In his final collection of essays, Father Schall explores the life
of faith across a dazzling array of subjects, from Martin Luther to
bioethics. With his characteristic patience, brilliance, and
careful tenacity, Father Schall interrogates profoundly what it
means to try to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God in the city of
Man. Never shying away from controversy, across 14 articles and 4
book reviews Father Schall investigates the critical themes of his
life and scholarship: reason and revelation; the nature of
modernity; literature and salvation; metaphysics and politics; and
much more. Whether the reader is new to Father Schall or a longtime
student, this posthumously-published collection of essays offers a
profound meditation on the nature of political philosophy, and
particularly what it would mean for Catholicism to offer a
political philosophy. From such fundamental considerations, Schall
explores ethical, literary and legal themes, displaying his typical
breadth and depth of engagement with all that is real. Ultimately,
Father Schall leads one on a Socratic enterprise, an education
whereby one comes to question for oneself basic assumptions, and to
dig deeper into the first principles as they are recalled in the
orders of knowledge and being. While Father Schall has passed on to
his reward, this collection of essays helps ensure that his lessons
continue to guide, challenge and enrich students for generations to
come.
