Meister Eckhart

The Complete Mystical Works of Meister EckhartTranslated by Maurice O’C WalsheWith a Foreword by Bernard McGinn

For the first time, you can own Meister Eckhart’s complete mystical teachings in one volume. With a new introduction by Bernard McGinn and Walshe’s elegant translation, this comprehensive and authoritative work is a blessing for every serious spiritual seeker, and the finest volume on Eckhart ever to appear in English.

Meister Eckhart, the great Christian mystical writer and philosopher, presented his works in two forms. The Latin works introduce his thought in more analytic detail and precision. He used his German (vernacular and popular) works to introduce his more personal reflec-tions—his mystical writings on the poverty of spirit, the birth of Christ in the soul, and other themes for which he is renowned. This new treasury contains the entire text of all the mystical works of Meister Eckhart, making it the authoritative volume on Meister Eckhart’s enduring legacy to Western Christianity and to all seekers of truth.

A Herder & Herder book 978-0-8245-2517-0$98.00 hc / 640 pages / metallicized jacket

“ If mysticism in the traditional Western sense implies communion with God, then there is a real sense in which Eckhart may be said to go beyond this, for according to him the soul has to proceed beyond ‘God’ to the nameless Oneness of the ‘Godhead.’ ... Eckhart speaks with authority born of personal experience. But the ‘object’ of that experi-ence is strictly indescribable and ineffable. It can be hinted at and to some extent defined by what it is not. This, of course, is the way of the so-called negative (or apophatic) theology.”

Why classic spirituality? Why Ignatian spirituality?

Fr. Gallagher: Not many decades ago, the use of classic method in prayer appeared confining: such constraints once removed, a person would be truly free to pray in the Spirit. Uninstructed “freedom,” however, has proven inadequate, and today we witness renewed interest in classic teaching about prayer—classic, because such teaching answers the perennial questions: How do I begin to pray? Which approach is best suited for me? How may I understand my experience at prayer? My struggles in prayer? The artist taught by a skilled master is truly free to create beauty; the spiritual person, taught by a skilled master, is truly free to pray. Among these masters, St. Ignatius of Loyola excels in offering wise, flexible, and effective teaching about prayer.

In the few years since his first book appeared, Timothy M. Gallagher, O.M.V. has emerged as one of the greatest interpreters of the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola. Tens of thousands of readers have already turned to Fr. Gallagher’s books for reli-able, inspirational, and clear explanations of some of the most important aspects of Christian spirituality. Whether you’re a spiritual director, priest or minister, long-time spiritual seeker, or beginner, Fr. Gallagher’s books have much to offer you in different moments in life. To learn more about the work of this Boston-based scholar and popular retreat leader and lecturer, and to inquire about his availability for speaking, please visit http://frtimothygallagher.org

“Only Thomas Merton and C.S. Lewis have had a comparable impact on Christian spirituality in the United States.” –America Magazine

... Michael, a core member at L’Arche community near Toronto who cannot walk or speak ... Hillary Clinton, then First Lady in Washing-ton D.C., one of the most listened-to people in the world ... The late Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, a beacon of forgiveness and charity to millions ... Whether it is a famous politician, a volunteer in Namibia, or a seminarian in England, people around the world share admiration and enthusiasm for the life and work of the internationally renowned priest and author, professor Henri Nouwen. Without doubt, Father Nouwen has shaped the spirituality of several generations.

Invited to Washington, D.C., to give a lecture on Christian Leadership of the Future, Nouwen demonstrated his own style of leadership by bringing with him a member of the community of the mentally handicapped he served at Daybreak, in Toronto. What is he to do when, standing at center stage and acknowledging the applause following his lecture, Bill walks up to him and asks if he, too, may address the audience? Here is a lesson in Christian leadership the reader will never forget: identifying the three temptations that everyone faces, Nouwen shows us how to make leadership truly Christian, by admitting our weaknesses and embracing Christ as the source of forgive-ness and integrity.

Francis Cardinal George, OMI

The Difference God MakesA Catholic Vision of Faith, Communion, and Culture

Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., the arch bishop of Chicago, combines robust scholarship with pastoral warmth in this new book. As one of the leading intellectuals in the Catholic hierarchy, he has a vision of the Catholic faith influenced by the greatest theologians and authors in the Church’s two-thousand-year tradition, from the scripture writers and Church Fathers to modern-day saints such as Katharine Drexel, as well as Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. The central theme of the book is universal communion. “The deepest truth that Catholics proclaim is that of communio,” he writes. “All things and all people are ordered to God and ordered in love to one another.” This shared identity calls us to see every aspect of our lives differently, whether the upheavals of globalization, the increasing role of the laity in the Church, interreligious dialogue, or the conversation between liberal and conservative Catholics.

“At the end of the Eucharistic Prayer, the priest lifts the consecrated host and the chalice and tells the people that we glorify God the Father ‘through, with, and in’ Christ Jesus, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. These words proclaim the very life of the Blessed Trinity and call believers to a deeper understanding of the Church’s own life and nature. To live at the depth necessary to establish ecclesial communion, believers have to live not just with others or in com-munity with them. They must live through others.”

Francis Cardinal George, OMI, is the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. A native of Chicago, he has served as vicar general of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate; bishop of Yakima, Washington; archbishop of Portland, Oregon; and archbishop of Chicago. He was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope John Paul II in 1998.

