(Mainly) Catholic resources

Missed this one:

we need a Jaroslav Pelikan collection. [For those who don't know Pelikan is a Lutheran scholar who sounded Catholic and became Orthodox]

Addition:

Catholic Encyclopedia - Edited by Scott Haun

The Church and the Bible - St. Paul Edition. This is simply a book that lists all of the official Church documents for the last 1800 years. Stops at 2007. This book has most of the PBC documents, so it would take care of a lot of requests.

Thank you!

Catholic Encyclopedia - Edited by Scott Haun

I don't know who edited it, but the 1913 publication of the Catholic Encyclopedia is on Community Pricing in case any would care to place a bid

http://www.logos.com/product/8511/the-catholic-encyclopedia. I know I would like to see it be published in Logos. In the meantime, it's on the net

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/.

EDIT: While I'm flogging the Catholic Encyclopedia, I might as well do the same for the Jewish Encyclopedia http://www.logos.com/product/8537/the-jewish-encyclopedia. Let's roll !

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/263648#Comment_263648

I would add to this growing list more of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. "The Cost of Discipleship" for sure. He is a Lutheran pastor, WW II martyr, but a noted 20th century theologian. Even Pope Benedict quotes him in his own works.

So I guess this is less of "Catholic resources" and more of "What Catholics want to read" [:D]

Catholic Encyclopedia - Edited by Scott Haun

I'm a bit confused as to what you refer to here. There are several Catholic Encyclopedias, but I can't find that any of them is edited by a Scott Haun. It sounds like you mean Scott Hahn, but then I can't find that he's done any Catholic Encyclopedia either. He has done a Catholic Bible Dictionary, though, which would probably be interesting to have (I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure). Is that what you mean, or do you mean one of the Catholic Encyclopedias, and in that case which one? A link would be helpful.

Funny: I just found Scott Hahn has actually reviewed his own Bible Dictionary on Amazon. Not surprisingly he gave it 5 stars. [:D] (He's only the editor, though, so it's not quite as inappropriate as it first struck me. Plus he probably had to set a rating in order to be able to comment at all.)

Even funnier: it seems his wife reviews under his name. I find it hard to believe it was Scott who wrote the line "As a mother-in-law, I found..." [:D]

[Y] to Bonhoeffer. I hope I, a non-Catholic, can post in this thread.

My suggestion: The complete works of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.

While Scott Hahn is a noteworthy apologist worthy to be read, Sheen warms you up from the inside. [W]

One I would like to see is A New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture Reginald C. Fuller (Editor), L. Johnston (Editor), C. Kearns (Editor), B. Orchard (Editor) It's a sound one volume commentary similar to the Jerome commentary "unfolds the sense of the scriptures, making full use of modern Biblical research. In addition to detailed commentaries, there are articles covering such topics as the archaeology of the Bible"

It is hardly a cutting edge original publication date of 1969, but it has held up well. It was last published by Nelson in 1984. An Amazon reviewer giving it 5 stars states:

This review is from: New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture (Hardcover) I've had this book near my bedside for about twenty years now. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to get beyond the surface of the biblical texts. The commentaries are written by some of the greatest biblical exegetes in the world, such as Raymond Brown. Although, everything is generally written from a Catholic perspective (especially in matters of doctrine), even non-Catholics might find it illuminating when it comes to interpretation. The book also includes sections on the history of certain time periods, such as The Jewish World in intra-testamental times. The print is very small, however, because there is so much information.

Goodness, I'm sorry folks, I meant dictionary, not encyclopedia. My apologies, I think I was half asleep when I wrote that.

1. Church Fathers

2. Encyclicals

3. CCC and then you can click on the actual references and read. (like the book, Companion to the CCC).

4. Pontifical Biblical Commission documents

5. Doctors of the Church. Maybe a collection of all their writings? Goodness, that would be awesome!

6. Vatican II documents, not just the final ones, but the drafts as well. (Got a course on V2 coming up!!)

7. Code of Canon Law

Andrew Jones

You'll all be very happy to hear that a lot of the titles mentioned in this thread are either in the works or are on the short list of titles to be added soon. I've taken note of the other suggestions. Please keep your ideas and comments coming.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/263781#Comment_263781

Code of Canon Law

The Latin-English edition by the Canon Law Society of America. And later on the CCL for the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches as well.

I also support most of what's been mentioned above.

