Open Catholicism
"Open Catholicism", a collection of essays honoring Father Gerard S. Sloyan, probes the most crucial concepts in the Catholic tradition: God, Jesus and the Gospel, Church, ethics, liturgy, religious education, Catholic-Muslim relations, and the notion of Catholicism itself. The book includes a brief "intellectual biography" by Father Sloyan, as well as a bibliography of his works.
