Freedom Truth And Human Dignity
$48.99Add to cartPope Paul VI characterized the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on Religious Freedom — Dignitatis Humanae — as one of the greatest documents of Vatican II. It is also perhaps the most intensely debated document of the Council; both the drafting of the Declaration of Religious Freedom and its reception have been marked by deep disagreements about what this teaching means for the Church.
In this book David Schindler and Nicholas Healy promote a deeper understanding of this important document. In addition to presenting a new translation of the approved text of the Declaration, Freedom, Truth, and Human Dignity makes available for the first time in English the five drafts of the document that were presented to the Council bishops leading up to the final version. The book also includes an original interpretive essay on Dignitatis Humanae by Schindler and an essay on the genesis and redaction history of the text by Healy.

Hauerwas : A Very Critical Introduction
$26.99Add to cartSharp, thoughtful critique of a highly respected theologian Stanley Hauerwas’s work is well known and much admired, but Nicholas Healy believes that it has not yet been subjected to the kind of sustained critical analysis that is appropriate for such a popular and controversial Christian thinker. In Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction Healy fills that critical gap.
After a general introduction to Hauerwas, Healy examines three main areas of Hauerwas’s thought: his method, his social theory, and his theology. Hauerwas’s overriding concern for ethics and church-based apologetics so dominates his thinking, says Healy, that he systematically distorts Christian doctrine and deemphasizes the triune God. Hauerwas’s project needs substantial revision, Healy argues, and he incisively illustrates how.
