| Description: |
A major new history of medieval monasticism, from the fourth to the sixteenth century
From the late Roman Empire onwards, monasteries and convents were a common sight throughout Europe. But who were monasteries for? What kind of people founded and maintained them? And how did monasticism change over the thousand years or so of the Middle Ages?
Andrew Jotischky traces the history of monastic life from its origins in the fourth century to the sixteenth. He shows how religious houses sheltered the poor and elderly, cared for the sick, and educated the young. They were centres of intellectual life that owned property and exercised power but also gave rise to new developments in theology, music, and art.
This book brings together the Orthodox and western stories, as well as the experiences of women, to show the full picture of medieval monasticism for the first time. It is a fascinating, wide-ranging account that broadens our understanding of life in holy orders as never before. |

| Description: |
In the fourth century AD, a new faith emerged from Palestine and rapidly challenged the pagan traditions of Rome. Christianity converted Emperor Constantine and overcame rival beliefs, eventually becoming dominant across Europe. By the early medieval period, Christian rulers governed the continent, and the religion was deeply embedded in society. Yet, as Peter Heather argues, this outcome was far from inevitable.
Heather explores how Christianity evolved from a small, scattered sect into a mass movement directed from Rome. He shows how Christendom survived repeated crises, including the collapse of the Roman Empire, which nearly led to its extinction. Constantly confronting heresies and competing beliefs, the Church demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt, reinvent itself, and employ force when needed.
Over time, the Papacy became the head of a powerful international institution. Christendom's greatest achievement was transforming Christianity into an organized authority capable of unifying and governing the diverse peoples of medieval Europe. |

| Description: |
The great problem of our time, according to Victorino Perez Prieto, is superficiality, living on the surface, indifferent to Reality, unaware of our relationship with everything. The consequences are both spiritual and existential, since they directly threaten the health of our planet and all its creatures.
Science, philosophers, the intuitions of the mystics, the "green" tradition in Christianity, and the wisdom of the great religious traditions all point to the interrelationship of all things.
Pope Francis confirmed this perspective in Laudato Si?, describing reality as a seamless garment, where everything is connected and intertwined. This is the essential principle of ecology, and it is the basis in Unity and Harmony for a comprehensive ecospirituality that meets the challenge of our time. |

| Description: |
Kwame Anthony Appiah argues that modern social science emerged through the study of religion, which early thinkers treated as central to understanding society itself. Focusing on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century figures such as Edward Burnett Tylor, Emile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber, Appiah shows how their attempts to define, or deliberately avoid defining, religion shaped the development of sociology as a discipline. For these scholars, religion was not just an object of analysis but a conceptual framework for thinking about social cohesion, meaning, and values.
Appiah highlights how the strengths and limits of their theories continue to influence contemporary social thought. He also connects these foundational debates to later work in interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology, which explore how communities form beliefs. By blending history, philosophy, and narrative, Appiah demonstrates that our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions. |

"Lord, teach us to pray." Luke 11:1
As disciples of Christ, we are constantly learning how to pray. It involves learning about ourselves, learning about our God, learning about our journey in life as individuals and as members of the community called the church.
The cover image depicting the formation of Adam, from the cathedral in Chartres, inspires how we think about our God, gentle, tender, loving. And revealed even more lovingly in Jesus of Nazareth whose Gospel teaching about prayer was firmly based on an understanding of God as Father, love personified, forgiving, accepting, compassionate.
The book explores the nature of prayer, its place in Scripture, in the liturgy of the church, in personal and community devotions. It also acknowledges our occasional difficulties in praying by giving sound, practical suggestions about how we pray, finding time for prayer, and the Lord's ongoing invitation to open our minds and hearts to prayer and its place in our life journey in faith. |

| Description: |
The first American Pope's words for the world reveal themes to his leadership: peace, hope, and unity.
"I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world. Peace be with you!"
This collection of sermons and speeches Pope Leo XIV has delivered since his May 8, 2025, election, include:
- his First Apostolic blessing, delivered to the Central Loggia of the Vatican Basilica
- "Called to Be a Light of Hope," his video message to the young people of Chicago and the whole world
- "The compass of natural law," his Address to Members of the International Inter-Parliamentary Union...and more.
These addresses convey some of Pope Leo XIV's vision for the future: the primacy of God, communion in the Church, and the pursuit of peace. His countless calls for reconciliation are addressed not only to politics, but to the heart of every person. He shows us that unity is possible, and it begins in our hearts.
In his own words, Pope Leo XIV welcomes us all into communion and calls us to act to protect our shared humanity and our precious home. |
