We have all had the experience of being at church and hearing the pastor say, "And now with the confidence of children we are bold to pray, 'Our Father . . .'" but before we know it we are saying "for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." In the very moment of intimacy when we are given the privilege of entering the presence of our heavenly Father, our minds have drifted off.

An essential guide for understanding early Christian doctrineThe history of Christian theology is often presented as a series of conflicts between orthodox believers and heretics.

But he is also a popular preacher and, paradoxically, someone unafraid of deeper speculations regarding the meaning of the Christian ideal.

So much contact with the uncanny has left him split, though; one half weak, a perpetual victim, the other half consumed by anger and pain. Can the same powers that split him in half reunite him once more, and balance the division?

Orpheus has vowed never to touch a woman, play music or sing again if he can't be with his wife. Since he cannot cross the river Styx, he has spent millennia wandering. Others are watching him, though, and waiting to balance the natural order of things. Can a boy who was almost sold into a life of sexual slavery teach this immortal to love again before it's too late? The sequel to the underground hit Stealing Ganymede.

The order of virtues considered is that followed by the spiritual sons of St. Alphonsus in the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. For each month of the year is assigned a particular virtue to which they are to devote their especial attention. This is a practice highly recommended by the masters of the spiritual life, and is fraught with the happiest results.

By the time of the interwar years the varied approaches often grouped together under the banner of Institutionalism had become firmly established as one of the most influential schools of thought in American economics. This is a collection of writings on the topic.
