Cur Deus Verba Why the Word Became Words Jeremy Holmes
Cur Deus Verba is a work of theology
in the narrow sense: a reflection that takes God as its subject and everything else
in relation to God. It treats every aspect of Scripture, including the human elements,
to be understood in relation to God. And, as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said, “The
debate about modern exegesis is, at heart, not a debate among historians, but a philosophical
debate.” Cur Deus Verba relies on the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, which Ratzinger
described as “an open philosophy, which is
able to accept the biblical phenomenon in all its radicalism.”

Fire of Mercy Vol.IV Heart of the World Meditations on the Gospel According to St.
Matthew Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
To the unstudied eye, St. Matthew's gospel can seem
a terse narrative, almost a historical document and not the tremendously spiritual
(and doctrinal) storehouse
that it is. In his fourth and final volume of meditations on Matthew (chapters 26-28),
Erasmo Leiva continues to show Matthew's prose to be not terse so much as economical
- astoundingly so given its depth. The lay reader can derive great profit from reading
this. Each short meditation comments on a verse or two, pointing to some facet of
the text not immediately apparent, but rich with meaning.

How to Destroy Western Civilization And Other Ideas from the Cultural Abyss Peter
Kreeft
Presents a series of brilliant essays about many of the issues that increasingly
divide our Western civilization and culture. He states that “these essays are not
new proposals or solutions to today’s problems. They are old. They have been tried,
and
have worked. They have made people happy and good. That is what makes them so radical
and so unusual today. The most uncommon thing today is common sense.”

The Seven Gifts of The Spirit of the Liturgy Centennial Perspectives on Romano Guardini’s
Landmark Work Edited by Christopher Carstens
In his remarkable book, which Pope Benedict
XVI claims began the liturgical movement in Germany, Guardini lays out seven core
principles of the liturgical spirit, principles that the Second Vatican Council saw
as integral to authentic liturgical reform. In this work, eight experts on the liturgy
recall Guardini’s spiritual insights, explaining how these can deepen our liturgical
understanding and practice today. The contributors are Bishop
Arthur Serratelli, Fr. Cassian Folsom, O.S.B., Dr. Michon Matthiesen, David Fagerberg,
Fr. Daniel Cardó, Bishop James Conley, Fr. Emery de Gaál, and Susan Benofy. Guardini’s
core liturgical principles—the objective, corporate, universal, symbolic, meaningful,
beautiful, serious, and logical - inspired the renewal desired at the Second Vatican
Council.

True Friendship Where Virtue Becomes Happiness John Cuddeback, Ph.D.
Beginning with
the deep connection between virtuous living and human happiness, Cuddeback locates
true friendship at the center of the human drama. Aristotle’s classic
division of friendship into three basic kinds sets the foundation for an examination
of the virtuous friendships in which human persons most come to life. The remarkable
nature
of this friendship shows both why it demands so much of us and offers so much to
us, as individuals and as a society.
