Contemporary Sacred Art: Conversations on Art & Faith

Contemporary Sacred Art: Conversations on Art & Faith

Contemporary Sacred Art: Conversations on Art & Faith

by Dr. Michela Beatrice Ferri

In translation now from the Italian. Buy it in the original language here:

What is the so-called “Contemporary Sacred Art”? In her book, Michela Beatrice Ferri inquires about the themes of what we can call “Sacred Art” and “Religious Art” nowadays in our churches, in our Sacred Spaces, in the pictures we see, and in the sculptures we admire. The author collected eighteen dialogues, a third with the most important Italian Scholars in the field of the Sacred Art, and the remainder with the most important Italian artists working with the Catholic Church and working on the theme of the Religious, of the Sacred.

In this book, the author leads the discussion with the theoretical basis of the field that we can call “the aesthetics of Sacred Art,” bringing together the messages of Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II to the artists with the Thomistic Perspective and the phenomenological point of view to create a starting point for a pioneer study on Contemporary Art in our Churches, in our Sacred Places, and in every visual representation we have with us.

Paperback $14.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“Sixty years ago, in his magisterial Letter from Birmingham City Jail, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote ‘We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.’ In this marvelous new book, Robin Arthur shows us some of the many ways in which we are interconnected. We need to understand our connections and our mutual interdependence if we are to survive. The stories in this book give me hope and should be read by everyone who is interested in our shared future.” Amir Hussain, Professor of Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robin Arthur is a newspaper editor and a journalist who won the Pan-Asia Journalism award in 1995. This book is a sequel to Global Healing, which he released in June 2019. He has written several other books including Can the Poor Inherit the Earth, which is an opinion on Third World development paradigms and which won acclaim from UN organizations including UNESCO and UNDP. His first novel, The Island of Habarra, provides a glimpse into the sad narrative of expatriate workers who leave families and home behind to work in the oil-rich Persian Gulf. In Canada, Arthur worked to develop an appreciation of interfaith dialogue, and between 2011 and 2016 convened three very successfully staged Spiritual Diversity Conferences, paving the way for the establishment of an Interfaith Council in the city of Halifax.

Elements of Christianity: The Beauty of the Christian Faith

by Tonino Vicari

This book attempts to make accessible to the average reader the basic elements of Church teaching concerning morality, natural law, and supernatural truths that have been passed down through the Holy Scriptures and Tradition from the time of the Apostles from Jesus Christ himself. 

Hardback: $39.95 | Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“With his training in architecture and theology, Tonino Vicari demonstrates the beauty, wisdom, and logic of the Catholic faith in this compelling volume. Drawing upon Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and outstanding works of art, Elements of Christianity makes an ideal textbook for   higher level catechetical classes and adult education. In 1802 François-René de Chateaubriand published his Genius of Christianity as a response to the anti-clericalism of the French Enlightenment. In a similar way, Tonino Vicari has published a book on the beauty of the Catholic faith that responds to the secular culture of today.” Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D. Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan

“Tonino Vicari has produced a handy compendium of our Catholic faith tradition, which will be of great help to students entering into their studies and a resource for those who teach them.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tonino Vicari is a husband, father, author, and educator. He received his Master of Arts in Theology from Sacred Heart Major Seminary. He has been involved in teaching the Catholic Faith for the past 12 years. He lives in the Coachella Valley with his wife, and two children. His hobby includes fine art landscape photography.

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom by Mario Ramos-Reyes

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom by Mario Ramos-Reyes

The Nostalgia for a New Christendom

by Mario Ramos-Reyes

Mario Ramos-Reyes shares the political schizophrenia of mid-20th century Latin America and the healing process that sought to fill the void between Enlightenment liberalism and the Catholic tradition. The cure was the work of maritainismo, a proposal inspired by Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), the most admired and criticized Catholic thinker in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning with the Social Christian movement conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1947, the era of the new Latin American Christendom became a model that aspired to be democratic, liberal, and Christian. This project lasted until 1968, when Catholic thought abruptly turned toward liberation theology. Today, remembering the maritainista proposal in the face of the liberal secularist and populist postmodern avalanche is not a futile exercise of nostalgia but an urgent necessity.
 

