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches, an...
Tracing Footsteps
William Frazer, a descendant of the Scottish Highland Clan Fraser of Lovat, came to America in the 1720s, settling in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The “Frasers,” now known as “Frazers” continued their steadfast spirit in these new lands of America. The many lives of the Frazers in this writing descended from this one man and his wife Frances. Join us as we trace their footsteps through eight generations and numerous historical events.
