| Description: |
Drawing on Bernard Lonergan's insights as well as the rich Catholic intellectual tradition, the authors guide readers through the essential structures of human knowing: experience, understanding, judgment, and decision. They also address pressing ethical and theological questions: What does it mean to be made in the image of God? How do we preserve human dignity in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence?
Accessible yet rigorous, this book speaks to scholars, students, clergy, and interested readers. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, scientific methodology, philosophy, and theology, and for those seeking to understand what makes us irreducibly human in an era of rapid technological change. |

| Description: |
Before becoming Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost had never published a book. But shortly after his election to the papacy, Leo chose his first published collection of writings to capture the heart of his spirituality; forged by the conviction that "man is not defined by what he possesses or what he knows, but rather by what he loves."
This collection comes from Prevost's time overseeing the Order of Saint Augustine where he has drawn on the rich tradition of Saint Augustine. He offers an inspiring vision rooted in community and solidarity, commitment to social justice for the poor and marginalized, and the confidence that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what the world most desperately needs to face today's challenges.
For anyone looking to Pope Leo for wisdom and pastoral guidance, this is essential reading, delivering profound spiritual depth, penetrating theological insight, and unwavering moral courage. |

What happens when AI hits the singularity and gains the ability to recursively self-improve?
Could we fully outsource our own thinking to AI that we make ourselves obsolete?
Could machines become so intelligent that it is game over for humanity?
Walsh explores the issues, evaluates the dangers and considers what we can do to prevent AI harms before it is too late.

| Description: |
From the late Roman Empire onwards, monasteries and convents were a common sight throughout Europe. But who were monasteries for? What kind of people founded and maintained them? And how did monasticism change over the thousand years or so of the Middle Ages?
Andrew Jotischky traces the history of monastic life from its origins in the fourth century to the sixteenth. He shows how religious houses sheltered the poor and elderly, cared for the sick, and educated the young. They were centres of intellectual life that owned property and exercised power but also gave rise to new developments in theology, music, and art.
This book brings together the Orthodox and western stories, as well as the experiences of women, to show the full picture of medieval monasticism for the first time. It is a fascinating, wide-ranging account that broadens our understanding of life in holy orders as never before. |

| Description: |
Towards the end of her life, Simone Weil (1909-43) was working on a tragedy, Venice Saved. Appearing in English for the first time, this play explores the realisation of Weil's own thoughts on tragedy. A figure of affliction, a central theme in Weil's religious metaphysics, the central character offers a unique insight into Weil's broader philosophical interest in truth and justice, and provides a fresh perspective on the wider conception of tragedy itself.
Set during a 1618 plot by Spanish mercenaries to sack Venice, the play follows Jaffier, who betrays the conspirators out of compassion for the city's beauty. This edition includes an introduction to Weil's life and thought, notes on the play and its translation, and further reading, opening a new perspective on Weil as a literary figure. |

| Description: |
Have you ever wondered what the Twelve Apostles did once the excitement of the Day of Pentecost died down?
In the early chapters of Acts it seems as if Peter and John were the only ones doing anything much for the Lord.
Yet in the book of Revelation John saw the names of all twelve apostles on the foundations of the New Jerusalem.
Jesus had promised that in His future kingdom the apostles would sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
It seems each died a martyr, apart from John for the faith he had so boldly proclaimed.
