Chief Truths of the Faith: A Course in Religion - Book I by Fr John Laux

Every Catholic needs a mature and thorough knowledge of what the Catholic Faith - the true Christian Tradition - is all about. In this compact, overflowing with fascinating information, Fr Laux gives the student and the adult reader an excellent knowledge of those traditional teachings of the Church which form the very backbone of the Faith: for example he covers the sources of Faith (Scripture and Tradition), the Blessed Trinity, Creation, the Angels, Original Sin, Christ our Redeemer, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sanctifying Grace and Actual Grace, the role of good works, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, the Resurrection of the Body, the Last Judgement, plus much more. Replete with facts and with penetrating explanations of all essential truths of the Faith. Written as a high school textbook, it is excellent even for college work and is geared also for adult reading as are all Fr. Laux's books. Fr. Laux is always brief, clear, thorough, undated and interesting! He taught this subject in high school for years, and this excellent book is the fruit of his work. First published in 1928. Illustrated with black and white plates.
