Systematic Theology: Roman Catholic Perspectives, 2nd ed.

Unique among contemporary resources, the landmark Systematic Theology and its distinguished contributors present the major areas, or loci, of Roman Catholic theology in light of contemporary developments—especially the See-change since Vatican II thought, the best new historical studies of traditional doctrines and Scripture, and the diverse creative impulses that come from recent philosophy and hermeneutics, culture and praxis, and ecumenical contacts.

Comprehensive and authoritative, this new volume combines and updates both previous volumes. Incorporating into the framework nearly 20 years of fresh thought and bibliography in each area, the second edition adds revisions to key articles to take account of a diverse, fluid, and postmodern situation. Beyond that, however, the often completely recast contributions demonstrate the brilliant possibilities for contemporary systematic theology, thoroughly rooted in the tradition yet absolutely pertinent to today’s context.

With the Logos Bible Software edition of Systematic Theology, every word is essentially a link, equipping you to search the entire volume for a particular verse or topic—“eucharist” or “penance,” for example. This gives you instant access to a wealth of information on twentieth- and twenty-first-century Catholic theology.
