CHRISTIANITY’S QUIET SUCCESSThe Eusebius Gallicanus Sermon Collection and the Power of the Church in Late Antique GaulLisa Kaaren Bailey“The Eusebius Gallicanus collection of sermons . . . has received comparatively little scholarly attention, being comprehensively overshadowed by the sermons of Caesarius of Aries. Bailey’s monograph . . . aims to show why this collection is worthy of wider consideration and how it brings important new insights to our understanding of the process of Christianisation in late antique Gaul.” —Bryn Mawr Classical Review4. 978-0-268-02224-2 • $34.00 pa SALE $23.00 • 288 pp

DANTE AND THE BLESSED VIRGINRalph McInerny“Serving as both a uniquely focused compan-ion to the Divine Comedy and a treatise on the enigmatic, central role of Mary in the poem, this offering by the late Ralph McInerny, a noted philosopher, allows the Catholic reader in particular to recognize Dante’s ‘devotion to the Blessed Virgin in warm continuity with his or her own beliefs and practices.’ . . . Viewing Mary as the moral and philosophical key that unlocks the deepest criticism, McInerny writes with clar-ity, rigor, and élan.” —Choice5. 978-0-268-03517-4 • $30.00 cl • 184 pp

CHRISTIANITY AND THE SECULARRobert A. Markus“Markus interweaves his discussion of late antiquity with current debates about the relationship of the Church and the world, showing vividly that the questions of culture and inculturation, of the right relationship with the world, of the secular, secularization and desecularization, with which the church currently grapples, are not new.” —Theology6. 978-0-268-03491-7 • $18.00 pa SALE $12.60 • 112 pp

ADORATION AND ANNIHILATIONThe Convent Philosophy of Port-RoyalJohn J. Conley, S.J.“[The book] introduces readers to the extra-ordinarily rich, and radically understudied, field of early modern convent writing. Additionally, it makes a compelling case for the expansion of the philosophical canon through the inclusion of religious works by women, a move that medievalists interested in women’s religious texts ought to consider emulating.” —The Medieval Review10. 978-0-268-02296-9 • $50.00 cl SALE $30.00 • 336 pp

JULIAN OF NORWICH AND THE MYSTICAL BODY POLITIC OF CHRISTFrederick Christian Bauerschmidt“This is the best study on Julian since Colledge and Walsh’s 1978 critical edition of Showings.

SHAKESPEARE AND RELIGIONEarly Modern and Postmodern PerspectivesEdited by Ken Jackson and Arthur F. Marotti“Religion has assumed a surprising centrality in contemporary Shakespeare studies, generating an abundance of historical insights alongside a burgeoning interest in the spiritual possibilities of the plays for us today. This collection eschews either take on the field, preferring a more comprehensive view. It brings together nearly all the people one would most want to read on the topic, and the essays are notable for their lively seriousness. Here, the topic of Shakespeare and religion is a burning brand with which to illuminate the past and the present.

SEEING THINGS THEIR WAYIntellectual History and the Return of ReligionEdited by Alister Chapman, John Coffey, and Brad S. Gregory“This book seeks to bring together religious history and intellectual history in a fruitful dialogue. While the threat of reductionism is more evident in the history of religious ideas, the essays in this volume demonstrate the possibility in the religious realm of ‘seeing things their way.’ This book is an important contribution to the history of religious thought.” —Catholic Library World “Taken together, the essays in this volume reveal, eloquently and persuasively, the unacceptably high cost of ignoring both theology and religious experience; they will help to ensure that future intellectual historians will be unable to sidestep religion, as too many of their predecessors have done.” —The Journal of Ecclesiastical History17. 978-0-268-02298-3 • $38.00 pa SALE $24.00 • 280 pp

THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRITNicholas AfanasievTranslated by Vitaly PermiakovEdited with an introduction by Michael PlekonForeword by Rowan Williams“This is the first time that the classic work of Fr. Afanasiev, originally completed in 1950, has been published in English. Fr. Afanasiev joins a line of Orthodox theologians who attempt to understand the Church—that ‘subject which is not a subject,’ according to Fr. Schmemann—beyond the standard, canonical, approach. His voice, in this edition’s English, sounds timely even now.” —The Journal of Ecclesiastical History13. 978-0-268-02030-9 • $45.00 cl SALE $31.50 • 352 pp

PARTICIPATORY BIBLICAL EXEGESISA Theology of Biblical InterpretationMatthew Levering“[Participatory Biblical Exegesis] goes beyond the task of diagnosis and, by appealing to Aquinas, illustrates the way exegesis can be done, and indeed has been done, when unencumbered by the conventions of contemporary hermeneutics which have in large part been underwritten by a linear-historical view of reality.” —European Journal of Theology “Written from a Roman Catholic perspective, the volume will appeal to anyone interested in biblical interpretation. While directed toward scholars, the book is nonetheless accessible to the intelligent lay reader.” —Library Journal14. 978-0-268-03408-5 • $25.00 pa SALE $17.50 • 328 ppReading the Scriptures

ST. JEROME’S COMMENTARIES ON GALATIANS, TITUS, AND PHILEMONTranslated by Thomas P. Scheck“Scheck’s introduction is clearly written and lucid, containing fine theological observations as well as a clear historical context for Jerome’s commentary. Scheck’s excellent translation comes at a most opportune time given that interest in patristic exegesis is high and Jerome is among the best of the ancient commentators on Galatians.” —Joseph T.

AUGUSTINE AND THE CURE OF SOULSRevising a Classical IdealPaul R. Kolbet“[This] is a fine and thought-provoking book. Kolbet makes a persuasive case that Augustine’s pastoral theory and homiletical practice can be better understood when seen as part of a long line of development of the broad stream of Greco-Roman philosophico-rhetorical therapy and as a self-consciously Christian appropriation thereof.” —The Medieval Review21. 978-0-268-03321-7 • $45.00 pa SALE $31.50 • 360 ppChristianity and Judaism in Antiquity

PHILO’S PORTRAYAL OF MOSES IN THE CONTEXT OF ANCIENT JUDAISMLouis H. Feldman“In this volume Feldman applies to Philo’s Moses the kind of analysis he brought to bear on Josephus’ study of biblical personalities. . . . This is a book packed with detail and analysis that would seem to be primarily of interest to a scholar of ancient Judaism.

ANALOGIA ENTISOn the Analogy of Being, Metaphysics, and the Act of FaithSteven A. Long“Long speaks for a classical tradition of Thomistic thought but does so with a keen eye on precisely the ways it can help contemporary reflection. His compelling and substantive argument for the value and truth of a set of classical metaphysical understandings—for the necessity of the analogy of proper proportionality in the thought of Thomas Aquinas—will have to be taken seriously by anyone working in analogy in Aquinas as well as by a wide range of scholars within both philosophy and theology.” —John F.

TEMPLARS AND HOSPITALLERS AS PROFESSED RELIGIOUS IN THE HOLY LANDJonathan Riley-Smith“In Templars and Hospitallers Riley-Smith returns once again to the history of the two oldest and best-known medieval military orders, whose members combined the functions of monks and knights. Riley-Smith’s Templars and Hospitallers, although brief, is yet one more of his significant contributions to the history of the crusades and the medieval military orders. It is a book that no one interested in these topics can afford to ignore.” —The Catholic Historical Review56. 978-0-268-04058-1 • $25.00 pa SALE $15.00 • 144 pp

POPE INNOCENT III (1160/61–1216)To Root Up and to PlantJohn C.

Moore’s biography is wide-ranging, showing the preoccupations of the pope at all of the stages of his pontificate.” —English Historical Review57. 978-0-268-03514-3 • $35.00 pa SALE $21.00 • 328 pp

[T]his is a rich and generous book, crammed with a lifetime’s learning.” —The New York Review of Books58. 978-0-268-03381-1 • $75.00 cl SALE $45.00 • 952 pp
