Le secret
"Qu'est-ce que le secret? Peut-on vivre sans secret? Peut-on échapper aux dictats de la transparence et de la communication? L'ouvrage présente une réflexion interdisciplinaire sur le thème du secret afin de l'appréhender sous ses différentes facettes et en saisir les ambiguïtés et les paradoxes. Car si le secret préserve l'intime et résiste à la contamination du malheur, il alloue aussi un pouvoir considérable à celui qui le détient. Si il aiguise le désir et stimule l'imaginaire, il peut aussi se faire le grand partenaire du mensonge et de la manipulation. Si le secret suppose une ignorance qu'il cultive, il n'est secret que parce qu'il est connu comme secret. La valeur du secret tiendrait donc tout autant à sa capacité à maintenir une ignorance, qu'à cultiver la connaissance de celle-ci ; le secret se tenant toujours à l'interstice de la dissimulation et de la révélation"--Page 4 of cover.

Woman, Women, and the Priesthood in the Trinitarian Theology of Elisabeth Behr-Sigel
Elisabeth Behr-Sigel (1907-2005), a convert to Orthodoxy in her early twenties and a central figure of Orthodox theology among Russian émigrés in Paris, first began to reflect on the question of women in the priesthood in 1976. Initially supporting the general consensus that priesthood would be impossible for the Orthodox, she came to retract this view, finding a basis for female ordination in women's distinct spiritual charisms. Behr-Sigel later shifted the foundation of her case to personhood, inspired by the work of fellow Orthodox theologian Vladimir Lossky, and arrived at the conclusion that all the Orthodox arguments against the ordination of women were, in fact, heretical at root. In this volume, Wilson analyzes all of Behr-Sigel's writings about women and the priesthood across the whole sweep of her career, demonstrating the development of her thought on women over the last thirty years of her life. She evaluates her relationship to feminism, Protestantism and movements within Orthodoxy, finally drawing conclusions about this much-contested matter for the ongoing debate in both the East and the West.

Catholic Economics
Inequality, unemployment, degradation of our environment: these and other practical economic problems reflect faulty economic theories. We have been led astray by ideas that made some sense in the past but are unsuited to our times and by ideas that are fundamentally mistaken. The Catholic Church has an extensive body of teachings on economic and social matters, too little known even among Catholics, which offers practical alternatives to the economics of the jungle. This book provides clear explanations of major errors in conventional economic thinking and shows how the church's teachings can point us in a better direction.
