Yes. I saw it on the shelves of my private library a few days ago. I’ll find it and post a few in this thread.

“As a scholar and as a priest, my vocation is not to manipulate people into agreeing with me or with the creeds of Christianity that most appeal to me. My vocation is rather to enable people I encounter to become clearer about why they believe in the particular ways they do. Apart from a...
