Francis Joseph Sheed

As the title suggests, this book is a companion to the author's "Theology and sanity", the distinction being that whereas the earlier book was upon man's relation to God, the present one is upon man's relation to man. The first part discusses man as the Christian knows him to be, what he is, what the purpose of his existence is, and what principles should guide beings of that sort or that goal in their dealings with one another. The second part applies these principles to marriage and the family, the third part to society and the state.

Society and Sanity

Peter Brown

Saint Augustine (Bishop of Hippo.)

The second Hackett edition of the Sheed translation, a classic in its own right, offers a wealth of notes on philosophical, theological, historical, and liturgical issues raised by the Confessions, as well as paragraph numbers of the Latin critical edition, and a thorough index.

Confessions

Theology for Beginners has been acclaimed as one of the outstanding modern introductions to theology. It is a clear, precise, a nd inspiring com-pendium of the central doctrines of the Christian faith.

Theology for Beginners

Mirth and Meditation from the Brush and Brain of Jean Charlot

Cartoons Catholic

Frank Sheed (d. 1981) and Maisie Ward (d. 1975) were a remarkable couplefounders of Sheed & Ward publishers, authors of innumerable books on Catholic history, theology, and spirituality, and pioneers in promoting the Catholic Revival of the 20th century. Frank Sheed was the best known Catholic apologist of the century (perhaps second overall to C.S. Lewis), while Maisie Ward won renown for her biographies and lives of the saints. By linking the lives of a married couple this work presents a husband and wife who gave themselves to the promotion and justification of the Christian life, who aimed to invigorate the Catholic mind, and whose life-work helped bring the Church to a new level of maturity and respectability.

Spiritual Writings

Genesis Regained

Roman Catholics believe that the Church, in essence cannot change, and the author naturally shares this faith. But that does not answer the question aked in the title of this book, which then becomes a criterion for testing new developments in teaching and practice within the Church. The author discusses changes in the liturgy and the development of the Churh's understang of marriage, and restates some principles that tend to be overlooked. His long experience of lecturing on theology in seninaries, and explaining the faith in lucid, straightforward terms at outdoor meetings, makes him well qualified to discuss the changes brought about by Vatican II.
