Like the first Hackett edition of the Augustine's Confessions , the
second edition features F. J. Sheed's remarkable translation of
this classic spiritual autobiography with an Introduction by noted
historian of late antiquity Peter Brown. New to this edition are a
wealth of notes on literary, philosophical, biblical, historical,
and liturgical topics by Michael P. Foley, an Editor's Preface, a
map, a timeline, paragraph numbers in the text, a glossary, and a
thorough index. The text itself has been completely reset, with
textual and explanatory notes placed at the foot of the page for
easy reference.
Theology for Beginners is one of the most outstanding presentations
of the central doctrines of the Christian faith ever penned. After
showing how God is Spirit, the author examines God s infinity and
man s creation from nothing, and then moves on to the Trinity, the
Fall, the Incarnation and Redemption, the Mystical Body, Grace and
the Sacraments, and the Last Things. For those to whom these
doctrines once seemed formidable, Sheed's is a fresh voice of lucid
and carefully reasoned prose. To read Theology for Beginners is to
have one s mind awakened to the spiritual realities at the center
of human existence.
F. J. Sheed was one of the best-known Catholic apologists of
the 20th century. He and his wife, Masie, founded the Catholic
publishing house of Sheed & Ward. They were also outstanding
public lecturers as part of the Catholic Evidence Guild.
Sheed's classic translation of Augustine's Confessions. True to the
original, and in a subtle and dignified English translation, let
this be a cornerstone of your library.

An extraordinary new edition of Frank Sheed's classic work. His
masterful account of the life of Christ Jesus stands on its own,
but Christ walks again among the pages of this book in a unique
way: over 100 illustrations from the French artist James Tissot's
outstanding series on the Life of Christ have been carefully
selected and chronologically placed. Tissot's dynamic realism,
combined with Sheed's lucid prose, make this one of the most
beautifully illustrated and profoundly moving lives of Our Lord
ever published.
Here we meet Christ in his obedience, his compassion, his
tears, his joy, his relation to Mary and the disciples, and in his
unequalled and unsparing words that mined the depths of reality,
and of real lives. We come to know Christ as he touched the lives
of each person among the multitudes that followed him, and we
realize that he is with us likewise--in each moment of our own
lives.
