Wisdom and Holiness, Science and Scholarship
In his Foreword to this Festschrift presented to Father Matthew L. Lamb on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, Archbishop Charles Chaput comments, It is a privilege to call him my friend, and to wish on the bishops of the century ahead the good counsel of men like Father Lamb. Eminent contributors, among whom are long-time friends, colleagues, and students of Father Lamb, offer fascinating scholarly treatments of a variety of themes, from The Idea of a University to The Coming Middle Ages.
Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology
For more than fifty years, Fr. Matthew L. Lamb has been one of the major figures in American Catholic theology through his writing, teaching, and involvement in scholarly societies. Over a decade ago, Fr. Lamb moved from the Department of Theology at Boston College to develop the graduate programs in theology at Ave Maria University in response to what he identified as the widespread decline in theological education. Twelve years into their operation, the graduate programs in theology have begun to produce junior scholars who have attained appointments in universities and seminaries across the United States. In Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology, Thomas P. Harmon and Roger W. Nutt have brought together some of this first generation of Ave Maria graduates to produce a collection of essays to honor their teacher and the architect of their theological education.
Vatican II
From 1962 to 1965, in perhaps the most important religious event of the twentieth century, the Second Vatican Council met to plot a course for the future of the Roman Catholic Church. After thousands of speeches, resolutions, and votes, the Council issued sixteen official documents on topics ranging from divine revelation to relations with non-Christians. In many ways, though, the real challenges began after the council was over and Catholics began to argue over the interpretation of the documents. Many analysts perceived the Council's far-reaching changes as breaks with Church tradition, and soon this became the dominant bias in the American and other media, which lacked the theological bac...

The Reception of Vatican II
From 1962 to 1965, in perhaps the most important religious event of the twentieth century, the Second Vatican Council met to plot a course for the future of the Roman Catholic Church. After thousands of speeches, resolutions, and votes, the Council issued sixteen official documents on topics ranging from divine revelation to relations with non-Christians. But the meaning of the Second Vatican Council has been fiercely contested since before it was even over, and the years since its completion have seen a battle for the soul of the Church waged through the interpretation of Council documents. The Reception of Vatican II looks at the sixteen conciliar documents through the lens of those battle...
Eternity, Time, and the Life of Wisdom
These seven substantial essays treat of various aspects of the need for conflict resolution between several aspects of modern thought and the Catholic Tradition. Rather than engage in the type of libido dominandi that he correctly sees present in one degree or another in the movement of thought which finally resulted in modernism and its heirs, Matthew Lamb proceeds dialectically. Under the guidance of Bernard Lonergan's intellectual corpus, Lamb re-penetrates ancient thought and engages modern thought in a manner which exposes the weaknesses of the latter while respecting its intellectual advances. This is an important contribution in our efforts to receive Vatican II correctly. -- Fr. Francis Martin, Cardinal Adam Maida Chair in Biblical Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary.

Ressourcement Thomism
