"An important and utterly engaging study. . . . Those familiar with Newman's Grammar of Assent and Polanyi's Personal Knowledge will appreciate the ways in which Moleski makes sometimes unexpected connections between the two thinkers, despite Polanyi's critical disposition toward Catholicism. Personal Catholicism is a most welcome contribution to today's rethinking of the relationship between faith and reason. - First Things "Moleski's study is valuable for those interested in exploring the way in which insights from Newman and Polanyi can enlighten how personal commitments function in knowing, faith, and theological reflection. Particularly for students of Polanyi, this study offers an intriguing, albeit unusual, interpretation of his position focusing not on his later elaboration of the structure of tacit knowing, but on his earlier defense of the role of commitment." - Modern Theology "This engaging and lucid study brings into dialogue two thinkers whose methods share much in common despite their different purposes... A principal contribution of Moleski's study is thus its cultivation of the common ground that religion shares with science." - Theological Studies

Cardinal Tommaso de Vio (1469-1534), commonly known as Cajetan, remains a misunderstood figure. Cajetan on Sacred Doctrine is the first ever monograph on Cajetan as a theologian in his own right, and it fills a void in the debate on the nature of sacred doctrine from the Thomism of the Renaissance.
