A striking exmination of the harsh relities of being human, Robert Frey's Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil perceptively examines such significant foundations of American culture as religion, science, education and political experession i light fo the European Holocaust. His work offers poignant and collective re-direction for each of these areas of life, in light of the moral and social evil that have stained our century. Non-sectarian and multidisciplinary in its approach, this work offers bridge buidingg solutions of conceptual and practical understanding across epistemic and ideational divides. Historically and scientifically gorunded, Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil poses and explores difficult, probing questions about our nature, our divisions, our beliefs and our basis for hope. Frey suggests that, "for our collectives future to have meaning beyond privatized economic or religious refuge, talk must cohere into clear-minded visions and pathways illuminated by compassion, informed tolerance, sacrifice, humility and obligation directed toward the Earth, our fellow human beings, and generations unborn." He continues, "Hope, history and human culture emanate from each one of us. The results in our world are our own. Therein is our genuine power." Our Future in Light of Twentieth-Century Evil synthesizes disparate concepts in a manner accessible to all thoughtful people. A definite "must have" for every library.

The Dark Side of the Analytic Moon transports the reader to the other side of the couch where the dynamics of what it means to be taught how to explore the unconscious minds of strangers while having your own personality systematically scrutinized from all angles are presented with unprecedented candor and clarity. In this new book, Gerald Alper, whose The New England Reviews of Books called portrait of the Artist as a Young Patient 'one of the most important modern studies of the psyche of the creative personality that we have,' and who possesses, according to Dr. Jerome Levin of the Pots-Graduate Center for Mental Health, 'one of the more creative analytic minds of his generation,' brilliantly illuminates the secret life of the therapist.

The Biblical World View extends the work of cultural apologetics (Schaeffer and Rookmacker) with a critique and evaluation. It also builds on the Epistemology of David W. Wolfe. It deals with the philosophical evidence for God, the nature of design and evolution, the evidence of fulfilled prophecy, the evidence that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Resurrection from the dead. This comprehensive text book is unique and is the only one combining all of these aspects of apologetics.

Bartolomé de Cárdenas, known as "el Bermejo" (fl 1468-1495), was the most interesting painter of his generation in a time of great artistic and cultural as well as historic change in Spain. Originally from Cordoba, Bermejo appears to have received training directly in Northern Europe in the new technique of oil glazes. During his fascinating career he sometimes drew on the local "art scene" producing altarpieces of astounding quality. This monograph will examine Bermejo's career in the various cities in the Crown of Aragon where he worked: Valencia, Daroca, Zaragoza, and Barcelona.

History & Criticism

The variety of contemporary views on the sensus fidelium challenges the traditional understanding of the concept. In this study, criteria are offered for reassessing the sensus fidelium in the light of Vatican II's teaching and the concept's history. Major theological perspectives on this topic since Vatican II are surveyed and explicated.This is an important contribution to understanding the workings of Catholicism's theological development since 1962 and the development of a definition of a conceptual notion that has played an increasingly important part in councils of the Church.
