Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole

Praise for Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole

Reflecting upon these pages, one will draw much inspiration for how to take up today-doubtlessly in a renewed manner, though sharing much with Integrity's sane wisdom-the task of articulating the Christian life in the midst of a culture that is even more anti-Christian than that which Robinson et al. critiqued with such insight, force, and true charity. - Matthew K. Minerd, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy and Moral Theology, Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Pittsburgh, PA

Though written seventy and more years ago, these essays come across as amazingly fresh and timely. Indeed, Carol Robinson wrote in such a way that her contemporaries don't seem to be Jacques Maritain and Thomas Merton so much as Rod Dreher and Eugene McCarraher. Running throughout the essays and reviews here collected is an earnest and sincere search for a properly Catholic anthropology as Robinson interrogates many of the spectres of the age-Capitalism no less than Communism, psychoanalysis no less than materialism. She does so with the combined zeal of a convert conjoined to the perspicacity of a resolute seeker after the truth. - Michael Martin, author of Transfiguration: Notes Toward a Radical Catholic Reimagination of Everything. 

Carol Robinson's vigor and independence of mind is on full display in this collection, along with her love for the Faith and her concern for her fellow-countrymen. The pieces provide a vivid picture of the period after the Second World War and before the Sixties-of our failings as moderns and Americans, and the diversity, vitality, and seriousness of attempts among Catholic thinkers and activists to find a remedy. The result is a comprehensive collection, with never a dull moment and no end of lessons for Catholics today. - James Kalb, author of The Tyranny of Liberalism (ISI, 2008), and Against Inclusiveness (Angelico Press, 2013)

With a penetrating intellect and a deep knowledge of Catholic teaching (and especially the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas), Robinson's writing is eminently readable, at once both clear and refreshingly bold! This collection is a veritable treasure trove of wisdom on culture, morality, the spiritual life, and all subjects of import to the thinking Christian. Certainly, the reader will not only read but will come back to this book time and again. - Taylor Patrick O'Neill, Ph.D., Teaching Faculty, Thomas Aquinas College, Northfield, MA.
