Book Description
Visitors to the Vatican Galleries, when they turn away from the works of art, may look out of the long windows and catch glimpses of lawns and trees, or intricate parterres with boxwood hedges. or climbing to the dome of St. Peter's, daunted as they may be by the vertical stairs with walls narrowing as they ascend, they may enjoy marvellous aerial views. And often they wish they could walk in those pleasant paths shadowed by ancient trees.Twenty seven years in the making, The Gardens of the Vatican is a private photographic tour of eight centuries of green thoughts in a green shade.' The several gardens in the Vatican territory reflect the history of gardens in general. In addition to the Persian influenced quadrant gardens of the Tenton Cemetery and the Secret Garden, adorned with lemon trees in pots, there are gardens in the Italian, French,and English styles.The book is rich in anecdote and detail: Pope John XXIII liked to ramble along the pathways and chat with the gardeners. His predecessor Pius XII wanted solitude, so the gardeners were obliged to hide. There is a fragment of the Berlin Wall, a Chinese pavilion given by the Catholics of that country, and a gnarled old olive tree transplanted from the Gethsemane in the Holy Land.The Gardens of the Vaticanoffers a fascinating and inspiring glimpse of a bachelor's refuge, through eight centuries of history.

Book Description
Walking with Faith addresses a long-standing need to develop the faith-related dimensions of Christian moral life and explore their implications. It responds to Vatican II's exhortation that theological studies be renewed through a lively contact with the mystery of Christ and the history of salvation. Accordingly, this book examines the relationship between faith and moral life in the Scriptures and acknowledges the normative quality of the biblical texts. It reviews the long experience of the Church, paying special attention to history, worship, and intellectual currents. These dimensions of Christian life show the relationship between faith and moral life at any given time and allow the actions of one generation to have effects that extend far into the future. Walking with Faith promotes an understanding of contemporary pastoral and theological issues and encourages a deep and informed approach to Christian life.
