Review
The renewal of a humble, grateful confidence in their call and identity is a top priority for us priests today. This excellent work really helps, and is worthwhile spiritual reading. --Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan
If the priesthood is to be renewed, and it surely must be, the renewal must take the form described by Father Toups. With clarity, simplicity, and a thorough mastery of the literature, he shows that the essence of the ministerial priesthood consists in the sacramental character that configures the ordained to Christ the High Priest. --Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.
In Reclaiming Our Priestly Character, Father David Toups links a careful theological study of priesthood with a wise and practical spirituality. This rare and much needed synthesis will greatly benefit priests, seminarians, indeed, anyone in the Church who cares about the renewal of the priesthood. --Fr. Louis J. Cameli, S.T.D.