Hardback: $29.95 | Paperback: $24.95| Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“This important work by Mario Ramos-Reyes traces the influence of Jacques Maritain’s mature social and political philosophy in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Maritain’s Catholic philosophical foundation for a democratic pluralist society appealed to a generation of Latin American political and social thinkers who sought to build a democratic order in Latin America based on the dignity of the human person and Catholic social teaching. Ramos-Reyes expresses a hope that after the tragic eclipse of this vision, which was attacked from both the right and the left, this kind of democracy inspired by a Thomistic Catholic philosophy may come once again to be politically fruitful in Latin America and around the world.” – Dr. Lawrence Feingold, Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary
“While everybody will not agree with the politics of this book, Latin Americanists should find the argument universally fascinating and enlightening because of its implications for the embeddedness of philosophy and religion (and philosophers and priests) in Latin American politics.” – Elizabeth Kuznesof, Professor and Director of the Center for Latin American Studies, University of Kansas
“Amid historical vicissitudes, Mario Ramos Reyes has sought the essentials of Maritain’s spirit: a Constitutional Democracy and the rule of law based on a Christian ethos. These still provide answers to this unmade world between postmodernism and woke ideologies and to this Latin America that, bleeding between socialist Christian utopias and its military-conservative reactions, has not yet found its path to institutional stability.” – Gabriel J. Zanotti, Professor, of UCEMA, and academic director of the Friedman-Hayek Center, and the Acton Institute, Buenos Aires, Argentina 

“Ramos-Reyes is a tragic optimist. The eclipse of Christian Democracy is indisputable. Even its resurgence can seem little more than a nostalgic dream. And yet, to draw from Scripture, he asks whether these ‘dead bones can rise again.’ He tells us that if they do, it will be at the summons of a new generation of Latin American thinkers and activists.” – James Hanink, Past President, American Maritain Association

“In The Nostalgia for a New Christendom, Mario Ramos-Reyes has written a thoughtful analysis of the thought of Jacques Maritain and its influence on Latin America. He both analyzes skillfully the insights and the failures of the Christian Democratic movement that Maritain inspired and offers an impressive defense of the relevance of Maritain’s philosophy of human dignity for the twenty-first century.” – Carl Strikwerda, former president Elizabethtown College and former dean College of William and Mary

“I recall reading William Cavanaugh’s book, Torture and Eucharist, and his call for a more radical, supernatural, Eucharistic approach to politics and his criticism of Maritain as a proponent of the Christian Democratic vision that Cavanaugh thought had marginalized and neutered the Church. Then, liberation theology took up so much of the debate. Against that was a traditional conservatism that called for a Catholic country that did not make much room for liberalism in the best sense. Then, of course, the strong secularization brings with it the legalization of abortion and the rejection of the family. Yes, where have you gone, Jacques Maritain? Well, at least there is an answer to this: the writing of Mario Ramos Reyes.” – Daniel Philpott, University of Notre Dame

Politics, Law & Religion in Times of COVID

Editors, Jane F. Adolphe, Fulvio Di Blasi, and Robert L. Fastiggi

After two years of anti-COVID-19 policies, an international group of Catholic scholars and lawyers gathered in Rome under the auspices of the International Catholic Jurists Forum to reflect on how society has handled the crisis in the fields of law, politics and religion. The purpose of the meeting was to highlight what needs to be done in the future to better safeguard subsidiarity, fundamental human rights, especially freedom of religion and conscience, expression, assembly and movement as well as democratic processes per se and the unity of family life. Scholars and jurists, authors of this book, discussed how the pandemic has affected the functioning of Western political systems, how it has changed our thinking about democracy, and how it has affected the life of the Church.

The publication of this book comes at a time when United Nations Member States are set to complete negotiations on the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Treaty, and on the WHO International Health Regulations. Both documents raise a number of concerns related to the global biosecurity governance regime that is envisioned and the correlative limits on fundamental human rights that it entails. This book offers an examination of a number of related issues and concerns that reflect upon and bravely engage the evidence to offer clear thinking for scientists, politicians, and clergymen in light of faith and right reason with respect for the natural moral law and for religious believers, with assistance from divine revelation.

