  • Melodie H. Eichbauer, "Law in a Culture of Theology: The Use of Canon Law by Parisian Theologians, Ca. 1120-Ca. 1220" (Routledge, 2025)
    Nov 16 2025
    Law in a Culture of Theology: The Use of Canon Law by Parisian Theologians, ca. 1120-ca. 1220 (Routledge, 2025) considers the study of law within its intellectual environment. It demonstrates that theologians associated with the schools of Paris in the twelfth century, particularly Peter the Chanter and his circle, had a working knowledge of Romano-canonical tradition and thought about the human context of the law, which, in turn, reflected the environment in which each master worked. It begins by showing the extent to which law was woven into the fabric of the schools of Paris, and follows with individual case studies. These case studies--marriage in Hugh of St. Victor's De Sacramentis and Peter Lombard's Sententiae, excommunication in Peter the Chanter's Summa de sacramentis et animae consiliis, crusade activity and heresy in Robert of Couçon's Summa penitentiae, homicide in Robert of Flamborough's Liber poenitentialis, and the faces of greed in Thomas of Chobham's Summa confessorum--demonstrate how each theologian drew upon legal thought, for what end he was using it, and how his use of law fit into contemporary legal thinking. A competency in law proved valuable to, and was tailored for, different types of ecclesiastical roles: teachers showing students how to analytically navigate complex questions of pastoral care, papal judge-delegate on the cusp of full-time administration on behalf of the papacy, penitentiarius of St. Victor and the students at the University of Paris, or diocesan management. This book will be a useful resource for all students and researchers interested in medieval canon law, medieval theology and pre-modern law. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Lara Silverman, "Singing Through Fire: A Memoir of Finding Surprising Joy in Life's Darkest Trials" (Isaiah 4320 Press, 2025)
    Nov 15 2025
    What if you fall in love on the brink of death? Singing Through Fire (Isaiah 4320 Press, 2025) invites readers into the Job-like true story of a young woman who loses everything-and dares to ask why a good God allows it. When Stanford Law graduate Lara Palanjian collapses on her dream job, she never imagines it will lead to four years bedridden-or to the love of her life. Enter Matthew Silverman: a witty, wise, and impossibly joyful youth pastor and professor facing terminal cancer. What begins with a few random encounters soon ignites an extraordinary, God-written love story that neither of them saw coming. As their unlikely romance unfolds between medical crises, late-night laughter, and unexpected musical performances, Matthew's unshakable faith challenges everything Lara thinks she knows about God's goodness-and what it means to walk with Christlike faith, resilience, and joy in the face of overwhelming grief and suffering. But with time against them, one question looms louder than the rest: What if this gift is only for a moment? Surprisingly funny and spiritually rich, Singing Through Fire is a modern-day "Job meets Lucille Ball." It explores what it means to suffer, love, and even laugh and make music while your life is burning down around you. It eloquently gives voice to the aching questions many sufferers quietly carry-then takes readers inside the breathtaking story of two people who found miraculous love and defiant joy amid heartbreaking loss. It reveals how God can use even our deepest pain to write the most beautiful love stories-even on the cusp of eternity.Find and follow Lara on IG: here Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Józef Tischner, "The Philosophy of Drama" (U Notre Dame Press, 2024)
    Nov 12 2025
    The Philosophy of Drama (U Notre Dame Press, 2024), by the Catholic philosopher Józef Tischner (translated by Artur Rosman, University of Notre Dame Press, 2024), explores human existence as dramatic existence—shaped by encounter, dialogue, temptation, and the hope for justification or salvation. In this conversation, Rosman reflects on the challenges of translating Tischner’s work and considers how his philosophical vision illuminates the lived experiences and moral crises of twentieth-century Europe. Artur Rosman is an associate research professor at the University of Notre Dame and editor-in-chief of Church Life Journal. Nathan H. Phillips is a Ph.D. candidate (ABD) in the philosophy of religions and theology. Learn more about your ad choices.
