Stratford Caldecott – författare

Recent years have seen an unprecedented period of reform in the public worship of the Catholic Church. Controversy over liturgical reform was focused in England by an international conference in 1996, which led to the formation of a Liturgy Forum and the issuing of the Oxford Declaration on Liturgy. This book represents all the key elements from that important conference.

A bold new elegant invitation to enter into the mysteries of the Christian faith. This graceful book explains to Catholics and non-Catholics alike the mystical heart of the Catholic faith: the Seven Sacraments.

Digging deep into J. R. R. Tolkien's spiritual biography--his religious scholarship and his love of both Christian and pagan myth--Stratford Caldecott offers a critical study of how the acclaimed author effectively created a vivid Middle Earth using the familiar rites and ceremonies of human history. And while readers and moviegoers alike may appreciate the fantasy world of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, few know that in life, Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic and that the characters, the events, and the general morality of each novel are informed by the dogmas of his faith. Revised and updated, this acclaimed study of Tolkien's achievement--previously released as Secret Fire in the UK--includes commentary on Peter Jackson's film adaptations and explores many of the fascinating stories and letters published after Tolkien's death.

Based in the riches of Christian worship and tradition, this brief, eloquently written introduction to Christian thinking and worldview helps readers put back together again faith and reason, truth and beauty, and the fragmented academic disciplines. By reclaiming the classic liberal arts and viewing disciplines such as science and mathematics through a poetic lens, the author explains that unity is present within diversity. Now repackaged with a new foreword by Ken Myers, this book will continue to benefit parents, homeschoolers, lifelong learners, Christian students, and readers interested in the history of ideas.

La Belleza en la Palabra es una contribución única para devolver la realidad al centro del aprendizaje. A los interrogantes ¿qué es una buena educación? o ¿para qué sirve?, Stratford Caldecott ensaya una respuesta arrojando una nueva luz sobre las tres artes del lenguaje. En esta maravillosa reformulación del Trivium se exploran la gramática, la dialéctica y la retórica en correspondencia con los actos de recordar, pensar y comunicar. Estos son los pasos fundamentales que todo estudiante (y todo aquel interesado) debe dar hacia la conversión del corazón y la mente, de modo que se pueda vivir en plenitud la búsqueda de la Verdad, el Bien y la Belleza. Si le preocupa el verdadero significado de la educación, este es el lugar por donde empezar.«En este libro perspicaz, Stratford Caldecott ha presentado una manera de entender la educación en un sentido que incluye la filosofía, la teología, las artes, la literatura, los estudios de la belleza y la verdad y lo que es bueno. Un libro poco común que entiende la unidad del conocimiento y lo que queremos saber».James V. Schall, S.J., Universidad de Georgetown
