In Theology For Beginners the late Frank Sheed conveys all his own excitement about theology, and shows us how to pass that excitement on to others. His book is now established throughout the English-speaking world as one of the outstanding modern introductions to theology for the layman.

Frank Sheed has revised and updated his masterpiece. Theology and Sanity in its new form retains all the fire and clarity of the original, is still profoundly committed to - and itself a fine example of - the rationality of Christian faith; but now takes full account of the many changes which have taken place in the Church in the thirty-five years since the first edition was published.

Frank J. Sheed, one of the most distinguished and popular Catholic writers of the twentieth century, is known as a champion of the faith. The Action of the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, a new edition of his original book, is another example of Sheed’s ability to shed light on the mysteries of our faith. With his keen insight, Sheed notes that “action upon mankind, individually and in community, is the special function of the Holy Spirit.” He then traces the action of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, in the gospels, and in the beginning of the church. Finally, he helps us to see how Christians today can live life in the Spirit by making this third Person of the Trinity the very “air we breathe.” By looking back and looking forward, Sheed renews our appreciation for the Holy Spirit, “the Lord and Giver of life.”

Word Among Us Pr

To Know Christ Jesus

2022 Hardcover Reprint of 1962 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Sheed's concern with the Gospels is to come to know Christ as he actually lived among us and as he interacted with all the various people he encountered from his infancy to his passion and death. Sheed attempted to show Jesus through his effect upon others--seeing how they saw him, trying to see why they saw him so. There is much about Mary and Joseph in their task of bringing up a Jesus; about John the Baptist; about Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalen; about Nicodemus; about people we meet only for a moment, like the man born blind and the owners of the drowned swine; and why the Pharisees, not only the worst of them but some of the best, would not accept Christ. Faith, doctrine, prayer, worship--all the content and consequences of Christian belief--rest on the person of Christ Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. In this classic study, Frank J. Sheed employs wide learning, theological sophistication, spiritual insight, and a lucid style to bring the reader to a personal encounter with the living Lord. Sheed had a distinguished career as a publisher, lecturer, street-corner evangelist, and popular writer. He and his wife Maisie Ward were the founders of the publishing house Sheed & Ward.

Este libro contiene teologia, no la dosis masiva de teologia que necesitan los teologos, pero si el minimo indispensable que necesita todo hombre para vivir cuerdamente en la realidad, es decir, para ser sensato. Pues ser sensato no supone vivir en el mundo como otro hombre cualquiera, significa vivir en la realidad del mundo. Ahora bien, algunos de los elementos mas importantes del mundo real solo pueden ser conocidos por la revelacion de Dios, que es el objeto de estudio de la teologia. Si carecemos de este conocimiento, nuestra mente ha de vivir casi enteramente sumergida en tinieblas, debatiendose con una realidad que en su mayor parte se le escapa.Proposito del autor no es centrar la atencion sobre la voluntad, sino atender fundamentalmente a los problemas del entendimiento. No trata de resolver una cuestion de santidad, sino de sensatez. Diferencia harto frecuentemente olvidada en la practica de la religion. Se ocupa mas del entendimiento que de la voluntad, no porque el entendimiento tenga mas importancia en religion que en voluntad, sino porque tiene verdadera importancia y se tiende a descuidarla. Es cierto que la salvacion depende directamente de la voluntad. Nos salvamos o condenamos segun lo que amamos. Sin embargo, resulta innegable que la importancia del entendimiento es muy grande, puesto que no podemos alcanzar un maximo amor a Dios solo con un minimo conocimiento de Dios.
