Blake Britton discovered the truth and beauty of the council while he was in seminary and he has witnessed firsthand the power of its teachings

All of us encounter valleys on our journey with the Lord—those periods of spiritual desolation that are a painful yet unavoidable feature of our prayer life.

In Nazis of Copley Square, Charles Gallagher provides a crucial missing chapter in the history of the American far right.

Fr. Vincent Miceli breaks ground in this analysis of seventeen Enlightenment theologians and philosophers who contributed to the rise of atheism. He explores their efforts and successes in convincing mankind to deny the existence of God, and he demonstrates how atheism has succeeded by creating mythical gods to stand in the place of God. What Fr. Miceli shows is that each tenet of atheism doesn't deny the existence of a Higher Power; it simply replaces the true Power with a false power.

He uniquely situates the teachings of the early Church Fathers against the social and cultural context of the Roman Empire and its relationship to the Church.

We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons.

Hoy la Iglesia vive una situación muy difícil. ¿Se trata de otra de las muchas crisis que ha vivido el cristianismo o de un declive definitivo? Crisis no quiere decir necesariamente final, argumenta Riccardi en este impecable y minucioso retrato de la iglesia actual. La crisis puede ser una oportunidad para abrirse al futuro, renacer, sabiendo que el gran riesgo consiste en contentarse con sobrevivir o en añorar un pasado que se cree mejor. Hoy, la iglesia está llamada a una condición de lucha, esta vez no contra enemigos externos sino contra la indiferencia y el descrédito.
