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. Schoofs 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.
