Will Increase Understanding of The Spirituality in Suffering
This book having, in my opinion, both a strong academic and also personal emphasis, isn't a "quick read" - not if you're going to get the most possible out of ALL THAT IT HAS TO OFFER. There are questions at the end of each chapter that invite the reader to PAUSE AND CONSIDER how their own personal thoughts, feelings and daily living apply to chapter highlights. Scripture quotes, ...

An introductory New Testament Greek course

3 reviews
Francis T Gignac

Loyola University Press, 1973

An Excellent Introduction
Francis Gignac's Introductory New Testament Greek Course is a classic that will long be of tremendous value to anyone wanting to begin New Testament Greek. Strengths of the book include: (a) For each vocabulary item an English word derived from the Greek is put in brackets; this helps vocabulary building and creates familiarity with the language. (b) Somewhat technical discussions are put in ...

The Ignatian Workout: Daily Spiritual Exercises for a Healthy Faith

Tim Muldoon

Loyola University Press, 2004

An Interesting Intro to Ignatian Spirituality
Author Tim Muldoon begins the introduction of his book THE IGNATIAN WORKOUT with an observation: the busiest time at athletic complexes on college campuses is after the spring break when people realize the summer is near and the need to shed winter pounds before bathing suit season becomes urgent. He's familiar enough with college campuses as a student and later as a professor at Mount Aloysius ...

A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament: Unabridged

20 reviews
Max Zerwick, Mary Grosvenor

Loyola University Press, 1996

Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis
This is simply a must for the student of intermediate Greek (i.e., one who has just completed his introductory grammar). Here's why I say this: This is the ideal tool for learning NT Greek through induction. I love studying grammar deductively, that is, studying the principles and rules (a priori), but the average person will find that deductive study isn't quite enough. Even with examples, ...

A reading course in Homeric Greek

6 reviews
Raymond V Schoder

Loyola University Press, 1945

Hard work, but rewarding
This is a three-volume set of large paperbacks that will teach the motivated beginner Homeric Greek. Most of the grammar is introduced in the 120 lessons in volume 1. The lessons are short - about 5 or 6 vocabulary items are introduced, along with a grammatical point or two. There are not a lot of examples given for each grammatical point, but this is made up for with the exercises. Each ...

Chicago, city of neighborhoods: Histories & tours

1 review
Dominic A Pacyga

Loyola University Press, 1986

Who knew neighborhood history could be so good?
This is literally an indespensible book for anybody interested in Chicago history, because for once a book more or less ignores politicians, big business, and downtown and concentrates on neighborhoods, churches, and "the little people" without being pedantic, condescending, or Marxist. Each chapter covers one of the 15 neighborboods, and includes a narrative and a brief tour description. The ...

Paul F Distler

Loyola University Press, 1962

Rethink and GO FORTH
Distler's book is an amazing tool. As a teacher of Latin for many years now who has used the Grammar approach it wasn't always easy for me to buy in to what Distler had to say, however, the more I read, the more he convinced me. He lays out the goals, the plans and proceeds to tell the reader how to accomplish it. That's pretty amazing in itself. This fall I will be changing not only my text ...

It also provides the reader with an insight into the tempestuous world of DuBourg's day. DuBourg's life spanned centuries and continents. Born in Saint-Domingue, the current Cap Hatien, Haiti in 1766, he moved to ...

A neglected and unusual work by John Henry Newman
This is the first volume in what apparently is projected as a complete edition of the Works of Cardinal John Henry Newman, published jointly by Gracewing in England and by the University of Notre Dame Press in the United States, under the general editorship of James Tolhurst. Seven volumes have so far been published in the series, which is called The Birmingham Oratory Millennium Edition. I have ...

Mary Purcell

Loyola University Press, 1989

Purcell's Labor of Love; A Definitive Biography
This is probably the biography of St. Vincent de Paul you want. Often with famous persons, they will say, one biography stands out more than others...and this must be it. Purcell's attention to the details of Monsieur Vincent's life is impecabble, do we want to know in what kind of household Vincent de Paul grew up in? Mary Purcell tells us to note paintings by the Brothers Le Nain. I did and ...

Good, factual coverage of Marquette's trips
Reprints much of Marquettes own notes and discusses the places he'd traveled as he made his historic journey down the Mississippi and back up thru Illinois to the Chicago Portage. Also covers his later trip back, the rush to get him home before his death and his death in the wilderness.

Fordham: A History and Memoir

Raymond A. Schroth

Loyola University Press, 2002

They spoke French in the Bronx?
Ray Schroth's memoir of Fordham University, at one time the largest U.S. institution of Catholic higher education is worthy of space on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the history of New York, higher education in the United States, or Jesuitica. I am particularly interested to find out where the rifles, which were used to protect the Universitatis against a "Know-Nothings" uprising, were ...
