Source of Wisdom
As one of the most prolific and influential scholars in the field, Thomas D. Hill has made an indelible mark on the study of Old English literature. In celebration of his distinguished career, the editors of Source of Wisdom have assembled a wide-ranging collection of nineteen original essays on Old English poetry and prose as well as early medieval Latin, touching upon many of Hill's specific research interests. Among the topics examined in this volume are the Christian-Latin sources of Old English texts, including religious and 'sapiential' poetry, and prose translations of Latin writings. Old English poems such as Beowulf, The Dream of the Rood, and The Wife's Lament are treated, throughout, to thematic, textual, stylistic, lexical, and source analysis. Prose writers of the period such as King Alfred and Wærferth, as well as medieval Latin writers such as Bede and Pseudo-Methodius are also discussed. As an added feature, the volume includes a bibliography of publications by Thomas D. Hill. Source of Wisdom is, ultimately, a contribution to the understanding of medieval English literature and the textual traditions that contributed to its development.

Karl Barth, Catholic Renewal and Vatican II
From the 1920s on, Karl Barth's thought was received with great interest not only by Protestants but also by Catholic theologians, who analyzed it in detail. This study outlines how and why this happened, especially in the period leading up to Vatican II. Dahlke shows how preoccupation with Barth's Epistle to the Romans and Church Dogmatics triggered a theological renewal among Catholic theologians. In addition to Hans Urs von Balthasar's critical appropriation of Barth's thought, the controversy surrounding the issue of analogia entis with Erich Przywara is also dealt with.
Literacka manifestacja tożsamości
Niniejsze opracowanie stanowi próbę charakterystyki spuścizny piśmienniczej niemieckojęzycznych duchownych w I połowie XX wieku na tle różnych kontekstów – zarówno literackich, jak i pozaliterackich. Model narracji tożsamościowej ukazuje analizowaną twórczość między innymi poprzez charakterystykę głównych wątków tematycznych z uwzględnieniem ówcześnie panującej cenzury kościelnej oraz poprzez ukształtowanie warstwy słowno-stylistycznej poszczególnych utworów. Poglądy na literaturę odwołującą się do tradycji chrześcijańskiej nawiązują nadal jeszcze do stereotypu, według którego jest ona słaba artystycznie, przesiąknięta ideologią i natrętnie moralizatorska. Brak właściwych metod interpretacyjnych w tym zakresie i niemałe trudności w obcowaniu z utworami zakorzenionymi w przestrzeni religijnej skłaniają do postawienia pytania o wyznaczniki literackiej manifestacji tożsamości. Spojrzenie na przywołaną w monografii twórczość inaczej niż poprzez pryzmat konkurencji wobec tak zwanego humanizmu laickiego czy standardy literatury ewangelizacyjnej znacznie podniesie jej wiarygodność.
