Dogmatic Theology by Pohle Finaly Under Development




Well, it took a while but it finally happened, Father Joseph Pohle's 12 volume Catholic classic has moved into the development stage. Father Pohle was part of the founding faculty of the Catholic University in America and a frequent contributor to the old Catholic Encyclopedia. In this 12 volume work, Fr Pohle covers a vast field of theological topics from the Catholic perspective, using scripture and tradition.

In my opinion this work complements very nicely the triplet of classical Catholic dogmatics works been offered by Logos. The other three been Denzinger's The Sources of Catholic Theology, Ott's Fundamentals of Catholic Theology and Hunter's Outlines of Dogmatic Theology. It would be nice if Logos were to offer these 3 works individually. Sadly the only way available is as part of the Catholic Theology and Dogma Collection which caries a hefty price ($199) and includes Routledge's suspiciously translated The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent and The Catechism of the Council of Trent

If you would like to browse some of the content in this future offering, they are available in PDF at Google Books.
