This book provides the first sustained philosophical treatment of Pope Francis's Laudato Si' and articulates a theology of creation to recover our place within the cosmos. In the encyclical Laudato Si', Pope Francis discerns beneath the imminent threat of ecological catastrophe an existential affliction of the human person, who is lost in the cosmos, increasingly alienated from self, others, nature, and God. Pope Francis suggests that one must...

American media is the subject of constant critique. The seeming exaltation of violence, sex, and illicit themes creates virulent opponents of the media and its content.

Probing deep into the canon of all things screen, Thomas Hibbs uncovers the disturbing truths about the contempor...

An exhibit featuring the works of Georges Rouault and Makoto Fujimura was hosted by the Dillon Gallery In New York at the end of 2009.

Philosophers startle ordinary people. Christians astonish the philosophers." âPascal, Pensées In Wagering on an Ironic God Thomas S. Hibbs both startles and astonishes. He does so by offering a new interpretation of Pascal's Pensées and by showing the importance of Pascal in and for a philosophy of religion. Hibbs resists the temptation to focus exclusively on Pascal's famous "wager" or to be beguiled by the fragmentary and presumably incomp...
