Volume six of the Collected Essays of Peter Damian Fehlner, entitled simply, St. Maximilian Kolbe, gathers together Fehlner's essays on the great Conventual Franciscan saint and martyr. These works come mainly from the journal founded by Kolbe, Miles Immaculatae, and were composed in the 1980s when Fehlner was editor of said journal. Readers of this volume will note the close connection to the themes of ecclesiological renewal and the Conventual Franciscan charism treated in volume five, as Fehlner worked to integrate and synthesize Kolbe's Mariological and pneumatological insights in a context of ecclesial mission and evangelization. The essays in this volume form a mosaic of Kolbean theology and spirituality, mapping out the geography of Fehlner's own theological itinerary that will reach, in terms of scholarly output, its final destination in his posthumous Theologian of Auschwitz (2019). Themes addressed, among others, in this volume include Kolbe's understanding of the history and unity of the Franciscan Order, the Trinity in relation to Immaculate Conception, creation and evolution, consecration, Kolbe's vision for Niepokalanow, Kolbe and the contemporary magisterium, and Kolbe's relevance for a contemporary retrieval of Bonaventure's theology of history.

Reviews for St. Maximilian Kolbe

"""Fr. Peter Damien Fehlner clearly ranks as one of the greatest Mariologists in the second half of the twentieth century. One of his numerous Mariological fortes was his masterful grasp and articulation of the genius of St. Maximilian Kolbe. This volume puts forth perennial pearls of Kolbean Marian insight."" --Mark Miravelle, professor of theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville ""There is a growing interest in the thought and spirituality of St. Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941). In this volume, Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, OFM Conv. (1931-2018), proves himself to be a master of Kolbe's Marian thought. For those wishing a deeper understanding of Kolbe's theology of the Immaculate, the purpose of total consecration, and the meaning of 'the slavery of love, ' this book by Fr. Fehlner cannot be recommended enough."" --Robert Fastiggi, professor of dogmatic theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary ""Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner was to me a friend, a teacher, a counselor, and a model of holiness and deep learning, and I am pleased that many more scholars and students can now share his company in the pages of his collected works and essays. Fr. Fehlner is a true master of the Franciscan theological tradition, worthy to share the intellectual company of Bonaventure, Scotus, Kolbe, and Bonnefoy, and has a profound contribution to make to a wide range of related fields, especially cosmology, ecclesiology, pneumatology, and Mariology."" --Scott W. Hahn, professor of biblical theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville"
