Paperback. Condición: Good. We can't be joyful without knowing why we should be joyful.That's why celebrated Catholic author James V. Schall, S.J., the the thinking man's priest presents these short but powerful chapters on the most important and joyful feasts of the Church's liturgical year. With Fr. Schall as your guide, you'll come tounderstand more deeply the point of each celebration. You'll learn truths about the feasts that will awaken you to real joy, as you considerChristmas, Easter, Pentecost, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day, as well as the End Times that we encounter in the last Sundays of the liturgical year. Rather than being encyclopedic discussions of each of the feasts, these penetrating reflections generally point to something astonishingly new that you missed before, something of the meaning and depth of each feast that is almost always passed over unnoticed, except by those who think long and deeply about them. In any one of these discussions, you'll find never-ending causes of insight into what we are and who God is. In a word, this powerful and delightful book affords you an enormous opportunity to consider anew the great truths of our Faith handed down to us by our beloved Mother Church, and that each year are celebrated in Her Feasts.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. At its beginning, every age has been ?modern.? We speak of ?pre-? and ?post-? modern ages. We are likewise tempted to identify what is most up-to-date with what is true. But to be up-to-date is to be out-of-date. If we find what is really true in any age, it will be true in all ages. This proposition is central to this book. Moreover, what is true will appear in different guises, as will what is false. The ?modern age? had often considered itself relativist, or secular, or skeptical. It strove to divest itself of its theological and metaphysical backgrounds, only to find that the central themes from this tradition recur again and again, most often under political or even scientific forms.      This book proposes to ?see? these classical and revelational roots within their modern forms. But we also find the proposition that what exists is only what we make. We find no ?truth? but that of our own confection. When we find only our own ?truth,? however, we do not really find or know ourselves. We do not cause what it is to be ourselves in the first place. The central truth that the ?modern age? does not acknowledge is that its own existence along with that of the world itself is first a gift. When we see the ?modern age? in this light we can again rediscover what we really are. Hopefully, we can choose and rejoice in what we are intended to be in any age as the gift of being is something that transcends all ages even while dwelling within them.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Over a span of six decades, Fr. James Schall has been one of our foremost thinkers and cultural commenters. A distinguished professor, the author of more than thirty books, and writer of countless essays - his favorite literary form - Fr. Schall has made a life of pondering the most important questions of this world and beyond. Now, in Run That By be Again, Fr. Schall himself has selected more than fifty of his essays on the most intriguing, urgent, and sometimes difficult topics. These are things we want to - need to- think about again and again, and Schall, with his concise, readable style and teacher's heart, has a knack for explaining lofty ideas to all. Here, Schall ruminates on: Language, Wodehouse, cooking, music, and putting Jesuit donkeys out to pasture (you'll just have to read it);Abortion, marriage, Christian persecution, and other issues that continue to gnaw away at our Christian culture;Christ and his nature, what it means to be human, sin and its origins and consequences;And the Cosmos, the South, English departments, and other mysterious places.The Common threads are a love of God, a thirst for wisdom, and a desire for a life well-lived. Whether this is your first time considering the questions posed and answered in these pages or if you are revisiting them with fresh eyes and a renewed spirit, it is well worth the time to sit with Fr. Schall - one of the greatest thinkers and teachers of the past century - and ponder the great mysteries and truths of life.…
