God's Purpose In Things: An Interview With Elizabeth Bruenig, Editor at the Washington Post and Contributor to America Magazine. Elizabeth gives us a general outline of the understanding of property from the Patristic Age, through the Medieval Church, and into the Enlightenment Era. We especially look to St. Augustine's account of creation, fall, and redemption in understanding the political order, rule, and property. The difference this makes for contemporary Catholics is elucidated as well.

God, Kings and the Ruled: An Interview with Dr. Matthew Umbarger About the Old Testament Ambivalence Toward Rulers, and the Implication For Modern Christians. With the Presidential Inauguration coming up, our society has "mixed feelings" to say the least. However, the Old Testament gives witness to the "mixed feelings" our tradition has toward rulers, and although they are not the mixed feelings of our two-party system, they do show the breadth, maturity, and symphonic account of how the faithful are to relate to rulers, and how Jesus Christ brings together the many voices of the Old Testament on that relationship.