Paperback: $24.95 | Kindle: $9.99


TESTIMONIALS

“This conference was superbly conceived and really useful. Involving scholars and practitioners from many countries […] What was learned […] was not only what happened around the world between 2020 and 2022 but what should not be allowed to happen again.” – Iain Benson, professor of law, University of Notre Dame, School of Law, Sydney, Australia

“The closure of churches by governments during the COVID pandemic has taught us that we can no longer take for granted the precious freedom to practice our faith.” – Charles LiMandri, Esq., LiMandri & Jonna, LLP

“Many churches in the West failed their spiritual covid-test. They carried a high viral load of fear – fear of disease, fear of man, fear of death – and showed low levels of spiritual antibodies. The gospel of freedom from fear was rarely preached in a way that challenges secular powers or popular sentiment.” – Douglas Farrow, professor of theology and ethics, School of Religious Studies, McGill University, Montreal

The Gender Revolution: A Global Agenda by Marguerite A. Peeters

The Gender Revolution: A Global Agenda by Marguerite A. Peeters

The Gender Revolution: A Global Agenda (A Tool for Discernment)

by Marguerite A. Peeters, Ph.D., with a Foreword by Robert Cardinal Sarah

Wherever one lives in the world and whatever one’s age and occupation, it has today become difficult to escape the influence of the global political and cultural norm of “gender equality”. Each continent, each government, each people can observe sociological developments in its midst that are linked to the gender perspective, to gender. These developments cannot be “neutral” nor without consequences for their cultures, their identity, their future. This book seeks to expose the global agenda of the gender revolution and share with those caught up in it the fullness of divine life.

Paperback: $14.95 | Kindle: $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“Marguerite Peeters meets and extends the convictions and exhortations of John Henry Newman, who said that only men and women of faith who ‘profit by what every day and hour teaches us, as it flies’ can discern and apprehend the overwhelming presence of God in the world. … We recommend this book and very much hope that it will be widely read throughout Africa and that it will elicit honest dialogue worthy of the greatness and dignity of man, created in the image and likeness of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” from the foreword, by Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect emeritus of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Archbishop emeritus of Conakry (Guinea)

“As a revised understanding of one’s sexual identity increasingly becomes integrated into the fabric and social structure of society, this author does something quite remarkable. She brings stunning clarity to the confusing dissonance of the culture of gender ideology. The author demonstrates how the confusion regarding one’s sexual identity has resulted from an inversion of the objective and subjective understanding of the nature of a person’s sexuality, where the objective biological reality has become the servant to the subjective understanding of the masculine and feminine. Undaunted, the author identifies the true nature of problem, namely, gender ideology’s distorted understanding and biased misrepresentation of what it means to truly love, placing the love of self and right to choose over the primordial fullness of the relationship of mutual love between a man and woman.” Joseph P. Michael, Th.D., author of Apologia Pro Sancta Maria: Mother of the Church, Mater Ecclesiae

“Marguerite Peeters accurately assesses our socio-political landscape concerning the assault upon both our philosophical and theological anthropologies. She provides the historical context and a future hope as rich as that of Tolkien’s Middle Earth where he describes Frodo’s experience with the Ring at the start of his quest–‘…with determination etched upon his face, Frodo stepped forward into the wasteland. . . . Desolation surrounded him, but within his heart burned a flame that would not be extinguished—a light to defy the encroaching shadows.’ We, too, are living under the shadow of Sauron, yet, like Frodo, move forward with the kind of hope that we know will prevail. Peeters offers within the pages of this book, in true Petrine style, a reason for that hope.” —Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marguerite A. Peeters directs Dialogue Dynamics, a Brussels-based institute specializing in the analysis of political and cultural developments at the level of global governance. She has authored several books on the globalization of the Western cultural revolution, the gender revolution and postmodernity.
 
See the EWTN interview with Jesús Colina entitled “In the Wake of Cultural Revolution” (June 18, 2008).

ABOUT THE FOREWORD

Robert Cardinal Sarah is a Guinean prelate of the Catholic Church. A cardinal since 20 November 2010, he was prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments from 23 November 2014 to 20 February 2021. Sarah previously served as secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples under Pope John Paul II and president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum under Pope Benedict XVI.Sarah has been a vocal advocate for the defense of traditional Catholic teaching on questions of sexual morality and the right to life, and in denouncing Islamic radicalism. He has called gender ideology and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) the “two radicalizations” that threaten the family: the former through divorce, same-sex marriage, and abortion; the latter with child marriage, polygamy, and the subjugation of women.
