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.
