A Turning to God

By: Basil Hume

The title comes from Cardinal Hume's homily for Ash Wednesday 1977 and is a theme that reappears frequently in his writing and preaching, particularly in his Lenten addresses. This selection of previously unpublished material by Basil Hume takes the reader through Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, with a reading for each day, a reading from the Lectionary and a prayer based on the liturgical texts. Cardinal George Basil Hume (1923-1999) was Abbot of Ample forth from 1963 until his appointment as Archbishop of Westminster in 1976; he remained Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster until his death from cancer in June 1999, when he was widely mourned both nationally and internationally. His books includedMystery of the Cross, Mystery of the Incarnation and Basil in Blunderland. The texts have been edited by Patricia Hardcastle Kelly, who worked in medical publishing as the Press Office of the Bishops ' Conference of England and Wales.

The Mystery of the Cross

The Mystery of the Cross

By: Basil Hume

Why do tragedies occur? Why do the innocent have to suffer? Why do so many of us experience pain and desolation during our lives? In these profound reflections drawn from his homilies and speeches over a period of twenty years, Cardinal Basil Hume shares his own questioning, his searching, his anguish. He joins with us as a fellow pilgrim on the pathway through life, and meditates on the deep mysteries and uncertainties of our journey. The central mystery of our faith, says the Cardinal, is the cross: In the midst of the pain and suffering that it brings, it offers the possibility of hope and resurrection. Drawing on the liturgy of the Church, especially the Easter liturgy, he gently reminds us that Christ shared our pain and that "our suffering brings us closer to Christ and closer to God." He opens and closes the book with beautiful, specially written reflections on the mystery and power of the Mass. Until his death in June 1999, Basil Hume, OSB, was the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster and a monk of Ampleforth Abbey in Great Britain. One of the best-known and best-loved religious figures in the United Kingdom, he wrote several books, including To Be a Pilgrim, Searching for God, The Mystery of Love, Basil in Blunderland, and Footprints of the Northern Saints.

The Life of Wiliam Pitt Earl of Chatham

Volume 1

By: Basil Williams

Published in 1966: The object of this book is to give a picture of Pitt, true to life and ‘captivating the people,’ whom he served and loved. He has sometimes suffered in history because the people who appreciated him at his highest were inarticulate and have left the field to the surmises of courtiers, Whig magnates and gossips, whom he sought not to please.

Morality, Religious and Secular

The Dilemma of the Traditional Conscience

By: Basil Mitchell

This book analyzes the moral confusion of contemporary society, relating rival conceptions of morality with a wide variety of views about the nature and predicament of man. Mitchell argues that many secular thinkers possess a traditional "Christian" conscience which they find hard to defend in terms of an entirely secular world-view, but which is more in line with a Christian understanding of man.

How did the ancient Greeks and Persians use horses, what about Alexander the Great, Henry VIII: Wellington, who were the most celebrated horses of history..and which if them sired the leading race horses of today? It's all here, and more, in this affectionate history of that loveable, wise, mythic creature of deepest humanity and wisdom, our four-legged flying-tail faithful equine friend.

Reason, causation and compatibility with the phenomena

By: Basil Evangelidis

Reason, Causation and Compatibility with the Phenomena' strives to give answers to the philosophical problem of the interplay between realism, explanation and experience. This book is a compilation of essays that recollect significant conceptions of rival terms such as determinism and freedom, reason and appearance, power and knowledge. This title discusses the progress made in epistemology and natural philosophy, especially the steps that led from the ancient theory of atomism to the modern quantum theory, and from mathematization to analytic philosophy. Moreover, it provides possible gateways from modern deadlocks of theory either through approaches to consciousness or through historical critique of intellectual authorities. This work will be of interest to those either researching or studying in colleges and universities, especially in the departments of philosophy, history of science, philosophy of science, philosophy of physics and quantum mechanics, history of ideas and culture. Greek and Latin Literature students and instructors may also find this book to be both a fascinating and valuable point of reference.

Judicial Recourse to Foreign Law

A New Source of Inspiration?

By: Basil Markesinis,Jorg Fedtke

Accessible and clearly structured, this is the first book to include examinations of public and private law in the discussion about access to foreign laws. With commentaries by an international collection of leading judges in the field, it looks at the practice in a range of countries spread across the globe. In jurisprudence an exchange of ideas is essential, as there is no monopoly of wisdom. Legal convergence is particularly beneficial to both public law, as constitution building is done in so many parts of the world, and to commercial law, where enhanced communication, trade and information mean that people have to work more closely together. This book: examines the theme of judicial mentality and how it helps or hinders recourse to foreign ideas raises and addresses the dangers that accompany comparative law and judicial creativity looks at the practice in America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, South Africa and at the European Court of Justice. Ideal for practitioners and academics, it is an essential read for those working in or studying jurisprudence at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
