A year or two ago, I remember looking into this topic briefly for a friend and not coming up with much, which led me to wonder why the list of available Catholic titles seems short, especially compared to the Protestant production of systematic theologies -- both single volumes and whole sets -- which nearly strikes one as a growth industry. I do suspect, however, that there are many treatments out there about which I know nothing. So I am interested in what some of our readers may have to suggest.
So far we have:
- St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae
- Ludwig Ott's Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma
- Michael Schmaus, Dogma (6 vols)
- Cardinal Ratzinger and Johann Auer, Dogmatic Theology (8 vols?)
- Matthias J. Scheeben, The Mysteries of Christianity (Die Mysterien des Christentums, 1865)
- Emile Mersch, The Whole Christ: The Historical Development of the Doctrine of the Mystical Body in Scripture and Tradition (1938)
- Aidan Nichols, The Shape of Catholic Theology: An Introduction to Its Sources, Principles, and History
