Mans Desire For God
$17.95
This book brings a Thomistic prospective and analysis to many of the post-Vatican II problems in Catholic theology. The unique contribution of this work is that is combines many of these post-Vatican II works with a searching and new analysis of certain Thomistic problems which have pervaded Catholic theology, both past and present. The author brings fresh perspective to a famous Thomist debate of the mid 20th Century concerning why man is called to union with God. He uses his solution to this problem as a springboard to launch an analysis of such contemporary issues as: the personalistic philosophy of Pope John Paul II, the malaise in Moral Theology which is at the root of the pedophilia crisis in the Church in the United States, the loss of fatherhood and true masculinity in the West, the problem of death and the nature of the Holy Eucharist. Each issue is examined from the perspective of faith seeking understanding and seeks to contribute a new understanding of both the positive and negative contributions of the Catholic theologians of the last 50 years.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
