"The style and tone of the writing is just right. In fact, many times the text reads like a story. The author's scholarship imbues the text but is kept somewhat in the background, and thus does not get in the way."
-Paul Wadell, PhDSaint Norbert's College, De Pere, Wisconsin
"Father Givey brings to life once again the man, the monk, and the mystic who helped to shape the soul of his own generation and who continues to offer a vision of 'peace for the future'"

"Catholic Ethics in Today's World is excellent for introducing students to moral reasoning in a genuinely theological context. The authors stress the positive dimension of ethics, quickly breaking through students' stereotypes about Catholic ethics as rule-bound and constricting. The chapters on controversial issues present the reasoning behind official Catholic teaching very cogently, which sets just the right foundation for critical yet constructive dialogue in the classroom."
-Dr. Brian StiltnerAssociate Professor, Dept. of Philosophy and Religious StudiesSacred Heart University
"This text fills a real need for a challenging introductory text in Catholic Theology. It is beatifully conceived, well written, inviting, and full of splendid resources rarely, if ever, found in comparable texts. I have used it with succes and recommend it highly."
-David Gentry-AkinAssociate Professor of Theology Saint Mary's College of California, Morraga, CA
"Professor Christopher McMahon centers his ecclesiology firmly on the Paschal Mystery, and rightly so. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship in Scripture, history, liturgy, systematics, and ethics, he provides a contemporary, ecumenically sensitive, and practical vision of the Church that will challenge students’ minds and inspire their imaginations. Called Together is a terrific textbook!"
-William P. Loewe, PhDAssociate Professor of Historical and Systematic TheologyCatholic University of America, Washington, DC
"Dr. Stewart presents a history of the Catholic Church in a very engaging and reader friendly manner. She prompts students to think of where we are now and how we have gotten here. I believe Cynthia Stewart has succeeded in presenting a 'popular history.'"

"Mark Allman's Who Would Jesus Kill? gives students insight into the just war tradition."

"Green Discipleship will be a wonderful textbook for teachers and students. Faculty will find that the twenty-one essays cover a wide range of topics for a course on theology and the environment. Undergraduate students will find the essays written in a style that is accessible and with content that is informative. Helpful features that include review and reflection questions, an extensive glossary of terms, a bibliography, and an essay on library research make this volume a first-rate educational resource."
-Kenneth R. Himes, OFM Department of Theology Boston College
"The introductory nature of this book would be espeically useful where its combination of foundational theology and theology of marriage could be the course focus. It is a foil for doing fundamental theology with strong material on marriage."
-Daniel J. FinucaneSaint Louis University
"Celia Deane-Drummond's new book provides a wonderful resource for those who are new to ecological theology as well as for those who have been long involved. She maps the field in a way that is accessible and user-friendly. Her approach is critical, intelligent, and learned, the fruit of her grounding in science as well as in theology, and of love for creation as well as her strong commitment to the Christian tradition."
-The Rev. Dr. Denis EdwardsUniversity of Flinders, Australia
"I think the Glossary would be a fantastic resource for RCIA or adult confirmation. I will recommend it for such contexts when I have the chance."
