Sacrae Theologiae Summa (Set of 8)

Originally written in Latin in the mid-1950s by Jesuit priests and published in Spain, these books were intended to be used as textbooks to teach the Catholic Faith to future priests when Latin was the traditional language used in seminaries.

Now these textbooks have been translated into English by Father Kenneth Baker, S.J. for use in our English-speaking seminaries.

This monumental 8-volume series on Dogmatic Theology has been called the “best summary of Scholastic Theology available” and is an invaluable aid for all Priests and Seminarians!
