The Theological Synthesis of Matthias Joseph Scheeben
A comprehensive introduction to one of the most significant dogmatic theologians of recent centuries. Exploring the vigour, coherence, and beauty of Scheeben's theological vision, Nichols concludes that the great German theologian's work combines "romance and system" - a lyrical appeal to the imagination and a virile challenge to the intellect, the inspiration of metaphor and the conceptual power of an architectonic account of the revelation carried by the Church.
Romance and System examines the major themes of Scheeben's works and underscores their preeminence in Catholic dogmatic theology.
