Catholic theology has to face a certain number of fundamental
questions: what is the nature and content of Christian revelation,
what are the sources of revelation, how are the mysteries of the
faith to be understood in relation of one to another, and how do
the truths of the Catholic faith relate to the acquisitions of
natural reason. In the contemporary context, Catholic theology is
marked by a diversity of approaches, many of which are seemingly
incompatible or estranged from one another. How might we think
about the unity of Catholic theology over and above the diversity
of forms? What role, if any, can Aquinas play as a common doctor in
facilitating exchanges between theological traditions in the
Church? Principles of Catholic Theology seeks to address directly
the nature of Catholic theology and the challenge of its
contemporary articulation with an eye towards its articulation in
its Thomistic key. This book is also the first of a series of
collections of essays by Thomas Joseph White, OP, extending over a
range of fundamental topics in Catholic dogmatic theology.

This new Companion to Aquinas features entirely new chapters
written by internationally recognized experts in the field. It
shows the power of Aquinas's philosophical thought and transmits
the worldview which he inherited, developed, altered, and argued
for, while at the same time revealing to contemporary philosophers
the strong connections which there are between Aquinas's interests
and views and their own. Its five sections cover the life and works
of Aquinas; his metaphysics, including his understanding of the
ultimate foundations of reality; his metaethics and ethics,
including his virtue ethics; his account of human nature; his
theory of the afterlife; his epistemology and his theory of the
intellectual virtues; his view of the nature of free will and the
relation of grace to free will; and finally some key components of
his philosophical theology, including the incarnation and
atonement, Christology, and the nature of original sin.
In recent years, Thomistic thought has seen a noteworthy revival,
especially in the domain of systematic and historical theology.
This resurgence of interest in Aquinas' thought is beginning to
significantly affect the shape of academic theology as well as
ecumenical theology. Yet there exists no serious study of Thomistic
Christology, especially in dialogue with major themes in modern
Christology. The Incarnate Lord, then, considers central themes in
Christology from a metaphysical perspective. Particular attention
is given to the hypostatic union, the two natures of Christ, the
knowledge and obedience of Jesus, the passion and death of Christ,
his descent into hell, and resurrection. A central concern of the
book is to argue for the perennial importance of ontological
principles of Christology inherited from patristic and scholastic
authors. However, the book also seeks to advance an interpretation
of Thomistic Christology in a modern context. The teaching Aquinas,
then, is central to the study, but it is placed in conversation
with various modern theologians, such as Karl Barth, Karl Rahner
and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Ultimately the goal of the work is to
suggest how traditional Catholic theology might thrive under modern
conditions, and also develop fruitfully from engaging in
contemporary controversies. The first part of the book, then,
examines the ontology of the hypostatic union, the grace and human
nature of Christ, the analogical similitude of the human and divine
natures of Jesus, and the human knowledge and obedience of Christ.
The second part of the book considers the obedient self-offering of
Christ, his cry of dereliction, suffering and death, as well as his
descent into hell, and physical resurrection. The conclusion of the
book provides a systematic reflection on the nature of Christology
as a theoretical and historical discipline.
This book offers a broader, more positive picture of African
American fathers. Featuring case studies of African-descended
fathers, this edited volume brings to life the achievements and
challenges of being a black father in America. Leading scholars and
practitioners provide unique insight into this understudied
population. Short-sighted social policies which do not encourage
father involvement are critically examined and the value of father
engagement is promoted. The problems associated with the absence of
a father are also explored.
The second edition features an increased emphasis on:
- the historical issues confronting African descended
fathers
- the impact of health issues on Black fathers and their
children
- the need for therapeutic interventions to aid in the healing of
fathers and their children
- the impact of an Afrikan-centered fathering approach and the
need for research which considers systemic problems confronting
African American fathers
- community focused models that provide new ideas for
(re)connecting absent fathers
- learning tools including reflective questions and a conclusion
in each chapter and more theory and research throughout the
book.
Part I provides a historical overview of African descended
fathers including their strengths and shortcomings over the years.
