    • S. 39: „The publishers of What Catholic Believe and Leisure the Basis of Culture have again gone to Germany to bring us some grown-up Catholicism. This collection of short essays born unter pressure at the height oft he Nazi wave is an open-eyed and hard-headed consideration of some basic facts of faith as they meet the modern mind. There is no side-stepping in it, no waltzing around problems. The circumstances in which the essays were written forbade evasion and made trite answers patently futile. And those circumstances were no more than a crisis-illuminated moment of the split world through which we, quite as much as did the Germans oft en years ago, carry the burden of faith. A group of Christian writers searching for "ways and means of informing and strengthening the minds of bewildered and harassed people“ hit upon the plan of publishing small pamphlets which could be distributed as letter enclosures in which they would offer „a restatement in terms of contemporary life and experience, of the eternal spiritual and humane verities." These twelve essays which Father Guardini had contributed to the series before it was stopped "by devious means," were also delivered (at least most of them) as evening lectures in a Berlin church, "to an audience of the most varied background, including all denominations, threatened from without by air raids and from within by the ever-present secret police." We are told that the essays were not planned as parts of an integral whole but grew spontaneously and separately out of questions asked by people in spiritual stress. Perhaps that is a help rather than otherwise. For each topic is gone at as if the entire defense of Christianity rested upon it. The first is on „Adoration.““

    • S. 280: „More books like this should be written. Originally twelve lectures given in a Berlin church during World War II, these essays by Father Guardini contain a restatement, in terms of contemporary life and experience, of the Church's apologetic teaching. Writing in the tradition of de Lubac, Guardini sets out to re-examine and clarify for modern man various fundamentals of the Catholic faith, particularly those aspects of it that are challenged in the modern world. In order he treats adoration, God's patience, God's dominion and man's freedom, the Lordship of Christ, providence, purgatory. There is little doubt that this European priest is in touch with the modern intellectual mind, even the modern peasant or proletarian mind. However, it is strange that the author has nothing on the natural moral law; nor does he treat in any of its aspects the social and political philosophy of the Church, particularly as it relates to the poor and underprivileged, minority rights , international order, Church and State. In a section of the world where the Communist mystique threatens what is left of Christian culture in Europe (as Hitlerism did earlier), such treatises would not be without value. The thing that I like about this book is that it appeals to the whole man, not merely to his mind. It is argumentative without being polemic, dispassionate without being cold. The mistake frequently made in apologetic treatises, even when they are of the essay type, is that they seem to imply that a Q.E.D. means a converted soul. Guardini does not fall into that error. All of his chapters are not equally valuable, as one might expect. I thought well of his chapters on faith, where obviously he is writing out of great experience with people. His treatment of the Lordship of Christ is quite pertinent. If chapters could be added on grace, the Mystical Body of Christ, and the sacramental system, this would be a fine manual for the instruction of converts. I do not see, for the life of me, why even essays cannot be indexed.“
