Book Published

 

Edith Stein and the Body-Soul-Spirit at the Center of Holistic Formation

 

Sr. Marian Maskulak, CPS, recently published a book titled, Edith Stein and the Body-Soul-Spirit at the Center of Holistic Formation. With a particular emphasis on the soul, this book explores Edith Stein’s holistic conception of the human being’s body-soul-spirit unity, which forms the foundation of her Christian anthropology and her view of human formation.  Characterized by an unremitting attention to interconnections, Edith Stein emerges as a forerunner of contemporary holistic approaches.  This book demonstrates the breadth and relevance of Edith Stein’s work by engaging her thought with the anthropological views of fellow phenomenologist, John Paul II, Wilkie Au’s perspectives on holistic spirituality and formation, and several nonreductionist, neuroscientific viewpoints of the human being.  The book also makes available to the English reader a significant amount of material form Edith Stein’s untranslated works.

 

The book is available through the publisher, Peter Lang Publishing, as well as through numerous vendors on the internet.
