Karl Adam
The book spans the century from Vatican I to Vatican II. Krieg begins by describing Adam's work against the backdrop of German Catholics' struggle to enter the cultural mainstream. He then analyzes Adam's major writings in the context of the Weimar Republic and the theological fermentation between the wars. Adam's confrontation with Nazism and his impact upon ecumenism and christology after the Second World War are also discussed.
The Spirit of Catholicism
The Spirit of Catholicism is a classic work on the Catholic Faith by Prof. Dr. Karl Adam of Tübingen University in Germany. It delves into the origins of the Church, its beliefs, history, constitution, doctrine and sacraments. Titled in German Das Wesen des Katholismus (The Essence of Catholicism) it was originally published in 1924 but is still recognized to this day as perhaps the best explanation of Catholicism available to the average man. Dr. Adam does not hesitate to tackle the difficult questions of Catholic belief, such as "no salvation outside the Church" and explains what it means to the non-Catholic Christian of good will who loves God but has not yet recognized his Mother Church, the Catholic Church the mother of Christianity. Recognized as perhaps the greatest theologian of the Twentieth-Century, Prof. Adam's belief and deep seated good will toward all Christians is evident in all of his writings. Anyone who wishes to deepen their faith will do well to read this timeless epic. The edition has been edited for readable paragraphs and includes a subject Index for students and researchers.
One and Holy
This is the first work published since the war by the author of The Spirit of Catholicism. It is, in effect, a discussion of the possibility of reunion between Catholics and Protestants, but it begins unusually but sensibly—in a historical examination of how the breach came about in the first place. He finds a large part of the cause in the open scandals afflicting the Church, dimming the mark of Holiness. The unity of Christendom was lost through the action of men who thought Holiness had been lost. There follows an examination of the major Reformation doctrines—as they were in Luther and as with the passage of time they became in his successors—to show just what of Catholicism is in them and how easily they might he brought to absorb more. Karl Adam's conclusion is not optimistic, but on reflection not hopeless either.
Aristotle, Adam Smith and Karl Marx
. . . a very valuable introduction to Aristotle s economics. History of Economic Ideas Spencer Pack is completely at home with the difficult works of Aristotle, Adam Smith and Karl Marx. To walk with him through their writings is to discover that they are surprisingly helpful in understanding the modern world of computers, credit crunches, religious differences, international conflicts, and unemployment due to oversaving in China and undersaving in America. One is left after reading them with growing admiration for the giants of past intellectual history. This is only one lesson that Pack teaches in this illuminating book.

Roots of the Reformation
Most Christians understand the Reformation from only one perspective. Professor Karl Adam gives a historically sensitive and accurate analysis of the causes of the Reformation that stands as a valid and sometimes unsettling challenge to the presuppositions of Protestants and Catholics alike. This valuable resource is a powerful summary of the issues that led to the Reformation and their implications today.
A World to Win
Karl Marx has fascinated and inspired generations of radicals in the past 200 years. In this new, definitive biography, Sven-Eric Liebman makes his work live once more for a new generation. Despite 200 years having passed since his birth, his burning condemnation of capitalism remains of immediate interest. Now, more than ever before, Marx's texts can be read for what they truly are. In addition to providing a living picture of Marx the man, his life, and his family and friends - as well as his lifelong collaboration with Friedrich Engels - Sweden's leading intellectual historian Sven-Eric Liedman, in this major new biography, shows what Karl Marx the thinker and researcher really wrote, demonstrating that this giant of the nineteenth century can still exert a powerful attraction for the inhabitants of the twenty-first.
Saving the Original Sinner
A scientist and former evangelical argues that holding onto a belief in a literal, historical Adam has forced many Christians to reject science and become intellectually isolated from the modern world. The Bible’s first man stands at the center of a crisis that is shaking much of Christianity. In the evangelical world, scholars have been ostracized and banished from their academic communities for endorsing a modern scientific understanding of the world, even as they remained strong Christians. Self-appointed gatekeepers of traditional theology demand intellectual allegiance to an implausible interpretation of the Genesis creation story, insisting that all humanity must be descended from a ...
Christ and Adam
In this essay, Barth discusses the relationship between Christ and Adam as understood by Paul. Moving beyond traditional exegetical and theological scholarship done on Romans 5, Barth offers an entirely new interpretation of the conception of humanity presented in Paul's view of the Christ-Adam relationship. A valid contribution to the interpretation of Romans 5, 'Christ and Adam' is also an example of Barth's exegetical method and provides insight into his broader theological project.
From Enemy to Brother
In 1965 the Second Vatican Council declared that God loves the Jews. Before that, the Church had taught for centuries that Jews were cursed by God and, in the 1940s, mostly kept silent as Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis. How did an institution whose wisdom is said to be unchanging undertake one of the most enormous, yet undiscussed, ideological swings in modern history? The radical shift of Vatican II grew out of a buried history, a theological struggle in Central Europe in the years just before the Holocaust, when a small group of Catholic converts (especially former Jew Johannes Oesterreicher and former Protestant Karl Thieme) fought to keep Nazi racism from entering their newfound chur...