Here are some further additions:

Catholic reverse interlinear[s ], so I don't have to keep the NRSV at the bottom of my priority list just to make Translation Rings and such work. (Remember, my prioritized Bible translations tend to be Swedish, Catholic or Jewish, none of which have RI's.) The NRSVCE should be fairly quick to do.
The Little Rock Catholic Study Bible (since MJ speaks so highly of it)
Office, Missals and other liturgical books for both the Western and the Eastern rites (full versions, including things like the consecration of churches and the consecration of virgins) (and well tagged, so they can be linked and compared)
Norman Tanner: Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils (2 vols) (expensive, but includes the original languages)
Neuner/Dupuis (ed): The Christian Faith in the Doctrinal Documents of the Catholic Church (latest edition!)
Austin Flannery: Vatican Council II. The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents/More Post Conciliar Documents (at least 2 vols.) (latest edition!)
Fergus Kerr: Twentieth-Century Catholic Theologians
Collections by:
- Thomas More
- Henri de Lubac (especially Splendor of the Church, Corpus Mysticum and Medieval Exegesis)
- Yves Congar
- Scott Hahn
Mark Shea: Making Senses Out of Scripture, and By What Authority?
A Catholic Spirituality Collection, part 2, with books like:
- The rest of the works of St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila
- St Catherine of Siena: The Dialogue
- The early English mystics: Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, The Cloud of Unknowing
- Jean-Pierre de Caussade
Jacques Maritain: An Introduction to Philosophy
FC Copleston: Aquinas, and A History of Philosophy
Paul J Glenn: A Tour of the Summa
Thomas Weinandy et al: Aquinas on Scripture. An Introduction to his Biblical Commentaries
Thomas Weinandy: Does God Suffer?: A Christian Theology of God and Suffering
Jéan Danielou: A History of Early Christian Doctrine before the Council of Nicaea (3 vols)
All the important patristic and medieval writers that are still missing
The introductory books on Patristics suggested here
The books on Liturgy suggested here
The ecumenical books suggested here
Hebrew Catholic authors, like Cardinal Lustiger and Israel/Eugenio Zolli
Various Orthodox resources like the EOB, the HOB, the Orthodox Study Bible, a good Catechism, the Way of the Pilgrim, Philokalia, Vladimir Lossky, Timothy/Kallistos Ware, Alexander Schmemann...
High quality Catholic Journals (I presume biblical and theological would sell best)

For Vyrso:

Maria von Trapp: the books behind Sound of Music (Very good, especially the first and last/third. Give a nice picture of Catholic family life. (The film only covers a small part, and not too faithfully.))
JH Newman's novels
GK Chesterton's novels
Georges Bernanos
Flannery O'Connor
Michael O'Brien
TS Eliot: The Murder in the Cathedral
Dorothy Sayers: The Man Born to be King

And just in general, I want more books from publishers like Ignatius, Paulist, Cistercians, St Vladimir, Sheed & Ward, SCM...

This is a great devotional/spiritual book from the 14th century, I believe it is in public domain:

The Cloud of Unknowing: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/anonymous2/cloud.html

Some things never change, including the human need to connect with our creator. Prayer and meditation on the divine are techniques that have been used for millennia to grow in the knowledge of God. Cloud of Unknowing documents techniques used by the medieval monastic community to build and maintain that contemplative knowledge of God. Scholars date the anonymous authorship of Cloud of Unknowing to 1375, during the height of European monasticism. Written as a primer for the young monastic, the work is instructional, but does not have an austere didactic tone. Rather, the work embraces the reader with a maternal call to grow closer to God through meditation and prayer.

Chance or Purpose? Creation, Evolution and a Rational Faith - Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn

http://www.amazon.com/Chance-Purpose-Creation-Evolution-Rational/dp/1586172123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262717270&sr=8-1

"Cardinal Schoenborn writes with masterful simplicity on profound theological issues. I, as a scientist and Christian outside the Catholic tradition, welcome his wisdom. He argues effectively that there are multiple approaches to reality, and he states clearly that while intelligent design is worthy of human reflection, from a scientific perspective the evolutionary model is the true story." -- Owen Gingerich, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and History of Science, Harvard University. Author of "God's Universe"

"Intellectual curiosity is here joined with precision of reason and vibrancy of faith. The result is a wondrously instructive guide to one of the most controverted questions of our time by one of the most influential leaders of the Church." -- Richard John Neuhaus, Editor, FIRST THINGS

"Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn's 2005 essay in the New York Times, which seemingly condemned Darwin's scientific theory of evolution, ignited a firestorm of controversy. Yet the hasty responses did not look deeply enough into the Cardinal's words. Rather than the science of Darwin, it is the philosophical claims made in its name that the prelate upbraided. Science cannot speak of ultimate purpose, and scientists who do so are outside of their authority. In Chance or Purpose? the Cardinal shows that the data of biology, when properly examined by reason and philosophy, strongly point to a purposeful world." -- Michael Behe, Author, Darwin's Black Box

The Holy Bible Translated from the Latin Vulgate [Also known as the Douay Rheims]
Problem one: In the current version all of the footnotes and non bible text and commentaries are missing [there are lots in my paper copy]
Problem two: We have the revised by Challoner version – can the original version be added [hopefully with old English transliterated - there is a paper and PDF version available elsewhere]
Problem three: no reverse interlinear

While not the same as a true interlinear the DR is a fairly strict translation from the Latin so opening the latin version up next it and the collins Latin dictionary gives you a quick way to see the original. Unlike greek and hebrew latin being in our same alphabet is easier to reference even if one dose not know the language. I do agree with you however that the notes in the Douai-Rheims Version would be most valuable. I honestly only even ordered the DRV in the prepub because I assumed the notes would be there. Even the minimal notes of the NJB readers edition are in place in it, I wish NJB was full notes of the regular edition but I doubt we will ever see that.