Next, contributors share their personal stories including one from
a communal father working with underserved youth and two others
that highlight the impact of absent fathers. Then, the research on
father-daughter relationships is examined including the impact of
father absence on daughters and on gender identity. This section
concludes with a discussion of serving adolescents in the foster
care system. Part II focuses on the importance of a two-parent
home, communal fathering, and equalitarian households. Cultural
implications and barriers to relationships are also explored. This
section concludes with a discussion of the struggles Black men face
with role definitions. The book concludes with a discussion of the
impact of adoption and health issues on Black fathers and their
children, and the need for more effective therapeutic interventions
that include a perspective centered in the traditions and cultures
of Afrika in learning to become a father. The final chapter offers
an intervention model to aid in fatherhood.
An ideal supplementary text for courses on fathers and
fathering, introduction to the family, parenting, African American
families/men, men and masculinity, Black studies, race and ethnic
relations, and family issues taught in a variety of departments,
the book also appeals to social service providers, policy makers,
and clergy who work with community institutions.
The Light of Christ provides an accessible presentation of
Catholicism that is grounded in traditional theology, but engaged
with a host of contemporary questions or objections. Inspired by
the theologies of Irenaeus, Thomas Aquinas and John Henry Newman,
and rooted in a post-Vatican II context, Fr. Thomas Joseph White
presents major doctrines of the Christian religion in a way that is
comprehensible for non-specialists: knowledge of God, the mystery
of the Trinity, the Incarnation and the atonement, the sacraments
and the moral life, eschatology and prayer. At the same time, The
Light of Christ also addresses topics such as evolution, the modern
historical study of Jesus and the Bible, and objections to Catholic
moral teaching. Touching on the concerns of contemporary readers,
Fr. White examines questions such as whether Christianity is
compatible with the findings of the modern sciences, do historical
Jesus studies disrupt or confirm the teaching of the faith, and
does history confirm the antiquity of Catholic claims. This book
serves as an excellent introduction for young professionals with no
specialized background in theology who are interested in learning
more about Catholicism, or as an introduction to Catholic theology.
It will also serve as a helpful text for theology courses in a
university context. As Fr. White states in the book's introduction:
""This is a book that offers itself as a companion. I do not
presume to argue the reader into the truths of the Catholic faith,
though I will make arguments. My goal is to make explicit in a few
broad strokes the shape of Catholicism. I hope to outline its
inherent intelligibility or form as a mystery that is at once
visible and invisible, ancient and contemporary, mystical and
reasonable.
There is perhaps no aspect of traditional Thomistic thought so
contested in modern Catholic theology as the notion of
predestination as presented by the classical Thomist school. What
is that doctrine, and why is it so controversial? Has it been
rightly understood in the context of modern debates? At the same
time, the Church's traditional affirmation of a mystery of
predestination is largely ignored in modern Catholic theology more
generally. Why is this the case? Can a theology that emphasizes the
Augustinian notion of the primacy of salvation by grace alone also
forego a theology of predestination? Thomism and Predestination:
Principles and Disputations considers these topics from various
angles: the principles of the classical Thomistic treatment of
predestination, their contested interpretation among modern
theologians, examples of the doctrine as illustrated by the
spiritual writings of the saints, and the challenges to Catholic
theology that the Thomistic tradition continues to pose. This
volume initiates readers- especially future theologians and
Catholic intellectuals-to a central theme of theology that is
speculatively challenging and deeply interconnected to many other
elements of the faith.

A middle-aged man believes he is suffering from a mental health
condition. Gilbert Martin can "see" things that others don't and
predict the future with disturbing dreams and visions. Whilst on a
school holiday to France during his teens, he meets a girl called
Margaux on Chatelaillon-Plage. Somehow, she manages to leave the
beach with him and since then, she has inhabited his life: he talks
to her, he chats with her and she answers back. Seeking a
resolution, one way or the other, he decides to write a book about
his experiences and uses the interest in his novel to garner the
sympathy of the public and to make it easy for him to travel to
France where it all began. Will he able to resolve the mystery and
to discover if Margaux is real and who is she? A suspense-mystery
novel of love, courage and perseverance that will make the reader
dwell on how, no matter how extreme the situation someone is going
through, life can be a surprising journey.
