Oh Yeah Baby Eat It
“Bottum’s voice is confident and idiosyncratic, playful and wise, plainspoken and deliberate, concerned with dramas large and dramas small.”
The Wisdom of Medieval Scholasticism
“The book not only makes a worthy contribution to anyone interested in understanding Medieval philosophy and the thought of Duns Scotus, but to everybody seeking to deepen their appreciation of human existence and its place in ultimate reality.”
Political Theology for Realists
“…even those who might diverge theologically will find this work to be an extremely useful short primer on the history of Christian political thought.”

An Introduction to a Symposium on Cormac McCarthy
The Duty of the Craftsman: Beauty and Goodness in Cormac McCarthy
“While McCarthy cannot abide optimistic visions of the world, even his most pessimistic moments are checked by beauty and goodness.”

As Likely to End the World as to Save It: Knowledge and Science in Cormac McCarthy
“Man’s pursuit of knowledge and his use of that knowledge to modify and mar the earth and to harm other men is a fairly constant theme in McCarthy’s oeuvre.”
Learning from the Habsburg Mystique
“In these evocative tales we see the goal toward which all seven rules are directed: to love, honor, and serve God in this life so that we may be happy forever with Him in the next.”
The Catholic Enlightenment
“Stuart’s work reminds us that the greatest enemy of the Faith is its abuse by those who profess it.”