Q: “Why do you call your books The Bad Catholic’s Guides?

John Zmirak: “The answer is honesty. Take our faith seriously, and you’ll find yourself falling short, and conceive of yourself as a sinner. I also think that humor is the best catechist. Modern Americans don’t lose their faith by reading Jack Chick pamphlets or Christopher Hitchens books, but after watching dozens of George Carlin routines that render the Church ridiculous. In these books I turn the tables, and show up the absurdity of the World, the Flesh, and the Devil… so people can laugh themselves right back into good habits… maybe even monastic habits.”

“There really is a uniquely Catholic perspective on living family life.”–Greg Popcak

“ I can safely guarantee that all who read Holy Sex! will find something new and helpful, will laugh a lot and may even be shocked at what Dr. Popcak reveals to be compatible with Catholic teaching.” –Janet E. Smith, Ph.D., Sacred Heart Major Seminary

Q: What makes the Catholic family different?

Greg Popcak: Many people are surprised at the idea that there is really a uniquely Catholic perspec-tive on living family life. Catholics have a tendency to be Catholic in piety but to mirror the popular culture as far as the way we approach marriage, parenting, and family life in general. But when we do this, we miss out on a vast bounty of resources that can help Catholics create uncommonly rich and joy-ful family lives. Catholics have very different insights into family life from our secular and even Protestant Christian counterparts. What makes the Catholic family different? How can Catholics create the “communities of love” that enable them to experience all the virtues that enable them to live life as a gift? When we dive into the deep water that is Catholic tradition and our theology of family life, we discover new and exciting ways to experience the fullness of family relationships.

“ Fasting is experienced as the process of one’s own development.” –Hellmut Luetzner

“Every person carries within the ability to change to fasting mode. We just need to relearn how to activate the switch. Certainly, a trained body switches more easily than when one fasts for the first time. The formula “Fasting = Living without Food” is a natural part of our being on this earth. Therefore, it seems strange that most people still do not know about this possibility. The idea that one can live without food and even be productive seems un-fathomable. Some fear hunger, sickness, even death. While such prejudices still seem to hold up, we just need to look around in nature to learn better.”

F R O M T H E N E W L I F E F A S T I N G B O O K :

Dr. Hellmut Luetzner specializes in internal medicine with a focus on fasting. From early child-hood, he learned about fasting from his parents who were regular practitioners of the discipline. Since 1975, he has lead and developed the Fasting clinic in Ueberlingen at the Lake of Constance, a center for practical fasting in Germany. Parallel to a TV series on the subject, Dr. Luetzner produced this bestselling book that has been updated and further enhanced over the last quarter century. Together with Dr. Luetzner’s cookbook, developed with a renowned Berlin chef for “Eating after Fasting,” this book has become the main textbook for the education of Fasting Counselors as offered by the Academy of Fasting in Jena, Germany.

How Balthasar Changed My Mind15 Scholars Reflect on the Meaning of Balthasar for Their Own Work

This book is an essential resource for those hoping to understand Balthasar’s theology in its own right and its integration into the main currents of contemporary theology.

“In this book we see the same phenomenon at work as happened soon after the deaths of Augustine and Aquinas: a slowly dawning realization that here is a theologian who must be wrestled with, a wrestling match that will result in no less than a changing of minds. Some authors represented here are more re-sistant to the lure of Balthasar than others; but even their struggle proves the point. I feel sure that this book, too, will change minds. Read it at your own risk, for you will be different after setting it down.” –Edward T. Oakes, S.J., University of St. Mary of the Lake, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Hans Urs von Balthasar and author of Patterns of Redemp-tion: The Theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar

Herder & Herder–Books For Theology and Church

As work in service to all of the Church and to the world, Catholic theology never occurs in a vacuum. At its best, it is the endeavor of one generation to prayerfully interpret and share what it has inherited from those who have gone before. To honor a faith that is “ever ancient and ever new,” Herder & Herder is pleased to present books that span several eras – works from countless contemporary thinkers in theological discourse, as well as reprints of earlier classic theologi-cal texts and first books from brilliant theologians who are still early in their careers. Authors include: Karl Adam, Erin Lothes Biviano, Michael Buckley, Otto Casel, Henri de Lubac, Avery Dulles, Romano Guardini, Grant Kaplan, Walter Kasper, Karen Kilby, Michael E. Lee, Johann Baptist Metz, Johann Adam Möhler, Kevin Mongrain, Anna Bonta Moreland, Karl Rahner, Hugo Rahner, Christopher Ruddy, Matthias Scheeben, Christoph Schonborn, Elisabeth Schuessler Fiorenza, Anselm Stolz, David Tracy, and Friedrich von Hügel.

“ For what is important to the theolo-gians, religious thinkers, and religious believers who come after is the think-ing, not the thinker, and the essential Balthasarian vision of the polyphony of the theological and nontheologi-cal tradition that can, nonetheless, be resolved into a symphony.” –Cyril O’Regan

Yves CongarI Believe in the Holy SpiritBy one of the great theologians of the 20th century, this is one of the few comprehensive treatments of the Church’s understanding of the Spirit and the working of the Spirit in the life of the Church by a Roman Catholic theologian.
