Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology

"This collection of essays honoring Father Matthew Lamb is a most suitable indication of his theological achievement at Ave Maria University. He initiated a solid theological MA and PhD program in 2004. All of its graduates have attained teaching positions at seminaries and universities, and now we have in these essays the early evidence of the effective training of these young theologians as scholars. This volume is a wonderful tribute."

--Stephen F. Brown, Boston College



"The essays in this engaged and engaging book powerfully challenge the reigning intellectual orthodoxy of contemporary academic theology: that theological reflection inescapably takes the form of either emotive religiosity or the dogmatic assertion of a purely perspectival point of view. Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology is a timely book, one that helpfully illumines, in both speech and deed, the sapiential path that authentic Catholic theological reflection must necessarily take today."

--Marc D. Guerra, Assumption College
