Spiritual Genius of St. Therese of Lisieux
What qualities make a provincial French nun who died at the age of twenty-four one of the world's most fascinating women and perhaps the best-loved Roman Catholic saint? In this eloquent appreciation, Jean Guitton captures the special essence of Thérèse of Lisieux in much the same way as a gifted photographer captures his subject. The result is an intimate portrait of the intellect, charm, and spiritual vision of the saint widely known as the 'Little Flower'. Ranking Thérèse as one of the 'Lights of the World', alongside Saints Paul, Augustine, Francis of Assisi, and Joan of Arc, Guitton examines her faith and its special relevance for the modern world. He illuminates seven salient theme...
Why I Am a Catholic
In this provocative work, which could not be timelier, Garry Wills, one of our country's most noted writers and historians, offers a powerful statement of his Catholic faith. Beginning with a reflection on his early experience of that faith as a child and later as a Jesuit seminarian, Wills reveals the importance of Catholicism in his own life. He goes on to challenge, in clear and forceful terms, the claim that criticism or reform of the papacy is an assault on the faith itself. For Wills, a Catholic can be both loyal and critical, a loving child who stays with his father even if the parent is wrong. Wills turns outward from his personal experiences to present a sweeping narrative covering ...
A History of Apologetics
Making the case for the Christian faith—apologetics—has always been part of the Church's mission. Yet Christians sometimes have had different approaches to defending the faith, responding to the needs of their respective times and framing their arguments to address the particular issues of their day. Cardinal Avery Dulles's A History of Apologetics provides a masterful overview of Christian apologetics, from its beginning in the New Testament through the Middle Ages and on to the present resurgence of apologetics among Catholics and Protestants. Dulles shows how Christian apologists have at times both criticized and drawn from their intellectual surroundings to present the reasonableness...

A Student's Guide to Intellectual Work
"Rival auto manufacturers boast of the low fuel- consumption records racked up by their machines. In its aim, Jean Guitton's work corresponds to that of the auto manufacturers: he, too, is concerned with "economy," but in his case it is that intellectual economy achievable through streamlined methods of thinking, reading, and writing. At one time or other, all people engaged in intellectual pursuits are confronted by the proper way to do a thing. Students especially, who have not yet learned their own capacities, are easily baffled and frustrated when a teacher asks them to re-do a paper, for example. "How" is the question. And even seasoned thinkers often discover that the process of working which they have evolved from trial and error does hot meet every new need. It is this gap in understanding how to think, how to study, how to write, etc., that the present work strives to fill. M. Guitton writes in a refreshing, informal style that cloaks (but does not hide) the insights with which a lifetime of teaching, acute powers of observation, and a profound sympathy for the problems of students have armed him."--Back cover
