Deifying Vision
The anagogical sense of Scripture is that which identifies the ways in which the church’s participation in its heavenly existence is expressed and taught. Anagogical interpretation highlights the eschatological tension between the “now and not yet” of the experience of redemption but gives this tension an unapologetic priority over the way it is too often relegated to the backroom of “last things.” The book introduces and explores the anagogical imagination as the capacity to live in this tension while appropriating more consciously the fullness of one’s ascended identity in Christ.
Ursprung
If brain-storming is an exercise in mental imagination, Ursprung is an example of soul-storming. Unlike brainstorming, the aphorisms that comprise Ursprung arise from a Source (Ursprung) more ‘beyond and above’ the ideas that brainstorming produces. This book is a collection of such inspirations, originally unconnected but gradually formed into sections and chapters which I hope exhibit a natural, organic affinity. I wrote Ursprung more as an act of obedience than originality. This book offers a vision of deification, springing from contemplative prayer, that I believe both the church and the world need. The reader can be the judge.
Monk's Tale
In Monk’s Tale: Way Stations on the Journey, Father Malloy carries forward the story of his professional life from when he joined the Notre Dame faculty in 1974 to his election as president of Notre Dame. His journey in this volume begins with the various administrative responsibilities he undertook on the seminary staff and in the theology department during his early years as an administrator and teacher, and continues through his tenure as vice-president and associate provost, up to the process that led to his selection as Notre Dame’s sixteenth president. He reveals his day-to-day responsibilities and the challenges they presented as well as the ways in which his domestic and internat...
Climbing the Mountain of God, The Path to Mystical Discipleship
Climbing the Mountain of God presents a fresh look into the nature of spirituality, mysticism and discipleship. By examining the contemporary thirst for true spirituality in the light of ancient tradition, today's faithful come to understand the nature of God's holiness, and their participation in a journey towards Him.
Apokalypteria
This is the last in a trilogy of aphoristic reflections on the mystery of Presence. Unlike my previous two books on this subject, Apokalypteria seeks to bridge the gap between those who are drawn to the mystery of Presence but have no hard and fast religious beliefs, and those devout and religious believers who view ‘Presence’ as a poor substitute when speaking about things sacred, holy and divine. We are currently witnessing the great deconstruction of institutionalized Christianity. This is as fortunate as it is inevitable. Christianity, as genuine, kerygmatic Evangel, defies definition. Christianity is the dissolution of every form of status quo, giving rise to a communion of persons knowing themselves to be in the world but not of the world for the life of the world. This book is a babbling collection of effusive aphorisms spoken in an eschatological key offered in the hope that atheists, agnostics and believers alike may perceive their essential unity in the Mystery of Christ who is present in the Mystery of Presence. In the end, it is all a single Mystery - the triune Mystery of God.
Biology and Ecology of Antarctic Krill
This book gives a unique insight into the current knowledge of krill population dynamics including distribution, biomass, production, recruitment, growth and mortality rates. Detailed analysis is provided on food and feeding, reproduction and krill behaviour. The volume provides an overview on the aspects of natural challenges to the species, which involve predation, parasites and the commercial exploitation of the resource and its management. A chapter on genetics shows the results of population subdivision and summarizes recent work on sequencing transcriptomes for studying gene function as part of the physiology of live krill. The focus of Chapter 4 is on physiological functions such as biochemical composition, metabolic activity and growth change with ontogeny and season; and will demonstrate which environmental factors are the main drivers for variability. Further discussed in this chapter are the bottle necks which occur in the annual life cycle of krill, and the mechanisms krill have adapted to cope with severe environmental condition.

Le Point Vierge
‘At the Center of our being is a point of pure truth, ‘ wrote Thomas Merton, ‘ a point or spark which belongs entirely to God...This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us.’ Merton called this Center Point, Le Point Vierge the Virginal Point. Here, we and God are untied in a Mystery of inexpressible Presence. LE POINT VIERGE: Meditations on the Mystery of Presence is a year of daily meditations exploring the Mystery of Presence as we experience It in the Virginal Point in our hearts. Practicing Presence is a sure and certain way to make fresh contact with God. God is not an Object of our understanding but a Mystery of Presence encountered in the Virginal Point of our hearts. It is hoped that by reading LE POINT VIERGE, the reader will discover the truth of St. Augustine’s words: ‘You, O God, were more inward to me than my most inward parts and higher than my highest’ (Confessions 3.6.11).