The conversation of this book is structured around five major
documents from the Second Vatican Council, each of which Barth
commented upon in his short but penetrating response to the
Council, published as Ad Limina Apostolorum. In the two opening
essays, Thomas Joseph White reflects upon the contribution that
this book seeks to make to contem porary ecumenism rooted in
awareness of the value of dogmatic theol ogy; and Matthew Levering
explores the way in which Barth's Ad Limina Apostolorum flows from
his preconciliar dialogues with Catholic repre sentatives of the
nouvelle theologie and remain relevant to the issues facing
Catholic theology today. The next two essays turn to Dei Verbum,
the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation; here Katherine
Sondereg ger (Protestant) reflects on scripture and Lewis Ayres
(Catholic) reflects on tradition. The next two essays address the
Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, which touches
upon central differences of Cath olic and Protestant
self-understanding. Christoph Schwoebel (Protestant) analyzes
visible ecclesial identity as conceived in a Protestant context,
while Thomas Joseph White (Catholic) engages Barth's Reformed crit
icisms of the Catholic notion of the Church. The next two essays
take up Nostra Aetate: Bruce McCormack (Protestant) asks whether it
is true to say that Muslims worship the same God as Christians, and
Bruce D. Marshall (Catholic) explores the implications of the
Council's reflections on the Jewish people. The next two essays
take up the Pastoral Constitu tion on the Church in the Modern
World, Gaudium et Spes: John Bowlin (Protestant) makes use of the
thought of Aquinas to consider the prom ise and perils of the
document, while Francesca Aran Murphy (Catho lic) engages
critically with George Lindbeck's analysis of the document. The
next two essays explore Unitatis Redintegratio: Hans Boersma (Prot
estant) asks whether the ecumenical intention of the document is im
paired by its insistence that the unity of the Church is already
present in the Catholic Church, and Reinhard Hutter (Catholic)
systematically addresses Barth's questions regarding the document.
The noted ecumen ist and Catholic theologian Richard Schenk brings
the volume to a close by reflecting on "true and false ecumenism"
in the post-conciliar period.
Los lideres vienen en todos los tamanos, formas y tipos. Algunos
son los reptiles (de sangre fria, duros como piedra) y otros son
los mamiferos (de sangre caliente, compasivos).
El verdadero lider grandioso es aquel que trasciende el tipo y va
mas alla de los usuales barometros del exito para lograr el
verdadero cambio en su organizacion. Comience con la formacion de
los principios basicos, y usted desarrollara un equilibrio entre
las caracteristicas de liderazgo disciplinadas y analiticas de los
reptiles y las de los mamiferos protectores y llenos de interes.
Por ultimo, todas estas habilidades y cualidades se fusionaran para
formar algo mas grande que la suma de sus partes, un "factor
chispeante" intangible pero muy real que separa a los grandes
lideres de los que solamente son buenos. "La naturaleza del
liderazgo" se fija en las cualidades universales de grandes lideres
contemporaneos asi como aquellas figuras historicas cuyas
genialidades de liderazgo aun hacen eco.

With his own words and images, Joseph White Bull tells of his
memorable life and exploits as a Lakota warrior in the late
nineteenth century. The son of a Miniconjou chief and nephew of
Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapas, White Bull was an accomplished
warrior. He participated in the Fetterman and Wagon-Box fights, and
fought at the Little Big Horn, contending that he was the warrior
who killed Custer.
Many years later, White Bull was persuaded to recount the
outstanding events of his life. The result is this remarkable
autobiography, consisting of text and drawings. In addition to
relating White Bull's accomplishments in war, the narrative
includes events from his youth, details of Lakota culture, and an
extended Lakota winter count.
This bilingual edition, originally published as "The Warrior Who
Killed Custer" (Nebraska 1968), features White Bull's story in its
original Lakota, his drawings, and an English translation. The
manuscript was translated and edited by James H. Howard, author of
"The Canadian Sioux" (Nebraska 1984) and "The Ponca Tribe"
(Nebraska 1995).
