Herbert McCabe, who died in 2001, was one of the most intelligent Roman Catholic thinkers of the 20th century. An influence on philosophers such as Anthony Kenny and Alasdair MacIntyre, he was also befriended by poets and literary critics such as Seamus Heaney and Terry Eagleton. Equally at home in philosophy and theology, he despized jargon and intellectual posturing as a substitute for reason and argument. At the time of his death, he left much unpublished material. In "God Still Matters" we have the chance to read McCabe on the topics that interested him most: philosophy of God, Christology, fundamental theology, sacramental theology and ethics.

This collection is of Herbert McCabe's sermons and spiritual addresses. Never platitudinous or short of ideas, these chapters are filled with questions, arguments and solid intellectual content. The major influence on McCabe was the Bible but he was also a devoted admirer of the thought of St Thomas Aquinas, whose ideas saturated his public speaking. From the Bible, McCabe derived the notion of God leading us to happiness through the work of grace and through the life and teachings of Jesus. From Aquinas, McCabe derived a hatred of idolatry, a powerful sense of the incomprehensibility of God and a recognition that we depend on God's gracious revelation of himself rather that what we can work out on the basis of our limited understanding. A presiding theme in this book is that we are saved because of the life of someone fully human.

This work demonstrates the depth and clarity of Herbert McCabe's theology and philosophy of God, his appetite for controversy, both political and theolgical, as well as a traditional catholic concern for prayer, liturgy, Mary and St Dominic.
