A Manual of Catholic Theology | |
Joseph Wilhelm; Patrick B. Scannell | |
In the grand tradition of St. Anselm's famous phrase, | |
Fides quærens intellectum ("Faith seeking | |
understanding"), this short manual of Catholic | |
theology gives the English-speaking reader an | |
insight into the treasure-box of the Church's | |
theological thinking. The authors have admirably | |
distilled centuries of thought and development into | |
an accessible and compact form, allowing layman and | |
seasoned theologian alike access to these | |
incalculable riches. | |
Starting from the standpoint of faith, first | |
and foremost, and applying human reason to faith in | |
the tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas, the authors | |
lead us through all the major topics of revelation: | |
what revelation is, Who God is, what God has made, | |
how creation has fallen, how God has chosen to | |
redeem it, and what are our last ends. | |
Over the course of these two volumes, the reader | |
will increasingly apply St. Anselm's other great | |
maxim: Credo ut intelligam ("I believe so | |
that I might understand"). The reader cannot help | |
but have a better and more thorough understanding | |
of the divine Faith after reading these great | |
manuals. | |
