The School of Self-Knowledge: A Symposium from Medieval Sources translated by G. Webb and A. Walker.

One notices a debt here, not only to the Cistercian fathers, but to the school of St. Victor, which tended to be more speculative.

He links this consistent theme of her work to the shape of her own faithful and cross-filled life. Martin's larger argument points out that only fiction fiction with a passionate religious vision has a chance of enduring.

History and Theology of Grace by John A. Hardon, SJ. Among the mysteries of Catholicism, none is more practically important than the doctrine of grace. It is at the very heart of Christianity on its human side, since it describes the panorama of God's dealing's with man, and corresponds in theology to the science of psychology, but with implications in every aspect of Christian religion that have no counterpart in rational philosophy. The theology of grace is not simple, as may be seen from sequence of errors strewn along the path of the Church's history.
In History and Theology of Grace, Fr. Hardon provides such a rich and detailed summary of the Church's understanding of grace, along with a well-ordered historical account of how that understanding developed.

The Privilege of Being a Woman by Dr. Alice von Hildebrand. Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. von Hildebrand characterises the difference between such views as based on whether man's vision is secularistic or based in the supernatural. She shows that feminism's attempts to gain equality with men by imitating men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. Rather, she elaborates on the many unique gifts of women and their value to society. Above all she reminds us that the Blessed Mother's role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege of being a woman.

With Us Today: On the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist by John A. Hardon, SJ. The years following the Second Vatican Council have witnessed a crisis of faith in Christ Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist. Lacking the faith that Jesus in truly, physically present in the Eucharist, Catholics today are often unable to the purpose of the Mass and of the ordained priesthood. Fr. Hardon discusses the serious implications of this decreasing faith in the Real Presence and how it is linked to the crisis in the priesthood today. He examines the history of Eucharistic doctrine and concisely explains Church teaching on transubstantiation, and reminds us that at the Last Supper Jesus instituted the Eucharist so that He can nourish us with His Flesh and Blood and be physically present to us always. With Us Today, reminds all Catholics of the incredible gift we have in the Eucharist, and how each of us must share our faith in the Real Presence with others and be a part of the new era of Eucharistic devotion.
