| Description: |
Aidan Nichols, now in his seventy-fifth year, looks back not only at his writings but at the three-quarters of a century of life from which they came. He moved from Anglo-Catholicism into the Roman Catholic Church. After reading Modern History at Oxford, that led by a natural progression to becoming a Religious and a priest.
Over the years, he has produced a small library of books, touching on many areas of theology and culture inspired by, principally, two great giants: Thomas Aquinas, and Hans Urs von Balthasar.
For Aidan Nichols, the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI were a halcyon time. Things have been more difficult under the successor to these popes. He explains the problems he has encountered, and his search for a resolution that is satisfactory both theologically and autobiographically. He ends his apologia with a raft of proposals for the stabilization and enrichment of ecclesial life in the decades to come. |
