Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently it has been commonplace to believe that Vatican II represents a permanent sidelining of the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas for theology. The documents of that council, it is said, moved away from the scholastic categories that had informed Catholic theological work since the Reformation, and most particularly since Vatican I. There is some truth to this, of course, since the council fathers preferred biblical formulations in a personalist and pastoral mode over the kinds of concepts one finds in Neo-Thomism. The effect of this shift on theological education is well known. Indeed, so swift was the change that one finds figures as different as Jacques Maritain, Karl Rahner, and Joseph Ratzinger worrying soon after the Council's conclusion that the Angelic Doctor had all but disappeared from Catholic theology. Each in his own way sought to call the Church's intellectuals back to a consideration of Aquinas to address not simply philosophical issues but those dealing with the central doctrinal mysteries of the faith. It is now clear that after decades of experimentation with various philosophical systems, a number of scholars have either found a new audience for their work or have recently discovered for themselves the ancient beauty of Aquinas' theological work. The present volume brings together a number of prominent scholars to explore the different ways in which the writings of Thomas Aquinas on Christ, grace, faith, and other properly theological themes retain their relevance, and indeed, constitute a firmer basis upon which to explore these mysteries than many recent streams of thought. Contributors include: Thomas Weinandy, OFM, Cap., David C. Schindler, Michael Torre, Jessica Murdoch, Francis Feingold, Thomas Rourke, Marie George, James Hanink, John F.X. Knasas, Heather Erb, Joshua Schultz, Anton Schaube, William Hamant, Joel Johnson, Philip Berns, Daniel Drain, Fred Boley, Justin Matchulat, and Michael Humphreys.

Book excerpt: More and more in our modern and postmodern culture the twin concepts of beauty and truth have been separated both from each other and from their individual connection to the divine source of Beauty and Truth. Even as our public schools move further and further away from their connection to the universal moral code, the world of art (both high and low) embraces an aesthetic that privileges ugliness over beauty, nihilism over form, and radical self-expression over the pursuit of higher truth. As both an effective apologist for truth-based education and as a sub-creator of his own beauty-enhancing fiction, C.S. Lewis is the ideal guide for those who would seek to restore truth and beauty to their proper place and role in our modern world. Sections one and two analyze Lewis' eleven novels, showing how Lewis counters the growing cult of the ugly and helps restore a clearer understanding of the nature of good and evil. Sections three and four turn to Lewis' non-fiction works to assess what advice Lewis can give educators at all levels who would steer their students away from chronological snobbery and values-free education toward a true re-engagement with the past. The book concludes with a commentary on Screwtape Letters that exposes what Satan's main temptation tactics have been since the 1960s and a detailed bibliographical essay of books by and about Lewis.

Book excerpt: "Restoring the Ancient Paths" A Book Of Restoring Rights and Reclaiming What Has Been Stolen Through history, and said of the present and future as well. Jew and Gentile have been unaware of their destinies that are linked, some would say inexplicably so. In Restoring The Ancient Paths, we survey the profiles of each, while understanding that due to the roles that were given, Jew and Gentile have forever been dependent upon one another. It is in the midst of a historical-chaos, that we see a finely tuned plan emerge; one that is called the mystery of Gods plan. In this, the Jew and gentile have always been caught in a delicate balance of prophetic significance. ...The Church is being disentangled from a history of anti-Semitism; find out how she will finally discover her final mandate-"All Israel " ...The Jewish people have survived the most horrific of episodes throughout human history-Learn the five supernatural reasons (Laws of Zion, ) that made their survival possible. ...Precept upon precept, discover the biblical basis for the link between God's Chosen People and the nations, Israel's role in the kingdom to come, and how the early church separated from the Jews. ...Son of a Holocaust survivor on his paternal side, and Nazi resistance leader on his maternal side, Felix Halpern is senior leader of Beth Chofesh a Messianic Congregation. He serves as Nationally Appointed Missionary to the Jewish people and President of the National Jewish Fellowship of the Assemblies of God. Before ministry, he established a successful career in the Diamond and Gold business in New York City that spanned two decades working with the Orthodox and Hassidic Jewish communities. Married over 30 years, father of two daughters, Felix serves with a passion to see the "light of Messiah" come to his people.
