A Survey of Catholic Theology, 1800-1970

Here at last, in one book, is an account of the great movements that swept through Catholic theology since the middle of the nineteenth century. All the great personages are here--Newman, Blondel, Rahner, Chardin, Karl Adam, and the Modernists Loisy and Tyrrell. Fascinating and always readable, this book is a must for any library or person concerned with the development of modern religious thought.



""I have the greatest admiration for Fr. Schoof's book--not only because, in it, he succeeds in putting a very complex history most suggestively into words, but above all because he also shows clear ability to make analytical distinctions and on this basis provides the reader with a very compelling synthesis.""
--Edward Schillebeeckx OP

T. Mark Schoof has been a member of the Dominican Order since 1951. After studying for four years at Oxford, he obtained his doctorate in theology at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, Holland. He taught history of theology at Nijmegen.
