The seven pastoral writings presented in this volume are notable
for their lack of polemic. Although his very life was literally at
stake, Luther does not allude to his own situation, but subdues
himself to the message with which he was committed.

This volume makes available for the first time the complete works
of the important monastic theologian, Gilbert Crispin, friend and
pupil of Sr. Anselm and abbott of Westminster from 1085, and
includes a completely revised edition of his influential Disputatio
Iudei et Christiani.
New England is rich in history and mystery. Numerous sleepy little
towns and farming communities distinguish the region's scenic
tranquility. But not long ago, New Englanders lived in fear of
spectral ghouls believed to rise from their graves and visit family
members in the night to suck their lives away. Although the word
"vampire" was never spoken, scores of families disinterred loved
ones during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries searching for
telltale signs that one of them might be what is now referred to as
the New England vampire.
John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up in the Church of England
in the Evangelical tradition. An Oxford graduate and Fellow of
Oriel College, he was appointed Vicar of St Mary's Oxford in 1828;
from 1839 onwards he began to have doubts about the claims of the
Anglican Church and in 1845 he was received into the Roman Catholic
Church. He was made a Cardinal in 1879. His influence on both the
restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and the advance of
Catholic ideas in the Church of England was profound. This volume
covers a crucially important and significant period in Newman's
life. The Church of England bishops' continuing condemnation of
Tract 90 - plus Pusey's two-year suspension for preaching a
university sermon on the Real Presence - are major factors in
Newman resigning as Vicar of St Mary's, Oxford. His doubts about
the Church of England are deeper and stronger than ever, and he is
moving closer to Rome. William Lockhart's sudden defection to Rome
in August 1843 precipitates his resignation. He preaches his final
Anglican sermon, 'The Parting of Friends', and retires into lay
communion at Littlemore. The first edition of University Sermons,
including the celebrated sermon on theological development,
virtually sells out within a fortnight.

If man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God, then Johann Starck has provided a
bread basket for the Church with his Prayer-Book. This book of
daily prayers, hymns, poetry, and devotions presents in every
syllable the Bread that has come down from heaven. Written as daily
nourishment in the Word of God, this book also lends itself to
meditation and prayer during many of life's peculiar situations.
Professor Dau describes Starck well when he writes, "Starck loved
nothing sensational, nothing that was for mere display in matters
of religion. Christian life, to him, was real and earnest, to be
conducted in a sober mind. He was always bent on its practical
applications to every pursuit and action, and on enlisting really
the whole of a person in the service of the Master." When
Christians nourish their souls daily with meditation upon the Word
of God and the Sacraments, faith is strengthened. The Bread of Life
fills hearts and minds, and Christ finds expression in the world
through Christian life and speech. A contemporary pastor said it
best when he said "Starck gives Christians a daily helping of
meditation in God's Word, and leads them to satisfaction in their
vocational tasks."
Of the spiritual odysseys which dominate the literature of
nineteenth-century England, Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua is
universally acknowledged as one of the greatest and yet one of the
most difficult. Newman wrote the Apologia in 1864, as a reply to
Charles Kingsley's attack on his veracity and that of his fellow
Roman Catholic clergy; the following year he revised it extensively
and thereafter amended new impressions almost until his death in
1890. This fine edition, long unavailable, has been reissued for
the centenary; it includes all the variants resulting from Newman's
revisions, in both the printed texts and the surviving manuscripts.
