Fr Brian Davies & Paul Kucharski 
The McCabe Reader 

Herbert Mc Cabe OP was one of the most intelligent Roman Catholic thinkers of the 20th century, whose writings have enjoyed enormous and welcome success. A significant influence on philosophers such as Anthony Kenny and Alasdair Mc Intyre, Mc Cabe also counted amongst his friends Seamus Heaney and Terry Eagleton, and moved amongst the literary elite. His wide personal interests are reflected in his writings, which cover a broad range of topics. In this reader we glimpse an insight into the workings of a brilliant mind occupied by topics including the philosophy of God and Christian doctrine, ethics and moral theology, the problem of evil, the philosophical theology of St Thomas Aquinas, the traditional catholic concern for prayer, liturgy, Mary and St Dominic. Further musings reflect on issues that interested Mc Cabe the most — philosophy of God, Christology, fundamental and sacramental theology, and ethics.



Edited by Brian Davies and Paul Kucharski, two well known Mc Cabe specialists, the selection is a gem which will be of use to any reader interested in comprehending the key issues for a thoughtful life, and also includes some of Mc Cabe»s most dazzling sermons.
