Synopsis:

Theologians and educators connected with Catholic institutions of higher learning explore both Catholic religious and aesthetic ideas inherited from the past, and the current practice borne of experience, prayer, and critical reflection. In ten essays they look at such topics as the ideal of the Catholic mind, the relationship between Catholicism and other faith traditions, notions of the Catholic artist and intellectual, and the future of Catholic universities.
