ISBN-10: 1529156165
ISBN-13: 9781529156164
Publisher: Random House
Binding: PAPERBACK
Price: AU$29.99
Description: Life is hard, from personal trauma to the injustice and absurdity of the world, sometimes simply going on can feel too much.

In this profound and personal book, Professor of Philosophy, Kieran Setiya, shows how philosophy can help us find our way. He shares his own experience with chronic pain and the consolation that comes from making sense of it. He asks what we can learn from loneliness and loss about the value of human life. And he explores how we can fail with grace, confront injustice, and search for meaning in the face of despair.

Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy, Life is Hard is a work of solace and compassion. It draws us towards justice, for ourselves and others, by acknowledging what it means to be alive.

Meditations on Holy Week
Category: Books > Theology > Theology Books
Author/Artist: ANTHONY J KELLY CSSR
ISBN-10: 1923006800
ISBN-13: 9781923006805
Publisher: ATF Press
Binding: PAPERBACK
Price: AU$27.95
Description: In these meditations on Holy Week, Anthony J Kelly CSsR offers that kind of defamiliarisation, in order to see and understand Holy Week, its events, its characters, its images, in new ways.

As the meditations unfold, you can sense Fr Kelly's own astonishment at what is happening and what it means; and into this astonishment he invites the reader. He leads us far beyond "just another Holy Week" to a new experience of Holy Week, almost as if for the first time. The all too familiar appears in all its strangeness; and as it does a sense of astonishment emerges.
Archbishop Mark Coleridge, Brisbane

Publisher: ATF Press
Binding: PAPERBACK
Price: AU$24.95
Description: Anthony J Kelly's passionate and faith-filled book continues his long-standing story-telling practice. Although not exactly a "story", it depends upon the fundamental story of the Christian phenomenon to engage with all who may have the good fortune to take this book in their hands.

Francis J Moloney, in the preface to this book states:
It is from a graced experience of a friendship and collaboration over many years that I introduce readers to this remarkable book. I can only point to several elements in the book that make it unique. At the heart of any assessment of the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus lies the question: what sort of life did Jesus live, and what did he say and do that led to his eventual execution? For many years, in lectures, conferences and retreats, Tony has sketched his "life of Jesus" in what he called a "meditation". His sketch has always left a profound impression.

This book's opening section, "Preparation: The Way of Jesus", makes it available for a wide reading audience.

The Whole Mystery of Christ: Creation as Incarnation in Maximus Confessor
Category: Books > Theology > Philosophy
Author/Artist: JORDAN DANIEL WOOD
ISBN-10: 0268203482
ISBN-13: 9780268203481
Publisher: University of Notre Dame
Binding: PAPERBACK
Price: AU$59.95
Description: In The Whole Mystery of Christ, Wood offers a groundbreaking historical and systematic study of Maximus Confessor, one of the most influential theologians of the early Church. Wood examines Maximus's complex theological vision, especially his belief that "the Word of God, very God, wills always and in all things to actualize the mystery of his Incarnation."

The book explores Maximus's thought within the context of earlier church fathers, Christological and Trinitarian debates, monastic practices, and contemporary philosophy. Wood delves into key theological themes, including creation, the relationship between God's creation and Christ's Incarnation, deification, grace, and the nature of personhood. A central claim of the book is Maximus's view of creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) as creatio ex Deo (creation out of God) through the Word's kenosis (self-emptying). This work serves as both an in-depth exploration of Maximus's theology and a corrective to previous theological interpretations, offering a significant contribution to patristic scholarship.
