El. knyga: Oxford Handbook of Catholic Theology

Lewis Ayres and Medi Ann Volpe have edited an elegant volume of 962 pages that is laudable for its clarity, thematic focus, and, surprisingly, succinctness ... This first edition of the Oxford Handbook is eminently recommendable for anyone entering the field of Catholic theology today and will certainly be a valuable reference work for anyone of any confession who is seeking to become acquainted with the lay of the land. * Peter J. Casarella, The Thomist: A Speculative Quarterly Review * In conclusion, The Oxford Handbook of Catholic Theology is a valuable theological resource ... the Handbook provides many contextually sensitive, precise, and concise expositions of Catholic doctrine that will help readers to understand what the church teaches on a given topic and what the historical circumstances were that led to the formulation of that teaching. * Daniel Waldow, Newman Studies Journal * Ayres (Durham Univ., UK) and Volpe (formerly, Emory Univ. and Durham Univ.) gathered an outstanding group of scholars to contribute to this volume. The 56 essays are divided into two parts. Part 1, "Catholic Teaching," provides an invaluable overview of the content of Catholic belief. ... Part 2, "Modern Catholic Theology," is divided into two subsections. The first, "Sources of Catholic Theology up to Vatican I," begins with essays on key patristic, monastic, and scholastic sources, and subsequent essays carry the history through the first Vatican Council. The second subsection, "Catholic Theology since 1870," provides a well-balanced introduction to contemporary Catholic theology. ... Combining reliable exposition with fresh insights and perspectives, this volume will be valuable to both beginning and advanced scholars. * J. Gresham, CHOICE * The Oxford Handbook of Catholic Theology provides an encyclopaedic account of theology, soundly based in the Scriptures and Catholic history. It is a welcome addition to the prestigious series of Oxford Handbooks. * Gerald O'Collins, The Tablet * The Oxford Handbook of Catholic Theology, publishedby the Oxford University Press in 2023, is complex and well written, and is not only an important tool for understanding the complexity of Catholicism and its value, but also a work that helps readers, Catholic and otherwise, to understand the complexity of the Catholic realm, its historical relevance and its heritage. * Iuliu-Marius Morariu, Astra Salvensis - review of history and culture *
