Enter what G.K. Chesterton called "the glorious fairyland of George MacDonald"! This delightful collection of classic stories will introduce the reader to the "forgotten father of fantasy fiction." According to C.S. Lewis, there is "hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continuously close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself, " and MacDonald deeply influenced the Christian fantasy writers who followed him, including J.R.R. Tolkie...

Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years.

Analyzing the philosophical foundations of the four reigning secular ideologies of our day--utilitarianism, classical liberalism/ libertarianism, progressivism/wokeism, and non-theistic conservatism--[the author] shows how Catholic teaching, while respecting the genuine concerns of these worldviews, responds to their errors and deficiencies by providing a more rational and moral alternative"--Flap page 1 of dust jacket.

The Mystical Body of Christ captures the theological precision and communicative genius of Fulton J. Sheen (18951979), whose radio and television broadcasts, including Life Is Worth Living, have reached millions of homes since the 1950s. With more than thirty of his works still in print, Sheen is one of the most beloved Catholic evangelists of all time.

The culture of contempt--the lust to wound perceived opponents who are seen not just as wrong but as evil--has become global in scope. Fed by the rise of "cheap speech" in media, seismic shifts in digital technology, and a boom industry based on selling outrage, people are increasingly unable to understand, much less dialogue with, their ideological rivals. The Catholic Church understands itself as the evangelizer of culture, yet this culture ...

A recent Pew Forum survey revealed the startling statistic that 69% of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. For the majority of Catholics today, the Eucharist is merely a symbol of Christ, and the Mass is merely a collectivity of like-minded individuals gathering to remember his life. This indicates a spiritual disaster, for the Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." In response to this...

The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed" (Gen. 2:8). From the very beginning of Scripture, key moments in God's plan of salvation have played out in gardens, from the Garden of Eden to the Garden of the Resurrection. In The Gardens of God, Cardinal Arthur Roche reflects on these gardens as images of the spiritual life. The sorrow of Gethsemane, the joy of the empty tomb, the intimacy of t...

Volume IV: Contemporary Philosophers surveys the great philosophers of the last two hundred years and observes the splintering of philosophy into a wide array of philosophical enterprises. Some, unhinged from the past, rebel against the very endeavor of philosophy, but others, seeking to revitalize ancient conversations, return to and renew the deepest questions of meaning, happiness, and the human person.

Volume II: Medieval Philosophers studies the transformation of philosophy that came about due to an unprecedented figure--Jesus Christ--and considers the philosophers of the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they sought to marry the Greek philosophical tradition with divine revelation.

Volume III: Modern Philosophers explores a philosophical world caught up in the spirit of the Enlightenment--a time of both scientific discovery and social upheaval--and examines the philosophers who sought above all to answer the great questions of epistemology and politics: What is knowledge? How can we be certain? What is society? What is its greatest good?

Volume I: Ancient Philosophers investigates the foundations of philosophy laid by the ancient sages, Greeks, and Romans and introduces the philosophers who asked the first great philosophical questions--about good and evil, truth and falsehood, wisdom, beauty, and love, and the self, the world, and God"--

There is a fresh candor and a new ease of utterance in this fifth volume of poems by the Dominican writer Paul Murray. What most immediately impresses, in lyric after lyric, are the moments of quiet epiphany. But such moments of vision have not been easily achieved. Throughout the work, rather than avoid the "torn" and wounded areas of our lives, a range of feelings and experiences--unnamed, invading, threatening, desired--are courageously exp...

In recent years, "apologetics" has gotten a bad rap, being falsely conflated with "arguing about religion, " in the worst sense of the phrase. But for Christians, apologetics, or giving a reasoned explanation or defense of the faith, is a necessity and duty. In fact, the cultural moment in which we find ourselves today demands, possibly more than any other time in history, a New Apologetics--a potent and spirited renewal of apologetics suited ...
