In an attempt to tempt the Son of God, a question is asked by one doctor of the law among the Pharisees: "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?" Christ Jesus promptly responds with the greatest and first of the commandments: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind." In his grand Summa, St Thomas, recalling the words of St Augustine before him, affirms that "naught is loved save what is known". This second volume of A Manual of Catholic Theology Vol. II systematically presents the Church's teachings on God the Redeemer. Organized from the multi-volume handbook of dogmatic theology composed by the renowned 19th century theologian and mystic Fr. Matthias Joseph Scheeben, Wilhelm and Scannell map concise explanations of theological doctrines in a coherent arrangement with marginal headings for quick and easy reference.
