A New Awareness

"""Drawing from Sebastian Moore's use of an extraordinarily wide variety of disciplines, Deominic Arcamone offers us a detailed presentation of Moore's thought--a thought that is both contemplative and entirely relevant for a Christian construal of spirituality. By doing so, Arcamone helps his readers to correct many traditional distortions in Catholic theology and to suggest helpful understandings."" --Louis Roy, professor of systematic theology, Dominican University College ""Dominic Arcamone presents a comprehensive exposition and appreciation of the thought of English Benedictine Sebastian Moore by one whose life was transformed by his encounter with Moore."" --William Loewe, professor emeritus of historical and systematic theology, The Catholic University of America ""Dominic Arcamone has done the theological community a great service in bringing the work of Sebastian Moore to a new audience. Moore's work is a constant challenge to 'know thyself, ' to enter into the depths of human interiority. Arcamone's nuanced and detailed exposition renews that same challenge for those willing to take the risk."" --Neil Ormerod, honorary professor of theology, Alphacrucis University College ""If we imagine Sebastian Moore as a spirited, piebald wild horse filled with life, curiosity, and enthusiasm, in this book Arcamone has tamed the wild stallion. Arcamone has done a great service by transforming Moore's sustained mercurial flashes of insight into ideas and inspirations that even the novice rider can confidently handle. A New Awareness is exhilarating, at times challenging, but ultimately very satisfying. Take up and read!"" --John Francis Collins, lecturer, Sydney College of Divinity ""Sebastian Moore's writings are familiar in their core goal of healing from brokenness through encounter with Jesus, but strange in the many ways Moore starts us off and gets us there. Dominic Arcamone's book clearly and comprehensively presents Moore's thought, his greatest influences, and their topics, from hidden desires to Trinitarian doctrines. It is a pleasure to read and is richly informative to anyone wanting to know more about Moore and apply his thought to contemporary issues."" --Mark Miller, associate professor of systematic theology, University of San Francisco"
