By Rev. Henry Formby
of the Third Order of St. Dominic
Imprimatur: 1872
A profound and scholarly study of the Holy Rosary, presenting its fifteen mysteries through the teachings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, while also revealing their foreshadowing in the figures and events of the Old Testament. Intended as a powerful safeguard against unbelief, this work demonstrates the harmony of Sacred Scripture, Tradition, and Catholic doctrine through the mysteries of human redemption.
The author draws extensively from the writings of the great saints and theologians, many of whose works were likely presented in English for the first time. Particular care is taken to illustrate the successive stages of God's plan of salvation, showing how each mystery of the Rosary bears witness to a distinct and instructive aspect of the Divine work of redemption.
Beautifully enhanced with 36 full-page illustrations designed by Clasen, D. Mosler, and J. H. Powell, this volume combines doctrinal depth, spiritual insight, and artistic beauty, making it a valuable resource for both study and devotion.
