by Ralph McInerny (Notre Dame Press)
Ralph
McInerny may be better known for his Father Dowling mysteries,
but the Notre Dame philosophy professor is also a gifted scholar.
In his biography of Catholic philosopher Maritain, he weaves the
biographical details of Maritain's life with his intellectual
and spiritual growth, bringing the intellectual life of the Thomistic
scholar to lived reality.
The structure of the book is modeled on the medieval book of
hours, following Maritain and his wife, Raissa, through the stages
of life.
