On Creation, Science, Disenchantment and the Contours of Being and Knowing

By: Matthew W. Knotts

For Augustine the world is replete with meaning; it represents not merely a collection of facts to be catalogued but a repository of truths to be discovered and discerned, a view which contrasts with the one we have inherited as a result of the thought of figures such as Descartes, Newton, and Kant. What difference would it make to see the world as created? Matthew W. Knotts explores this question in close conversation with Augustine, according to whom our nature as God's creatures determines fundamental aspects of our identity and our knowledge. In a postmodern context informed by a renewed appreciation of the limitations of human nature and reason, Augustine once again emerges as an insightful and compelling source for further reflection.

On Interrogation, Introspection, Dialectic and the Ineluctable Polarity of Being and Knowing

By: Matthew W. Knotts

This work considers the fundamentally “oppositional” structure of reality, viewing Augustine as a “Christian Heraclitus” and focusing on his conception of dialectic. Matthew W. Knotts situates Augustine's anthropology within a classical Roman philosophical context, while characterizing his intellect by continuous questioning. In this way, the book grounds a constructive philosophical-theological enquiry in an historical-critical study of the sources and their context.

Soul-Making by Grace

Purgatory's Past, Present, and Future

By: Matthew S. Hendzel

Purgatory holds a precarious position in the afterlife beliefs of most Christians. Often viewed as a doctrine that is held only by Roman Catholics, purgatory has historically been maligned by its detractors as unbiblical, theologically problematic, and a product (and source) of superstition. Moreover, it would appear that belief in purgatory has declined in the faith-lives of Catholics as well, many of whom now seem keen to forget the fears and anxieties that its existence might have raised for them about the afterlife. In response to such criticisms and concerns, this book argues that purgatory can indeed be a constructive and hope-filled component of any Christian understanding of the afterlife. In examining the history of the doctrine, it seeks answers that explain purgatory’s recent descent into obscurity. However, it also pursues present insights that can shed new light onto how purgatory might find renewed relevancy.

Reason & Rigor

How Conceptual Frameworks Guide Research

By: Sharon M. Ravitch,Matthew Riggan

Designed for novice as well as more experienced researchers, Reason & Rigor by Sharon M. Ravitch and Matthew Riggan presents conceptual frameworks as a mechanism for aligning literature review, research design, and methodology. The book explores the conceptual framework—defined as both a process and a product—that helps to direct and ground researchers as they work through common research challenges. Focusing on published studies on a range of topics and employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, the updated Second Edition features two new chapters and clearly communicates the processes of developing and defining conceptual frameworks.

Image, Identity, and the Forming of the Augustinian Soul

By: Matthew Drever

In our current pluralist context, there is no clearly designated means of valuing or defining the human person. Matthew Drever shows that in the writings of St. Augustine we find a concept of the human person that is fluid, tenuous, prone to great good and great vice, and influenced deeply by the wider spiritual and material environment. Through an examination of his account of the human relation to God, Drever demonstrates how Augustine can offer a crucial resource for a religious reorientation and revaluation of the human person. Drever focuses particularly on the concepts of the imago dei and creatio ex nihilo, significant for their influence on Augustine's understanding of the human person and for their potential to bridge his and our own world. Though rooted in Augustine's early work, these concepts are developed fully in his later writings: his Genesis commentaries and On the Trinity in particular. Drever examines how in these later writings the origin (creatio ex nihilo) and identity (imago dei) of the human person intersect with Augustine's understanding of creation, Christ, and the Trinity. Image, Identity, and the Forming of the Augustinian Soul constructs an interpretation of Augustine's view of the person that acknowledges its classical context while also addressing contemporary theological and philosophical appropriations of Augustine and the issues that animate them.

The Practice of Patience

By: Thomas Goodwin,C. Matthew McMahon

In "The Practice of Patience," Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680) delivers a biblical exploration of patience as an essential Christian virtue, rooted in James 1. Revealing patience not just as endurance but a divine grace, Goodwin guides readers through the multifaceted dimensions of this virtue, emphasizing its transformative effect on character and faith. Drawing on Scripture and theological insights, he illuminates patience's relevance to modern life and its role as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, fostering humility, trust, and dependence on God, to the glory of Jesus Christ. He establishes the theological foundation of patience, exploring its origin in God's character and manifestation through the life of Christ. He connects patience intricately to God's redemptive plan and highlights its cultivation of joy, peace, and spiritual maturity. Through exegesis of key biblical passages (especially James), Goodwin demonstrates how patience acts as a refining fire, purifying and strengthening the believer's faith. Furthermore, Goodwin examines patience's role in the believer's journey, emphasizing its link to true Christian faith and its divine power in shaping character. He offers practical guidance on prayer, meditation, and study of God's Word as disciplines to develop this transformative virtue. He also challenges readers to embrace patience as a means to experience Christ's promised abundant life. Goodwin's compassionate and accessible writing makes this timeless masterpiece engaging for readers from all walks of life. Whether navigating personal trials or seeking a deeper understanding of God's character, this work will inspire and encourage a journey of patience as both a divine fruit of faith and a learned virtue. May the wisdom of Goodwin's exposition guide you toward the divine virtue of patience, inspiring you to persevere, grow in faith, and find comfort in the unchanging love of our patient God. Experience the transformative power of patience, and embrace the journey filled with insight, encouragement, and timeless wisdom from Scripture.
