After
half a century, still the greatest one-volume compendium of Catholic teaching
ever published
First published in German in 1952, Professor Ludwig Ott’s Fundamentals
of Catholic Dogma instantly became an indispensable reference for priests, teachers
and families. Comprehensive yet concise, it provides in a single large volume
clear explanations of every Catholic doctrinal teaching—along with their
foundations in Scripture, Tradition, Church councils, papal pronouncements,
and the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. And unlike any other compendium of
doctrine before or since, it provides the “Theological Grade of Certainty”
for every teaching it contains. Now this timeless masterwork is available in
durable hardcover for the first time in decades.
Ott
begins with an introduction to the science of theology itself, explaining its
principles, methods, vocabulary, and system of classification. He also shows
you how to distinguish the Catholic understanding of the “development
of dogma” from the heretical version, and how to differentiate the three
kinds of Catholic truth and the six grades of theological certainty.
The book is organized into five major sections, covering the entire range of
Catholic teaching according to the divisions of traditional catechesis:

“Quite the most remarkable work of compression of its kind that I have
encountered”.—James Bastible, University College, Cork
“German scholars are famous for first-rate handbooks; this is a splendid
specimen. It covers the field of dogmatic theology and is translated into clear,
readable English…Excellent summaries are given of disputed questions…highly
recommended to priests engaged in teaching religion in high school or college.
For educated laymen it is a fine summary of what the priest learned in the seminary.”—America
(1956)
