Have you ever felt pressured to compromise what you believe? To stay silent when you know something is wrong. To follow the crowd even when your conscience says otherwise. You're not alone. Throughout history, people of faith have faced the same struggle: how to remain true when the world demands compromise. That is the heart of the Books of Meqabyan. Hidden within the Ethiopian Bible tradition, these ancient writings explore courage, faithfulness, moral resistance, and the challenge of standing firm when forces push in the opposite direction.

In popular imagination, Tolkien is a Luddite, but recent scholarship has identified Tolkien's extensive modern sympathies. Tolkien, Philosopher of War contributes to this growing literature. His is a modern critique of Enlightenment thinking, specifically those philosophies that wrest the initiative from God in divinizing man. His worry is apocalyptic politics—political movements that take Christ's word out of the realm of grace and make it a platform for political action.

Join one of the world’s leading Catholic theologians in exploring the enduring power of Vatican II to shape the future of the Catholic Church. As John XXIII said, the Catholic Church is not a museum filled with artifacts, but rather “a flourishing garden of life” that moves ever forward into the future.

Solange er sich erinnern kann, hat Blake K. Healy bereits Engel und Dämonen gesehen. Er sieht sie so klar, wie er natürliche Dinge sieht. Er sieht zum Beispiel Engel in Anbetungsgottesdiensten tanzen und Ermutigungsworte in die Ohren von Menschen flüstern, doch genauso sieht er auch Dämonen, die sich an Leute heften und so Abhängigkeiten, Lügen und Bitterkeit in deren Herzen und Gedanken aufrechterhalten.

Victor Farwell was without doubt a slow starter in monastic life. To his contemporaries he seemed an unremarkable also-ran, whose lack of academic talents would hold him back.

When we talk of saints who have been maligned, misunderstood, and mistreated, no one deserves more a place in this book than venerable Pope Pius XII. We have learned late in life that the history passed down depends on the authors, not necessarily on the facts. We can remember in our lifetime, the escalator of our emotions and intellect, as a country ascended from enemy to friend and then descended, back again, from friend to enemy.

Closing the gap between historical understanding and popular perception, historian Thomas Madden shows that it's not the Crusades that led to the conflict between the Muslim Middle East and the West but the artificial memory passed down by Arab nationalists and Islamists. Today, when the Crusades are used as a justification for recent wars and acts of violence, The Crusades Controversy provides a sane understanding of how these holy wars fit within the context of history and the modern challenges our world faces today.

The Psalms are the most popular, most universally loved and used book in the Bible, which in turn is the most popular book in the world. They are hymns, songs, poems, and prayers, both formal (liturgical and communal) and informal (spontaneous, personal, and individual); and this gives them many layers of meaning rather than one, unlike theologies and creeds. The Psalms are literally inexhaustible, so a new book of reflections on them is always welcome. Especially a book by the beloved, widely read, best-selling author and philosopher, Peter Kreeft.

Thinking with the mind of the Church, Mr. Hudson has mined the riches of faith and reason with which the Church has blessed civilization and with which she has shone forth the splendor of truth across two millennia. It was G.K. Chesterton who quipped that the Church is the one continual institution to have been thinking about thinking for 2,000 years, and it is for this reason, as Chesterton also quipped, that she saves us from the ignominy of ignorance which makes us children of our own time and slaves of the zeitgeist. It is she who enables us to think outside the temporal box.
