"It seems opportune for Catholic theology, struggling to find its way in the mists of contemporary loss of faith, to return to the greatest theologians who prepared the way for the Second Vatican Council in order to carry forward the evangelizing and Christocentric mission of that Council. Now is the time to retrieve the Roman-trained spiritual master Matthias Joseph Scheeben—and there is no better place to begin than with this towering masterpiece on Christ the Savior. Read­ing Scheeben, one finds oneself immersed in Scripture and Tradition, as he effortlessly probes into the details of scriptural and patristic thought, guided by the overarching framework of the high medieval and post-Tridentine reception of the Catholic dogmatic inheritance. Do you wish to be a theologian? Read this book!"" - Gerhard Cardinal Müller Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"

Author Information

Matthias Joseph Scheeben (1835-1888) was a German priest and scholar whose theology points to the inner coherence of the Christian faith and its supernatural mysteries. Notable in his own time, Scheeben later received praise from Pope Pius XI, who in 1935 encouraged study of the late theologian's works, reflecting: ""The entire theology of Scheeben bears the stamp of a pious ascetical theology."" Hans Urs von Balthasar credited Scheeben as ""the greatest German theologian to date."" Scheeben's works include Nature and Grace, The Mysteries of Christianity, and the unfinished Handbook of Catholic Dogmatics.
