A Bleg from an Academic Friend of Mine

Could you ask your list on the blog about what book by Edith Stein or any other 20th century theologian they would recommend to assign to an advanced undergraduate class? I would like to use either a book by Edith Stein or Theresa of Lisieux or something similar and I would be interested in knowing if any of your list members has any sense of what might be useful for undergrads?

Any ideas?

The catalogue of her collected works is here. Which work is best for your purpose depends on your purpose. If you're looking for something to nourish undergraduate spirituality, "The Hidden Life" would work for undergrads; if you want something more academic, try "The Problem of Empathy" or "Knowledge and Faith."

Best,
Mike

They could read New Elucidations by Hans Urs von Balthasar. I think it would work better than Elucidations, because the chapters are more clearly linked.
