Peter Abelard wrote his Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans in the mid-1130s, toward the end of his life, while teaching in Paris. Filled with questions on topics such as redemption, grace, and original sin, the commentary demonstrates the growing interest of urban scholars in applying dialectic to the study of Sacred Scripture. Abelard's analysis of some of these topics contributed to his second condemnation at the Council of Sens in 1140...

The Benedictine Beda Mayr, OSB (1742-1794) was one of the main figures of the German Catholic Enlightenment.

The text, translated from the German original for the first time, pres-ents a theologian, who intentionally went to the margins of orthodoxy in order to allow...

Pierre de Bérulle (1575-1629) is one of the foremost personalities of early modern Catholicism.

Until now, however, very little of Bérulle's writings have been available in English. This volume provides the first complete English translation of his best-known work, first print-ed in Paris...

Sometimes that means disagreeing with analytic proposals (e.g., possible worlds), and sometimes it means agreeing wit...

What is the Church? Some would answer this question by studying the Scriptures, the history of the Church, and contemporary theologians, thus addressing the theological nature of the Church. Others would answer based on statistics, interviews, and personal observation, thus focusing on the experience of the Church. These theological and experiential perspectives are in tension, or at times even opposed. Whereas the first might speak about the ...

This book is an introduction to three questions on love according to St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae I-II, qq. 26-28).

It is thus an introduction to the entire phenomenon of love, both as a bodily passion and an act of the will. The purpose is to present the Thomistic and broadly scholastic account of human and divine ...
