| Giving us a new look at the important work of the much-beloved Thomas Aquinas, this book reminds us that he went beyond philosophy and theology-his Christian practice was elevated to mysticism by gifts of the Holy Spirit. This anthology presents a selection of his writings including his commentaries on the Bible and other little-explored works chosen for their focus on the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian life. Topics include: grace the primacy of love the organic structure of the Christian community the charisms of the spirit the prayer of praise the mystic marriage and the eucharist. |

| Rightly renowned for his articulation of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist by transubstantiation, St. Thomas deserves also to be regarded as a master of liturgics. As Berger shows, St. Thomas provides a supremely incarnational view of the Christian liturgy, in which man, as a body-soul unity, is drawn with the angels into Christ's redemptive sacrifice. |

| Few British pastors can claim to have written a book that is amongst the 'life-books of their generation', yet Boston is one. His Fourfold State of Man has been the instrument of countless conversions and could be said to have changed the zeitgeist of his era as effectively as Luther's Commentary on Galations, Alleine's Alarm to the Unconverted, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Edwards' Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Wilberforce's True Christianity or Lewis' Mere Christianity.Thomson shows that Boston was not only a dedicated and adept Pastor-Scholar but also someone whose influence has lasted through the Victorian era until the present day revival in his theological writings. A Hebrew Scholar of the first rank, Boston was also fluent in Greek and Latin and competent in French and Dutch.He was a humble man, a compassionate pastor and a stern man when principles were at stake. Boston disliked controversy yet took a central role in the major controversies of his time. Above all, however, his life was characterised by his heart of service to his church. When he could no longer stand his sermons were delivered from an armchair in the pulpit, when he could no longer get to the church, he preached from the open window of the manse. This is the remarkable story of one of the key figures of the 18th century church who influenced nations from a small rural Parish, and continues to do so today. |

| "He was something of a legendary figure among the old boys of his generation and he was clearly something of a rebel." That description of Thomas Merton by his English headmaster influenced this captivating introductory look at the monk-writer and his works. Merton scholar William H. Shannon presents Merton's life story "to suggest that this mid-twentieth-century writer can speak meaningfully to women and men now several years into a new century, to develop...some of the themes that make their way through his writings, and to suggest a possible order for reading his books as one enters into the huge library of Mertoniana." |
