This study renders an original and constructive Catholic theology of prayer drawing on the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988). Travis LaCouter explores the trinitarian, Christological, ecclesial, anthropological, and eschatological dimensions of prayer in Balthasar’s theology, and shows how these combine to give a powerful account of prayer’s proper theological scope and purpose. There is also a critical dimension of prayer which is arguably underdeveloped in some of Balthasar’s key texts, but which LaCouter shows to have significant dialogical potential with contemporary accounts of parrhesia since Foucault. This approach demonstrates the centrality of prayer to Balthasar’s entire theological system and does so in a way which itself constitutes an exercise in Catholic systematics. This study is also distinctive for establishing a method of proceeding through Balthasar’s sprawling oeuvre (and the similarly vast secondary literature) by arguing for three “categories” of texts in Balthasar’s writings and, separately, three “waves” of Balthasar readers. Thus, this study is a resource not just for those interested in prayer but for anyone interested in reading Balthasar today.

Catholic Priests and the Matter of Sex confronts one of the most urgent crises facing the contemporary Catholic Church: the pervasive culture of clericalism. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this groundbreaking volume offers a penetrating analysis of how clericalism distorts priestly identity, undermines the Church's mission, and erodes lay participation. But this book does more than critique-it explores how clericalism intersects with sexuality, masculinity, and institutional power, revealing how these dynamics shape Catholic life today. With essays from diverse voices, this collection asks difficult but necessary questions: What is clericalism? How does it function? And how can it be overcome? The authors are driven by a deep love for the Church and a desire to support awareness, integrity, and renewal. Bridging theology, ecclesiology, and lived experience, Clericalism and Sexuality is both a prophetic challenge and a hopeful call to reform-a timely resource for anyone committed to revitalizing the Church's mission in the twenty-first century.
