The True Religion: Dogmatic Theology Volume 1

This book is part of our Arouca Press Reprints series and is volume 1 of Van Noort's classic series on dogmatic theology. It was translated into English in 1955. It features an exact reproduction of the interior and includes a newly designed cover. 

An excerpt from the Preface: 

"People occasionally complain that it is difficult to find a complete up-to-date, scientific course of dogmatic theology in English. It is our sincere hope that the present translation of Monsignor Van Noort's series of dogmatic textbooks will meet the need implicit in that complaint. 

All priests know of many excellent manuals of theology in Latin. Many, however, confess that their long years in the ministry have seen them lose their mastery of that language and, as a consequence, the urge to pick up their seminary textbooks is not too strong. Our own teaching experience forces us to admit that many seminarians whose knowledge of Latin is insufficient fail to derive all that they should from their course in theology. Then, too, with the recent growth of interest in theology, a considerable number of nuns, brothers, and educated laymen who wish to study theology scientifically find the door barred to them because they do not know Latin. We sincerely hope that this work will make available to all interested students a full course of dogmatic theology in English."
