Aquinas and the Early Chinese Masters lays intellectual foundations for the integration of Chinese philosophy into Catholic theology. Although Catholic theology in Chinese contexts has drawn upon Chinese philosophical concepts, few have attempted to develop a rigorous, systematic approach to testing what in the Chinese philosophical traditions can be fruitful or unfruitful for Catholic theological expression. This book attempts to model such an approach by engaging classical Chinese philosophy with the mind and spirit of St. Thomas Aquinas, who read Aristotle and other pagan philosophers with both charitable appreciation and a firm, critical eye. It applies this Thomistic lens through concre...
Growing up is hard, but she's killing it! Wendy Lockheart has been known by many names—none of them her own. With each new school, she is assigned a new identity and a new foster family, but the same mission—kill whoever she is told to kill. Most agents in her network of female teen assassins begin training at age ten, but for Wendy it has encompassed her entire life. Abducted at birth, she was engulfed in a world of psychological manipulation, brainwashing, and physical training. At seventeen years old, Wendy is the most highly trained assassin in the agency. "Wendy Lockheart" is her twenty-fourth identity and one that won't be hers much longer, which is unfortunate. She finally found a...
Leaving New York City for a less demanding life style, Daniel More, a forensic psychiatrist, has settled in upstate New York. Starting over is not easy, as the tension between him and his wife, Nancy, fails to dissipate with the move. Unfortunately, the loving relationship between More and his daughter, Elizabeth, remains overshadowed by the tension in the marriage. Starting with a flat tire, the doctor becomes convinced he is being harassed.

Dr. More fights to prove his innocence against a background of further tragedy and pain, both motivated and burdened by the love for his daughter.
Spiraling into God: Bonaventure on Grace, Hierarchy, and Holiness offers a systematic account of the Seraphic Doctor’s doctrine of grace across his speculative-academic, mystical, hagiographical, and pastoral texts. It does so by arguing that an account of this kind can only be provided by also attending to his theology of hierarchy, a methodology derived from Bonaventure’s claim in the Major Legend of St. Francis that Francis of Assisi was a “vir hierarchicus,” or hierarchical man. As the book explores in great depth, this appellation relies upon Bonaventure’s reading of a Victorine Dionysian interpreter by the name of Thomas Gallus, whose “angelic anthropology”—or notion of...

It is one region, but separate worlds. And it was designed to be that way.
