The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson - Single Volume

American Scholar Digital Editions is proud and privileged to offer the twelve volume set of “The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson” in electronic book format for the first time. Our editions are based on the Centenary Edition published in 1903 and edited by Edward Waldo Emerson.

There can hardly be an argument that Ralph Waldo Emerson is the greatest humanist/philosophical mind produced in the Western Hemisphere. Over a 120 years ago, the legendary German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, a man not given to praising his contemporaries much, if at all, picked Emerson as the best there was writing in English. (And he handily reworked Emersonian themes without attribution, I should add.)

From a literary/artistic point of view; the 12 volumes - The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson - represent a truly astonishing body of thought, both in depth and breadth. To read a paragraph, an essay, or an entire volume is to hear a series of bells chiming with truth. The Emersonian style - taut sentences carrying shimmering ideas - cascades page on page, covering the scope of human experience: friendship, death, love, God, nature, commerce, education, evil, grace, politics... Emerson writes on each with a passion and lucidity that always leaves lovers of the finest prose breathless. His poetry (and he thought of himself as primarily a poet) is a fine grouping that takes us along a spiritual journey - from the death of his beloved son - to odes written for a favorite riverbank. His biographies of such figures as Michelangelo, Napoleon and Plato are insightful ... delightful ... and as understanding as any written in the English language.

A classic ‘classic’, “The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson” is a timelessly crafted monument to human intellect. Every page is replete with vintage genius to be sipped and savored like the finest wines.

To be Christians means to be missionaries, to be apostles. It is not enough to discover Christ you must bring him to others! John Paul II, Fourth World Youth Day

Pope John Paul II urged the church repeatedly and persistently to proclaim the gospel to all humanity. This summons to a new evangelization characterized his papacy. But what does the new evangelization mean? And who is supposed to evangelize? What is the role of the parish? Of married couples? How do we evangelize teens? And what are the ecumenical dimensions of evangelism?

In this book twenty-two authors address these and many other issues. Cardinal Avery Dulles describes the evangelical shift in the church since Vatican II; those involved in day-to-day evangelism provide practical tips for evangelizing the poor (Sr. Linda Koontz), street evangelism (Leonard Sullivan), using spiritual gifts (Peter Herbeck) and much more.

John Paul II and the New Evangelization is an inspiring and practical guide to help you answer John Paul II s call to bring the truth to a world sorely in need of Good News.
