Holiness Befits Your House: Documentation On The Canonization of Edith Stein edited by John Sullivan OCD STD


Paperback: Holiness Befits Your House (2000) acquaints the reader with major Vatican pronouncements made at the time of Edith Stein's canonization in 1998, as well as the Pope's homily at the Eucharist of her beatification on 1 May 1987.

You can read how the niece of St Edith interprets (Jewish) family sentiment about the canonization, and learn the official position of the United States' bishops clearly outlined by their representative for Catholic-Jewish relations.

About the editor: The editor, Fr John Sullivan OCD, has devised a useful select bibliography to assist further reading. He was last to receive the Edith Stein Award of the Edith Stein Guild, given to acknowledge his efforts "in fostering better understanding between Christians and Jews, specifically by bringing Edith Stein's writings to the English-speaking world."
