This is the first of a series of reprints by Arouca Press. It features an exact reproduction of the interior from the original work published in 1957. From the inside of the original: "This volume is one of the most interesting in the series. It gives a full treatment of the Church, how it was considered through the ages, what others object to in Catholic teaching and what true theology can prove to be the case. While accurately adhering to the original the translators have made extensive revisions in text and bibliography, thus bringing the work fully up to date and making it uniquely useful to English-speaking readers. Teachers, seminarians, religious, the clergy and informed laity alike will find the work a rich source of theological exactness. The theses are at once brief and comprehensive, the argumentation succinct and solid, the style simple and clear."
