Readers of this review will already be familiar with the name of Edith Stein—or Sister Benedicta, as we prefer to call her (cf. the May 1949, February and April 1950 issues of Life of the Spirit). Of her life something has been said, and the translation of her biography should soon be available in English. We are now able to enter more deeply into her thought through die publication of her works. In 1949 Schnell and Steiner Verlag of Munich published some of her essays on woman's vocation under the title Frauenbildung und Frauenberufe. Meanwhile Dr Gelber of Louvain and Fr Romaeus Leuven, O.C.D., have been preparing an edition of her complete works, which are being published jointly by Herder Verlag of Freiburg and Nauwelaerts of Louvain. Some eight volumes are envisaged of which two have appeared in 1950. The second, Kreuzeswissenschaft ('The Science of the Cross’), can be described here along with the earlier work on Roman's vocation.
