The Foundation is pleased to announce that Nelson Orringer's fine new translation of The Dynamic Structure of Reality has been published by the University of Illinois Press. This brings to four the number of Zubiri's works which have been published in English. The book may be ordered through any bookseller, or go to Amazon.com

We are continuing our long-term cooperative arrangement with the Seminário Missionário Arquidiocesano Redemptoris Mater, in Brasilia, to help staff its faculty. The Seminário, under its rector, R.P. Xavier Sotil Baylos, uses Zubiri's works as the core of its formation in philosophy. It believes that only Zubiri's philosophy is capable of confronting, in a suffficiently radical way, the intellectual problems the Church faces today, especially modernism and post-modernism. wPresident Fowler has given a course there, as has Board of Directors member Nelson Orringer. Prospective Zubiri teachers are asked to contact the Foundation about future teaching oportunities. It is a great place to teach, learn, and study! President Fowler also continues to give lectures on Zubiri's philosophy at the "Redemptoris Mater" Seminary in Washington, DC.

***************************************************************************************

The English translation of Zubiri's theology trilogy has been completed by Mr. Joaquin Redondo. The trilogy comprises Man and God, The Philosophical Problem of the History of Religions, and Christianity. The Foundation is in the process of finding a publisher for these works. In the meantime, interested readers may read them on Mr. Redondo's web site.
