St. John Eudes One of the most prolific ascetical writers of the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes was a reservoir of holy wisdom and fervor.  Perhaps no book of our author better exemplifies his profoundly incarnational dactrine than The Admirable Heart of Mary.  Eudes reveals to his disciples this most pure and maternal of all hearts in its corporal and spiritual pulsations, …

Understanding The Trinity Fr. John P. Arendzen Although many religions acknowledge the oneness of God and recognize the good things He does for us, Christians alone have been admitted to sacred intimacy with Him.

Von Balthasar sets forth and explains the Scriptural evidence for our ability to know the Lord and for His knowledge of us.

"My plan in this book," writes Father Danielou, the eminent French theologian, "is not to record what I say of God, but what God has said of Himself... to place religions and philosophies, the Old Testament and the New, theology and mysticism, in their proper relationship with the knowledge of God." God and the Ways of Knowing is therefore a subtle and penetrating interpretation of the ways by …

"Cardinal Kasper is a master synthesizer, and his display of erudition alone makes this book a worthy read and a valuable resource for questions of God and trinity. Using admittedly polemical language, he calls for a 'theological theology' which makes the explaination of the confession of the triune God its first priority, not only for speculative but for pastoral reasons." - Horizons
