Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of St. Alphonsus Maria De Liguori, Doctor of the Church, Bishop of Saint Agatha, and Founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, Vol. 1: Part II. Special Correspondence
The Special Correspondence of St. Alphonsus contains the letters written by the holy Doctor in support of his System Of Moral, as also those which he wrote for the direction of the printing Of his works; under the same title are also included, the pastoral ordinances Of the saintly Bishop and the princi pal documents relative to the government of his diocese. NO longer is it the zealous Founder that speaks, no longer, the director of souls: but the writer, the theologian, the bishop. Scientific letters, pastoral letters, such is the nat ural division of this correspondence.
The term scientific, in its strictest sense, applies to but a small number of letters; we have thought fit, nevertheless, to designate by this title all those which relate to the writings Of the saint. Very Often, in fact, side by side with details of secondary value, these letters contain important remarks bearing on the very foundation of theology.
