Pohle-Preuss Manual of Dogmatic Theology
Pohle-Preuss Manual of Dogmatic Theology
12 Volumes in a Six Book set
by Fr. Joseph Pohle S.J.
Many Catholics living today can remember when priests were well trained in theology and could express the Faith properly in their sermons and in their writing. That is because they were given sound teaching at the seminary in Logic, Philosophy, and Dogmatic Theology from textbooks such as this 12 volume set. The famous Pohle-Preuss Manual was used in many seminaries in America and other countries prior to the 1950's when seminary training began to go downhill.
This particular manual was used in the Jesuit seminary where Fr. Leonard Feeney, who was one called by his Jesuit superior "the greatest theologian we have in America...by far" was trained. This beautiful hardbound series is an exact reproduction of the edition originally published in 1911, and it was written by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph Pohle an edited by Arthur Preuss.
Joseph Pohle was a Jesuit and one of the founding faculty members of the Catholic University of America as well as a frequent contributor to the Catholic Encyclopedia. He died in 1922 after having produced one of the clearest and most succinct and useful systematic studies of Catholic theology ever published. This series is invaluable for priests, seminarians, and anyone interested in a systematic study of dogmatic theology.
The original publication was in 12 separate volumes. This set has been re-issued as a complete set of 12 volumes in six books.
BOOK ONE
Volume 1 - God: His Knowability, Essence, and Attributes
BOOK TWO
Volume 2 - The Divine Trinity
Volume 3 - God: The Author of Nature and the Supernatural

Volume 5 - Soteriology
Volume 6 - Mariology

What Faith Really Means
What Faith Really Means
by Fr. Henry G. Graham
What does Divine Faith really mean? No one outside the Catholic Church can answer the question with any certainty. Something indefinite concerning God and our Lord Jesus Christ, a vague and hazy notion about the truths of religion, is all that the term conveys to the non-Catholic mind.
And yet it is the most important question for the souls of men. For Our Lord said, "Unless you believe you shall be condemned" (Mark 16:16). What am I to believe? This is the puzzling problem that perturbs the soul of every well-disposed man and woman outside the fold of the Church.
They search in vain for something certain to hold on to, and the more they search amongst the non-Catholic creeds, the more they find confusion worse confounded.
What Faith Really Means, by Fr. Henry Graham, author of Where We Got the Bible, shows clearly the difference between Catholic Faith and Protestant trust in Jesus as Personal Saviour. It shows what Catholic Faith really means and why it is all-encompassing and soul-satisfying, as opposed to Protestant faith, which is really only trust in Jesus plus one's own interpretation of the Bible. This book is crucial for today when so many young Catholics are deserting their Faith for Protestant denominations.

The Genius of Christianity
The Genius of Christianity
The Spirit and Beauty of the Christian Religion
by Viscount de Chateaubriand
François-René de Chateaubriand was a French writer, diplomat, and romantic whose work greatly influenced the French literary world of the early 19th century. Born in 1768 to a wealthy family, Chateaubriand joined the royalist army in 1793 as the French Revolution reached its apex. After being wounded at the siege of Thionville, he was forced to exile himself to London until 1800, when he finally returned to Paris. It was there that Chateaubriand, disturbed by the nihilistic and anti-Christian sentiments brought on by the revolution, penned The Genius of Christianity. In this prodigious work of apologetics, Chateaubriand defends Christianity against Enlightenment attacks, focusing particularly on the ways in which it nurtures and enriches art, literature, architecture, and culture.

My Picture Book of First Confession
My Picture Book of First Confession
by Brother Maria Cassianus Versteeg
This beautifully illustrated book, with its companion, My Picture Book of First Communion, was originally written by a Dutch religious, Brother Maria Cassianus Versteeg, as one among a series of books for children printed by their Orphanage Printing House.
The original Dutch needed a good deal of adaptation during the translation process, so in reconstructing the text, we borrowed heavily from the work of Mother Mary Loyola, who would have been a rough contemporary.
The result is a brief yet comprehensive preparation for these important Sacraments which pairs nicely with the more thorough presentation of the same in the books of Mother Mary Loyola, which were long considered the "gold standard" in Catechesis.

Disputed Questions About Redemption
Disputed Questions About Redemption
The Theological Notion of the Paschal Mystery
by Fr. Alvaro Calderon
Before the Second Vatican Council, neo-Modernists developed a new theology on Redemption. It characterized Redemption as a paschal mystery centered on Easter rather than as a payment of sin on the Cross. In this critical volume, Fr. Calderon masterfully distills the problems of post-Vatican II ecclesiastical and liturgical theology into four key questions. By doing so, he guides readers through the necessarily dense but important issues concerning the Mass while correcting and refuting modernist errors. His use of Thomistic reasoning demonstrates powerfully how philosophically and theologically flawed the contemporary Catholic Church’s ecclesiastical worldview remains and why its tenets cannot stand up to serious scrutiny.
“The fundamental question of the reform of the Mass is discussed here under three aspects: theological, liturgical, and pastoral. Combining rigorous thought with forceful expression, these essays propose a lucid vision of the current crisis.”—Fr. Álvaro Calderón
