Publisher's Synopsis
One of the greatest theologians of modern times, Matthias Joseph Scheeben (1835-1888), brought out a "Handbuch der katholischen Dogmatik" in 7 parts from 1873 to 1887. This tour de force of a refined, lofty, intensely religious scholasticism was conveniently distilled into a 2-volume English handbook by Dr. Wilhelm and Fr. Scannell. Long out of print, the republishing of this Manual will assist and inspire a new generation of theologians who are striving to rediscover the riches of Catholic theology in continuity with the great tradition of the Fathers, Doctors, and mystics of the Church, especially St. Thomas Aquinas.
