The Hidden Life: Hagiographic Essays, Meditations, Spiritual Texts (Stein, Edith//the Collected Works of ...1 review
Edith Stein, Lucy Gelber

Ics Pubns, 1992

The hidden life
As she converted to Christianity, Edith Stein joined one of the strictes orders-that of Carmelites. That was because she thought that only behind convent walls she could completely detach from the outside world and devote herself to God. So, when we talk about the title of the book:"The hidden life" we do not talk only about the life in a convent but also about the base of Edith Steins life that ... 		  
  







  
  
Knowledge and Faith (Stein, Edith//the Collected Works of Edith Stein)2 reviews
Edith Stein, Lucy Gelber, ...

ICS Books, 2000

Philosophy and faith
When someone, today, mentions Edith Stein it is very often in a religious context. This is because of her deep faith that yielded with her conversion to Christianity and, at the end with her martyrdom. (She died in a gas chamber during the Second World War.) Therefore, when we talk about Edith Stein we often forget her as a talented philosopher of a very lucid philosophical mind, which she always ... 		  
  







  
  
Life in a Jewish Family: Her Unfinished Autobiographical Account (Collected Works of Edith Stein, Vol 1)2 reviews
Edith Stein

Ics Pubns, 1999

Superb portrayl of a Saint's family life.
I am only half way through this book but it is so interesting and moving. Edith Stein talks about her family, their religious practices and primarily about how much they mean to her and how they would later mould her own religious life. She writes fluidly and cleary with much care. A brilliant read for anyone who knows of this remarkable woman. 		  
  







  
  
Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities (Stein, Edith//the Collected Works of Edith Stein)1 review
Edith Stein

Ics Pubns, 2000

A tough but still fascinating study
Although this book is written in difficult, technical language, it nevertheless provides the reader with remarkable insights into the nature of the human person and the importance of understanding how communities influence the individual. A worthwhile read for those with patience who are interested in these topics. 		  
  







  
  
World Is Round1 review
Gertrude Stein

Farrar Straus & Giroux (J), 1988

A rose is a rose is a rose
This book is odd, but very lovely. It is quite in the stream-of-consciousness vein, very modernist. I am not sure how much sense it would actually make to a child, but I found it to be particularly good. 		  
  







  
  
Essays On Woman (Collected Works of Edith Stein)2 reviews
Edith Stein

Ics Pubns, 1986

A Woman of the Third Millenium in the End of the Second
Edith Stein's views on womanhood are just beginning to be dissected by theologians in light of the popularity of Pope John Paul the Great's "Theology of the Body." She explores the vocation of men and women, in particular, by expanding upon Aquinas's 'anima forma corporis' in her discussions of `woman's soul'. She is quite candid about her beliefs: "I am convinced that the species humanity ... 		  
  







  
  
Edith Stein: Essential Writings (Modern Spiritual Masters Series)1 review
Edith Stein, John Sullivan

Orbis Books, 2002

A Saint for Today
Even though Edith Stein was writing in the first half of the twentieth century, many of her observations on the human person still ring true, providing food for thought when contemplating contemporary issues. In a clear and logic style, Edith Stein reflects on the world around her. Edith's writings on women's role in society and gender issues are inspiring. In addition, her ability to view the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Science of the Cross (Stein, Edith//the Collected Works of Edith Stein)2 reviews
Edith Stein

ICS Publications, 2003

A difficult book analysing the mystical thought of St John of the Cross
In this book, Edith Stein set about doing a fairly systematic analysis of the works of St John of the Cross sprinkled with the thoughts of Teresea and Avila and mediated through the eyes of another saint (St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross), namely Edith Stein herself. It has to be said that this book is hard going simply because, whilst the language used for what happens in the mystical life is ...
