500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE, EARTH IS A PARADISE... WITHOUT US.
Adrian J Walker creëert meeslepende verhalen die de blijvende menselijke geest onderzoeken tegen de achtergrond van overweldigende tegenspoed. Zijn werk duikt vaak in thema's als hoop, liefde en veerkracht, vooral in post-apocalyptische settings. Door zijn onderscheidend fantasierijke vertelstijl nodigt Walker lezers uit om de fundamentele aspecten te overwegen van wat het betekent om vol te houden en betekenis te vinden, zelfs als de wereld zoals wij die kennen is vergaan. Zijn sciencefiction-verkenningen wagen zich ook in dystopische toekomsten, waarbij maatschappelijke structuren en de menselijke conditie worden bevraagd.

Two great theologians endeavor to recover the centrality of Marian doctrine and devotion for the contemporary Church, offering a spiritually rich approach to Mariology that brings into new relief the Marian contours of ecclesial faith. Ratzinger and von Balthasar show that Mary is both the embodiment of the Church, and the mother who co-operates in giving birth to the Church in the souls of believers. At once profound and yet readily accessible, The Church at the Source offers a theologically balanced and biblically grounded presentation of traditional and contemporary thought on Marian doctrine and spirituality.
