Celebrating Eternity Now: A Study in the Theology of St. Alphonsus de Liguori (1696-1787)

The first, full-length study in English of this amazing theologian, saint, and author. It shows Alphonsus shaping a theology out of his experience in the classroom, the opera house, and the law courts a theology that still survives today in over 20,000 editions of his works. As Swanston points out, eternal truths are communicated in story, and Alphonsus is a better teller of tales than many modern narrative theologians.
