The magnum opus of preeminent nineteenth-century German theologian Matthias Scheeben, the Handbook of Catholic Dogmatics is among the most substantial, erudite, and compelling works of Catholic dogmatic theology in the modern era. Scheeben addresses with clarity and depth the fundamental mysteries of divine revelation, the triune God, creation, grace, sin, and salvation, deftly interweaving biblical, historical, and speculative concerns. Presented here for the first time in English in Michael J. Miller’s masterful translation, the eight volumes of Scheeben’s six-book Dogmatics include:

Book One: Theological Epistemology
1.1 The Objective Principles of Theological Knowledge
1.2 Theological Knowledge Considered in Itself

Book Two: Doctrine about God, Or Theology in the Narrower Sense

Book Three: God in His Fundamental, Original Relation to the World

Book Four: Sin and the Kingdom of Sin as a Contradiction and a Combat against the Supernatural Order of the World

Book Five: Soteriology
5.1 The Person of Christ the Redeemer
5.2 The Work of Christ and the Role of His Virgin Mother

Book Six: The Realization of the Salvation Merited by Christ in Individual Human Beings through the Justifying Grace of Christ
