This volume tells the little-known story of the Dominican
Family-priests, sisters, brothers, contemplative nuns, and lay
people-and integrates it into the history of the United States.
Starting after the Civil War, the book takes a thematic approach
through twelve essays examining Dominican contributions to the
making of the modern United States by exploring parish ministry,
preaching, health care, education, social and economic justice,
liturgical renewal and the arts, missionary outreach and
contemplative prayer, ongoing internal formation and renewal, and
models of sanctity. It charts the effects of the United States on
Dominican life as well as the Dominican contribution to the larger
U.S. history. When the country was engulfed by wave after wave of
immigrants and cities experienced unchecked growth, Dominicans
provided educational institutions; community, social, and religious
centers; and health care and social services. When epidemic disease
hit various locales, Dominicans responded with nursing care and
spiritual sustenance. As the United States became more complex and
social inequities appeared, Dominicans cried out for social and
economic justice. Amidst the ugliness and social dislocation of
modern society, Dominicans offered beauty through the liturgical
arts, the fine arts, music, drama, and film, all designed to enrich
the culture. Through it all, the Dominicans cultivated their own
identity as well, undergoing regular self-examination and renewal.

Augustine and History relates history to Augustine's thoughts,
life, and writings in several distinct, but connected, ways. The
essays place Augustine in his historical context, analyze his own
theory and practice of historiography, and examine his impact on
later historians and controversies. Augustine's intellect and
influence are elaborated in contexts as disparate as the Fall of
Rome, debates on the death penalty, and even the reactions to 9/11.
This collection of scholarly essays is excellent for a wide-ranging
academic audience.
