C ATHOLIC STU DIES Paul Hanly Furfey

Priest, Scientist, Social Reformer NICK RADEMACHER

Meticulously researched and clearly written, this book sheds new light on Monsignor Paul Hanly Furfey’s life by drawing on Furfey’s copious published material and substantial archival deposit. Paul Hanly Furfey (1896–1992) is one of U.S. Catholicism’s greatest champions of peace and social justice. He and his colleagues at The Catholic University of America offered a revolutionary view of the university as a center for social transformation, not only in training students to be agents for social change but also in establishing structures which would empower and transform the communities that surrounded the university. In part a response to the Great Depression, their social settlement model drew on the latest social scientific research and technique while at the same time incorporating principles they learned from radical Catholics like Dorothy Day and Catherine de Hueck Doherty. 352 PAGES 978-0-8232-7677-6 PAPER, $35.00, £28.99 978-0-8232-7676-9 CLOTH, $125.00, £103.00 SIMULTANEOUS ELECTRONIC EDITION AVAILABLE Catholic Practice in North America J U LY 201 7

E D U C AT ION Undocumented and in College

Students and Institutions in a Climate of National Hostility Edited by Terry-Ann Jones and Laura Nichols

Cutting across the fields of U.S. immigration policy, theory, and history, religion, law, and education, this book first delineates the historical and then present-day contexts of immigration including the role of religious institutions, and then presents findings of research on the current experiences of undocumented students as they navigate the processes of entering and then thriving in private, religiously-based colleges. The book is a crucial resource for those working with immigrant students in high school and the college context. Contributors: Michael M.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY AND CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT Christianity, Democracy, and the Shadow of Constantine Edited by George E. Demacopoulos and Aristotle Papanikolaou

“Many of us in the field of political theology are poorer for the lack of conversation most of us experience between Eastern and Western political theologies. Even if we are open and sympathetic to one another—and historically that is a big ‘if ’—the traditions are so distinct from one another that few can claim expertise in both, and so we continue to focus narrowly on our own traditions. This volume represents a welcome change to this pattern, opening a conversation between theologians across Eastern and Western traditions on the timely topics of church and state, democracy, and liberalism.”—Elizabeth Phillips, Tutor in Theology and Ethics, Westcott House, Cambridge 272 PAGES 978-0-8232-7420-8 PAPER, $35.00, £28.99 978-0-8232-7419-2 CLOTH, $125.00, £103.00 SIMULTANEOUS ELECTRONIC EDITION AVAILABLE
