{"product_id":"a-deeper-vision-the-catholic-intellectual-tradition-in-the-twentieth-century-9781586179908","title":"A Deeper Vision: The Catholic Intellectual Tradition in the Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this wide-ranging and ambitious volume, Robert Royal, a prominent participant for many years in debates about religion and contemporary life, offers a comprehensive and balanced appraisal of the Catholic intellectual tradition in the twentieth century. The Catholic Church values both Faith and Reason, and Catholicism has given rise to extraordinary ideas and whole schools of remarkable thought, not just in the distant past but throughout the troubled decades of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyal presents in a single volume a sweeping but readable account of how Catholic thinking developed in philosophy, theology, Scripture studies, culture, literature, and much more in the twentieth century. This involves great figures, recognized as such both inside and outside the Church, such as \u003cb\u003eJacques Maritain, Bernard Lonergan, Joseph Pieper, Edith Stein, Alasdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor, Romano Guardini, Karl Rahner, Henri du Lubac, Karol Wojtyla, Joseph Ratzinger, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Charles Peguy, Paul Claudel, George Bernanos, Francois Mauriac, G. K. Chesterton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Christopher Dawson, Graham Greene, Sigrid Undset, J. R. R. Tolkien, Czeslaw Milosz\u003c\/b\u003e, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyal argues that without rigorous thought, Catholicism - however welcoming and nourishing it might be - would become something like a doctor with a good bedside manner, but who knows little medicine. It has always been the aspiration of the Catholic tradition to unite emotion and intellect, action and contemplation. But unless we know what the tradition has already produced - especially in the work of the great figures of the recent past - we will not be able to answer the challenges that the modern world poses, or even properly recognize the true questions we face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a reflective, non-polemical work that brings together various strands of Catholic thought in the twentieth century. A comprehensive guide to the recent past - and the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586179908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.01h x 4.79w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Royal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917283987637,"sku":"9781586179908","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0b340b52-bfd4-4736-97ef-13ca40bb0c15.jpg?v=1687281507","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-deeper-vision-the-catholic-intellectual-tradition-in-the-twentieth-century-9781586179908","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
