François-Xavier Durrwell
Le présent ouvrage recueille un florilège de témoignages et de réflexions en hommage à l'homme et à son oeuvre. François-Xavier Durrwell reste insuffisamment connu alors qu'il a puissamment contribué à renouveler toute notre intelligence chrétienne du mystère divin. Son humilité, sa belle et profonde spiritualité, sa méfiance contre toute pensée systématique non personnaliste expliquent en partie la discrétion de son oeuvre. Encore jeune homme, il a redécouvert toute la puissance de la pâque du Christ comme mystère de Salut. Toute sa vie, il va développer cette conviction que le salut de notre humanité n'est autre que la Pâque même de Jésus, mystère unique et inséparable de mort et de résurrection. Cette ligne de crête ne le quittera plus. La véritable nature de Dieu est d'être engendrement, amour. Les conséquences pratiques de cette vision centrale sont immenses et belles pour toute vie humaine. La pensée de François-Xavier Durrwell a une postérité infinie, elle est notre héritage en offrande pour notre vie spirituelle et notre humanité.
Teresa of Avila, the Holy Spirit, and the Place of Salvation
An exploration of the role of the third Person of the Trinity in the works of Teresa of Avila, and its influence on pneumatology, the theological study of the Holy Spirit.
Catholic Dogmatic Theology: a Synthesis
Every discipline, including theology, requires a synthetic overview of its acquisitions and open questions, a kind of "topography" to guide the new student and refresh the gaze of specialists. In his Synthèse dogmatique, Fr. Jean-Hervé Nicolas, OP (1910-2001) presents just such a map of Thomistic theology, focusing on the central topics of Dogmatic Theology: The One and Triune God, Christology, Mariology, Ecclesiology, the Sacraments, and the Last Things. Drawing on decades of research and teaching, Fr. Nicolas synthetically presents these topics from a faithfully Thomistic perspective. While broadly and genially engaging the theological literature of the 20th century, he nonetheless remai...
Worthy Is the Lamb
In this exciting book Thomas Nash refutes the common charge that the Mass is "unbiblical" in a resoundingly biblical fashion. From the Garden of Eden to Christ's Ascension, the biblical roots of the Mass go much deeper than the Last Supper and Christ's Passion. Old Testament sacrifices like Abel's, Abraham's and the Passover all prefigure and are fulfilled by Christ's Sacrifice, which is made present in the Sacrifice of the Mass. What began on the Cross culminated in everlasting glory when Jesus entered "once for all" into the heavenly holy of holies, as the Letter to the Hebrews provides. In a time when the Catholic Church is under attack from within and without, Worthy is the Lamb reminds ...

Pneumatology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium
The Holy Spirit who worked on the first Christian Pentecost continues to work in the church and the world today. This being so, the field of pneumatology--the theology of the Holy Spirit--should pique the interest of both the "average" Christian and the academic theologian, perhaps more than it has in recent times. This collection of chapters brings pneumatology into conversation with a wide variety of disciplines, including scripture, patristic and medieval theology, and history. The result is a scholarly monograph that enriches both pneumatology and the fields with which each contributor engages. Furthermore, with its attention on the work of the Spirit in the sacraments and the life of the church, Pneumatology at the Beginning of the Third Millennium will help pastors and catechists in their ministries to understand more deeply the riches of the theology of the Third Person of the Trinity.
My Body Given for You
The Eucharist goes back to the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. It is based on the prayer of thanksgiving that Jesus pronounced over the bread and wine at that meal. "Eucharist" means thanksgiving, praise and blessing. The Church celebrates the Eucharist as a memorial of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The memorial of the Eucharist is more than a remembrance of the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. In the Eucharist the sacrifice of our redemption becomes present sacramentally. In the past, dogmatic theology has treated the meaning of the Eucharist while disregarding the form of its liturgical celebration, whereas liturgical studies have been content with the latter...
Vatican II on Mary: The Case for the definition of the Spiritual Motherhood of Mary
The purpose of this study is to show that the formal definition of the spiritual Motherhood of Mary would constitute a doctrinal development from Vatican II's teaching on Mary. It is my strong view that Mary's spiritual motherhood should be explicitly acknowledged, accepted and stamped with the extra-ordinary infallibility of the Church magisterium so that it would become a dogma of the Church, as the sensus fidelium. Such formal definition would give the doctrine the seal of juridical authenticity and prevent it from denigration and rejection in future. This study argues that the Catholic Church needs to advance forwards from the Marian teaching of Vatican II by making concerted efforts to ...
