These pages offer a new edition of Yves Congar's A History of Theology, which was originally published in the 1960s. This work began as a lengthy article appearing in the multi-volume Dictionnaire de Theologie in 1946 entitled 'Theologie'. Congar wrote that he, Fr M-D Chenu OP, and Fr Henri-Marie Feret OP in the 1930s planned a book of this type.

Regional bird field guides are few and far between in South Australia and Chris Baxter's photographic guide to the birds of Kangaroo Island is the stand-out in this genre. This comprehensive account covers all 267 bird species recorded on the Island or offshore over the seas. It builds on the annotated list produced by the same author in 1989 and revised in 1995. The photographs provided by some of Australia's most highly regarded photographers beautifully illustrate the detailed descriptions of the birds, their habits, habitats, breeding, status, abundance and distribution on the Island. In addition there are recommendations on where to look for each species, with cautions about not getting too close to endangered birds and their nests. Chris Baxter has called on a lifetime of bird watching on Kangaroo Island and observations from visitors and residents to present an attractive field guide that is a must for all birdwatchers from casual observers to serious ornithologists.

China was bulked large in the imagination of the Catholic Church for 500 years. It had been central to the missionary dream of the Jesuits for almost as long. However, only with this book's appearance has the detailed focus of attention shifted to the substantial and neglected period of catholic and Jesuit engagement with china - the almost 120 years from the second arrival of the Jesuits.Matteo Ricci the polymath, Ferdinand Verbeist and Adam Schall von Bell the astronomers and the exquisite painter who in uenced Chinese painting beyond measure, Giuseppe Castiglione, have been written about, made ls of and been the heart and soul of the rst stage of Jesuit impact on China - in the 17th and 18th Centuries. They brought Western learning and art to China and took Chinese language and literature to Europe.The Jesuits were the rst multinational to be welcomed in China and they came with a speci c method of engagement - to make friends build relationships and share their gifts before anything else was transacted, including conversations about Christianity. It remains an unsurpassed method of engagement with a rich and ancient people.But the second arrival - from the 1840's - was very different. It was made possible by the arrival of European governments and traders, many of whom came not just for nancial gain but to spread their "superior" religion.This work by David Strong in two volumes is the rst major treatment of the period from the arrival of the European and eventually American Jesuit missionaries under the protection of the so called Unequal Treaties through to their expulsion after the Communist victory in the long running civil war in 1949.Volume 1: The French Romance - traces the people, projects, expansion and impact of those who provided the predominant Jesuit presence. At the height of it's engagement with China, the French Government has 19 Consulates and attendant military and navy throughout China. The French Jesuits were afforded access and protection by their government and activated missions in northern and central China - schools, seminaries, universities, parishes, retreat houses, publications - and attracted Chinese nationals to join their number.

Auschwitz n'est pas un simple fait historique : c'est un arche¿type de notre trage¿die. Comment peut-on sortir d'une telle barbarie contem- poraine ? Pour y re¿pondre, l'auteur nous invite ä un exode hors de la pense¿e occidentale qui a nalement abouti au totalitarisme (e¿cono- technobureaucratie). Le point de de¿part d'une telle entreprise consiste en une ge¿ne¿alogie de l'ontothe¿ologie qui a conduit ä la de¿shuman- isation et ä l'e acement d'autrui. Pour en sortir, une conversion du regard est indispensable. L'auteur propose donc de scruter la pense¿e de Gre¿goire de Nysse et de Mai¿tre Eckhart a n d'y de¿couvrir un courant enracine¿ dans la pense¿e he¿brai¿que, qui l'irrigue de manie¿re souter- raine. C'est une voie d'exode vers l'accueil de l'autre, voie par laquelle le monde contemporain peut retrouver l'humanite¿.Hisao Miyamoto, ne¿ en 1945 ä Nagaoka (re¿gion de Nigata, Japon), fre¿re dominicain, ancien e¿le¿ve de l'E¿cole biblique de Je¿rusalem, professeur e¿me¿rite de l'universite¿ de Tokyo (Graduate school of Art and Science), ancien professeur de l'universite¿ Sophia (Universite¿ je¿suite - Jöchi, Faculty of eology and Graduate School), est actuelle- ment directeur du Centre de la culture chre¿tienne ä la Tokyo Junshin University. Il a longtemps anime¿, comme pre¿sident, la Japanese Society of Medieval Philosophy et la Japanese Society for Patristic Studies. Ses recherches couvrent plusieurs domaines, qu'il conjugue : Bible, patro- logie, philosophie me¿die¿vale (notamment omas d'Aquin et Mai¿tre Eckhart), dialogues avec les penseurs contemporains (H Arendt, E Levinas, J-L Marion, G Agamben) ainsi qu'avec les penseurs japonais ä travers les äges.Il donne aussi de nombreuses confe¿rences, tant au Japon que dans d'autres pays d'Asie, notamment la Core¿e du Sud.
