opens with a critical review of developments in Protestant and Catholic theology since the Reformation which have led to the steady neglect of aesthetics in Christian theology. Then, von Balthasar turns to the central theme of the volume, the question of theological knowledge. He re-examines the nature of Christian believing, drawing widely on such theological figures as Anselm, Pascal and Newman.

In Volume Two/2 catholic theology treats some of the great Western attempts at reflecting on the nature of God; it also takes on modern Western religiosity, both as it professes belief in God and as it has settled for various forms of atheism. But more importantly, the book discovers and rediscovers the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Moses and the prophets the God of Jesus Christ. Frans Jozef van Beeck, born in the Netherlands in1930, a Jesuit since 1948, and a priest since 1963, has lived and learned (and taught) in the United States since 1968. He is a senior professor of theology at Loyola University, Chicago.

Part I of this work determines where Paul is dependent on Jewish and Hellenistic exegesis of the Moses story where he provides a fresh interpretation. Part II brings form-critical studies of the Greek papyri to bear on the epistolary function of these verses. Part III investigates first-century homiletic patterns, exegetical techniques and material parallels in order to illuminate the sequence of Paul's thought. At issue in these verses is Paul's apostolic credibility. Paul selectively weaves together text, tradition and haggadah, using accepted methods of text interpretation and a common Jewish homiletical form, to provide his readers with reliable standards of apostolic accreditation and to defend himself against those who sought to discredit him as a failure in reaching his own people.

Among other contributions, Currivean’s book explores a biblical philosophy of Christian education with unprecedented breadth and depth. To accomplish this objective, it considers what education is (chapter 1), what philosophy of education is (chapter 2), and what the ultimate goal of education is (chapter 3). Additionally, this book provides a never-before, Christian overview of twelve philosophies of education (chapters 4–15).
