Book review: Peter J. Thuesen researches storm survivors' gratitude for divine providence through the ages and across religions in an examination of the American struggle with the problem of theodicy — why does a good God permit evil?

Review: It seems strange to assert that a book about Late Renaissance Italian women in health care is relevant to the present global crisis, but striking parallels are found throughout Forgotten Healers: Women and the Pursuit of Health in Late Renaissance Italy by Sharon T. Strocchia of Emory University.

Review: St. Joseph Sr. Kathleen Duffy portrays the Jesuit priest as the patron saint of the struggle to reconcile outdated tenets of a loved faith with burgeoning scientific evidence about the world around us.

Book Review: The authors remind the Latin faithful about what Orthodox believers have embraced for centuries: Christ's resurrection was a universal, communal event.