In fact, ANY of the Fitzmyer books would be welcome...

He has a few included in the Eerdmans Biblical Resources Series: The Semitic Background of the New Testament, vols. 1 & 2, and To Advance the Gospel.

I would also like to see some more of his work, he is a terrific scholar.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/265500#Comment_265500

I honestly only even ordered the DRV in the prepub because I assumed the notes would be there.

And the very first comment deals with the WHY of TRADITION. Trying not to start a theological discussion and only stating facts not that anything would get some to accept would this statement have at least made some of the firebrands to possibly think that maybe there is a firm basis for tradition? [not that they would agree]

ANNOTATIONS Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 from the DR

The Church had only Traditions & no Scripture above 2400 years

1. In the beginning.] Holy Moyses telleth what was done in the beginning of the world, and so forward even till his own time, writing above two thousand and four hundred years after the beginning. all which being incomprehensible by human wit or discourse, he knew partly by Revelations from God, for he had the gift of Prophecy in most excellent sort: partly by Traditions from his elders, who learned of their fathers. For until that time the Church had only Traditions of such things, as were revealed to special men, Whereby we see the great authority of Traditions, before there were Scriptures. And since Scriptures were written they are also necessary, for three special reasons. First for that we are only assured by Tradition of the Church, that those Books are in deed holy Scriptures, which are so accounted, and not by the Scripture itself, for that were to prove the same by the same, until we be assured of some part, that proveth some other parts. And this made St. Augustine to say plainly, that he could not believe the Gospel, except the Church told him which is the Gospel.

With out the comments and annotations how can anyone truly study the faith supported by this version of the Bible?

We might see if it is practical to make the notes available much as the Geneva Bible notes were available before they were officially available in Logos.

What I've found so far is the Haydock commentary which are the notes in some editions of the D-R:

"Beginning. As St. Matthew begins his Gospel with the same title as this work, the Book of the Generation, or Genesis, so St. John adopts the first words of Moses, in the beginning; but he considers a much higher order of things, even the consubstantial Son of God, the same with God from all eternity, forming the universe, in the beginning of time, in conjunction with the other two Divine Persons, by the word of his power; for all things were made by Him, the Undivided Deity. H. --- Elohim, the Judges or Gods, denoting plurality, is joined with a verb singular, he created,
whence many, after Peter Lombard, have inferred, that in this first
verse of Genesis the adorable mystery of the Blessed Trinity is
insinuated, as they also gather from various other passages of the Old
Testament, though it was not clearly revealed till our Saviour came
himself to be the finisher of our faith. C. --- The Jews being a
carnal people and
prone to idolatry, might have been in danger of misapplying this great
mystery, and therefore an explicit belief of it was not required of them
in general. See Collet. &c. H. --- The word bara , created,
is here determined by tradition and by reason to mean a production out
of nothing, though it be used also to signify the forming of a thing out
of pre-existing matter. 21. 27. C. --- The first cause of all things
must be God, who, in a moment, spoke, and heaven and earth were
made, heaven with all the Angels; and the whole mass of the elements, in
a state of confusion, and blended together, out of which the beautiful
order, which was afterwards so admirable, arose in the space of six
days: thus God was pleased to manifest his free choice in opposition to
those Pagans who attributed all to blind chance or fate. Heaven is here placed first, and is not declared empty and dark like the earth; that we may learn to raise our minds and hearts above this
land of trial, to that our true country, where we may enjoy God for ever. H."

I am slightly off-track - do you know whose notes are included in your edition?

Tried to compare with the Vulgatam Clementinam in logos but it looks like that also has no notes.
I use the Rheims New Testament Of Anno Domini 1582 Prepared and Edited by Dr. William von Peters PDF Version [Gave away my hard copy as a Christmas present - a four volumn set]

Thanks - I found it. Now I also need to do a bit of research on the early "real" D-R translations. The marginal notes may present a problem in converting to MS Word from a PDF.

My hard copy Douay Rheims is a Challoner edit – has a face plate listing 1826 but a copyright of 1914 by John Murphy company and published by P J Kenedy & Sons – the footnotes in it are much more ‘normal’. Did read ALL of the notes on John 2:1-11. Sorry, but all of my research on this version does not help you [that done today and prior confirms to me that what I have is valid but is not in the depth needed to prove that to others]. The marginal notes may WILL present a [VERY BIG] problem in converting to MS Word from the PDF. From the PDF the Bible text is extractable using normal ways. But the comments are in a three column mode. The center column is OK but the two sides seem to be on the same page and get mixed up in a simple copy.

Fitzmyer is one of the pre-eminent American biblical scholars of our time. Logos publishes about 8 resources that include his work already.

I use and refer to the Sacra Pagina Bible Commentary Series regularly! This would be a great addition to Logos 4.

Agreed... Have only Mat and Jn, but seem very good and worthwhile. Perfect addition! 2nd that!

Nice to see how much on this thread has been produced or is on the way! Though there's certainly plenty left for Andrew to work on.[:)]
