The Achievement of Hans Urs von Balthasar
Matthew Levering
Catholic University of America Press, 2019
In The Achievement of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Matthew Levering has written a book for theologically educated readers who mistrust von Balthasar or who mistrust von Balthasar’s critics. The book shows that von Balthasar’s critics can and should benefit both from the rich and wide-ranging conversations that mark his trilogy and from the critical and constructive engagement with German philosophical modernity offered by the trilogy. In addition, Levering hopes to show that those who mistrust von Balthasar’s critics need to be more Balthasarian in their response to criticisms of the Swiss theologian.

The Development of Dogma
A Systematic AccountGuy Mansini, OSB
Catholic University of America Press, 2023
The Development of Dogma examines the nature of dogmatic statements and the causes of development. It devotes particular attention to the emergence of the form of dogmatic statements at the Council of Nicaea, but notes how this form is anticipated in the New Testament. It situates dogma and its development within the matrix of the great fundamental theological realities of Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium. Fr. Mansini examines at some length how the Church comes to recognize a development as a genuine development rather than as a distortion of the word of God. The Development of Dogma is especially valuable today for its discussion and defense of the philosophical presuppositions of dogma, which are often simply presupposed but should not be ignored in a complete account of development. These presuppositions touch on fundamental philosophical issues, including the nature of knowledge, the objectivity and trustworthiness of names, and the various logical forms employed in understanding how development is related to a closed revelation. The historicity of human knowledge is also addressed, and the role of dogma itself in heading off the extreme relativism the historical nature of man is supposed to imply for ecclesial faith and life. The Church's dogma about dogma enunciated at the First Vatican Council is also examined. The role of certain fundamental concepts in understanding the possibility of the irreformability of dogma it speaks of is expressly addressed—concepts in principle accessible to all human beings and that enable a trans-cultural, trans-temporal proposal and reception of revealed truth.

The Testimony of Two Nations
How the Book of Mormon Reads, and Rereads, the BibleMichael Austin
University of Illinois Press, 2024
Understanding the Book of Mormon on its own terms and through its two-way connection with the Bible
Like the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible, the Book of Mormon uses narratives to develop ideas and present instruction. Michael Austin reveals how the Book of Mormon connects itself to narratives in the Christian Bible with many of the same tools that the New Testament used to connect itself to the Hebrew Bible to create the Christian Bible. As Austin shows, the canonical context for interpreting the Book of Mormon includes the Christian Bible, the Book of Mormon itself, and other writings and revelations that hold scriptural status in most Restoration denominations. Austin pays particular attention to how the Book of Mormon connects itself to the Christian Bible both to form a new canon and to use the canonical relationship to reframe and reinterpret biblical narratives. This canonical context provides an important and fruitful method for interpreting the Book of Mormon.

The Trinity
On the Nature and Mystery of the One GodThomas Joseph White, OP
Catholic University of America Press, 2021
The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith. What can we say about the divine nature, and what does it mean to say that God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three persons who are one in being? In this book, best selling author Thomas Joseph White, OP, examines the development of early Christian reflection on the Trinity, arguing that essential contributions of Patristic theology are preserved and expanded in the thought of Thomas Aquinas.
By focusing on Aquinas’ theology of the divine nature as well as his treatment of divine personhood, White explores in depth the mystery of Trinitarian monotheism. The Trinity: On the Nature and Mystery of the One God also engages with influential proposals of modern theologians on major topics such as Trinitarian creation, Incarnation and crucifixion, and presents creative engagements with these topics. Ultimately any theology of the cross is also a theology of the Trinity, and this book seeks to illustrate how the human life, death, and resurrection of Jesus reveal the inner life of God as Trinity.

Trinitarian Explorations in Systematic Theology
Unpacking Lonergan's Four-Point HypothesisNeil Ormerod
Catholic University of America Press, 2026
In his Latin theological textbook, Bernard Lonergan proposed a way of correlating the four trinitarian relations (paternity, filiation, active spiration and passive spiration) with four distinct participations in the divine nature vis. the Incarnation, the beatific vision, sanctifying grace and the habit of charity. This book uncovers the genetic origins of this hypothesis in Augustine and Aquinas, its significance in terms of the grace-nature debate, and the insights it provides to key Christian doctrines such as Christology, ecclesiology, the nature of holiness, and the beatific vision. The author engages with contemporary theological literature to demonstrate the explanatory power of Lonergan’s construct in relation to competing proposals.
Vatican I taught that the role of systematic theology is to understand divine mysteries through analogy and through the nexus between these mysteries. This work argues that Lonergan’s hypothesis perfectly fulfils the second of these tasks and thus provides a needed unification of the diverse topics that confront systematic theologians.
Each individual chapter has appeared in leading theological journals: Theological Studies, Irish Theological Quarterly and Louvain Studies. The chapters are ordered here not in terms of publication date, but in such a way as to guide the reader through a more synthetic grasp of the issues involved.
