A través de los escritos de Bonhoeffer es posible constatar con gran facilidad que la preocupación por lo ético puede detectarse a lo largo y ancho de su pensamiento, tal vez como consecuencia directa de su inagotable «instinto» de interrogación, que le permitía leer con atención y espíritu crítico su propio presente y la tradición religioso-cultural en la que se encontraba anclado. Esta preocupación es especialmente importante en sus...

Nesta obra de Erasmo, quem fala é a Loucura. Sempre vista apenas como uma doença ou como uma característica negativa e indesejada, aqui ela é personificada na forma mais encantadora. E, já que ninguém mais lhe dá crédito por tudo o que faz pela humanidade, ela tece elogios a si mesma. O que seria da raça dos homens se a insanidade não os impulsionasse na direção do casamento? Seria suportável a vida, com suas desilusões e desventuras,...

The death of the old allows something new to grow, sometimes-straight back from the charred roots. Christian tradition functions much the same way, says Philipp Rosemann. In this book, he examines how transgression and destruction are crucial in the foundation and preservation of tradition.
Theories of tradition have emphasized the handing-down of...

Both our secular culture and our Christian discourse suffer from a lack of appreciation of nature. "Nature" describes the world as we find it, created by God, broken by the fall, exhibiting both stability and change. It is denied in different ways by postmodernists, progressives, evolutionary naturalists, technologists, and transhumanists, but also by Christian fundamentalists and ideologues who fail to recognize the goodness of creation and the possibility...

Aware that many people today are skeptical about marriage, Angelo Cardinal Scola nevertheless suggests that only in the category of nuptial mystery do we find a way to adequately describe the phenomenon of love.

Amid culture wars and church division, Michael W. Austin calls us back to the authentic Way-following Christ in humility and love.
American Christians have lost the Way. We chase power and comfort and coat our self-righteousness in a Christian veneer. We comfort ourselves that we follow the rules and go to church, so life will work out for us. But we have forgotten what it means to truly follow Christ.

A philosophical and theological study of the eucharist in the Catholic Church.
Emmanuel Falque's The Wedding Feast of the Lamb represents a turning point in his thought. Here, Falque links philosophy and theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full effect of theology's "backlash" against philosophy.
