The Catholic intellectual tradition has long provided means of addressing issues of justice, care, and community within the college classrooms. Mapping the Catholic Cultural Landscape provides reflective and contemporary essays on the evolution of this tradition in the arts, humanities and social sciences, providing new foundations for making these vital linkages. It provides interesting reading for lay faculty in colleges and universities of all types.

The unity of Catholic faith makes possible a rich variety of culture adaptation. This fascinating collection of essays illustrates this fundamental feature of Catholicism in ways that fulfill the hopes of Vatican II. Ranging through literature, spirituality, and social justice, it will be an inspiration to Catholic universities seeking to strengthen their true identity and interdisciplinarity.

Mapping the Catholic Cultural Landscape is a remarkable anthology of readings which provide both a sense of Catholicism's rich cultural diversity and its intellectual coherence. The anthology offers an accessible introduction to the range and unity of Catholic thought and to the diversity of its cultural expressions and will be especially useful for an undergraduate audience. But the work will also be of interest to anyone who seeks to explore these issues in greater depth. The work is an important achievement.
— Don J. Briel, director of the Center for Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota
