The Catholic Media Association recently announced the winners of the 2024 Catholic Media Association Book Awards! This program recognizes the outstanding work of publishers, authors, and book editors that support the faith-filled life of Catholic readers. We are excited to announce that six outstanding books from Notre Dame Press have received top honors this year.

Pope Francis and Mercy:
A Dynamic Theological Hermeneutic

by Gill K. Goulding, CJ

Second Place, Pope Francis

“Goulding delivers a thorough, concisely-argued elucidation of the theological concept of mercy under Francis.”

Heythrop Journal

God without the Idea of Evil
by Jean-Miguel Garrigues, O.P.

Second Place, English Translation Edition

“This little work is destined to be a spiritual classic, and it is so because it has so many pages that are of such simple (and rare) beauty. It is deeply biblical throughout, and draws not only on the wisdom of Aquinas but also of Fathers such as Irenaeus, spiritual writers such as Catherine of Siena, and the works of the artists Fra Angelico and André Rublev.”

—Michael D. Torre, editor of An Yves R. Simon Reader

Touch the Wounds:
On Suffering, Trust, and Transformation

by Tomáš Halík

Second Place, Popular Presentation of the Catholic Faith

“One of the most profound meditations on suffering, from a Christian perspective, that I have ever read.”

—James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray

Global Initiatives of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew:
Peace, Reconciliation, and Care for Creation

Edited by John Chryssavgis

• Second Place, Ecumenism or Interfaith Relations •

“This important collection reveals Patriarch Bartholomew’s consistent and unrelenting concern to connect the Christian faith and Christian moral values with the moral questions that lie behind political choices and challenge governments, churches, and individuals.”

—Brian Daley, S.J., author of God Visible

Josef Pieper on the Spiritual Life:
Creation, Contemplation, and Human Flourishing

by Nathaniel A. Warne

Third Place, First Time Author of Theological Subject Matters

“The academic study of Pieper, combined with an intense focus on what it means for us to contemplate, gives this book a practical and urgent focus.”

—Lewis Ayres, author of Augustine and the Trinity

Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Theology of Representation:
God, Drama, and Salvation

by Jacob Lett

• Honorable Mention, First Time Author of Theological Subject Matters

“This fine book, by a most promising young scholar, is not only intellectually rewarding, it is prayerfully pondered—from cover to cover.”
