Spring 2007: A "catholic" Intellectual Tradition (pdf)
"The desire which animated medieval religious communities to found the first universities was rooted in a basic confidence about the knowableness of reality, a trust that all things to be known found a unifying principle in the belief that God created them. It is this sense of confidence about reality that has animated Catholic intellectual life at its best. In this issue of C21 Resources, we have brought together essays which explore dimensions of the Catholic intellectual tradition as a resource for both the Church and the world."
