Henri de Lubac - 1953

Considered by many the bright jewel among the many enriching books of Cardinal Henri de Lubac, this work is a hymn to the beauty of the Church, under some of whose leaders for a time he unjustly suffered. The Splendor of the Church is, in a sense, a personal testimony of the great theologian's humility and love of the Church of Christ.

It is also a classic work in the theology of the Church. Indeed, de Lubac's profound insights significantly contributed to Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, especially in its treatment on the Church as mystery and as the Sacrament of Christ.

A History of Christianity

Kenneth Scott Latourette - 1953

A history of the growth and development of Christianity, from the ministry of Christ to the mid-20th century, from a conservative Protestant perspective.

The geographical scope of the work is global, and it gives attention to the history of Christian theology as well as other aspects. Latourette was Titus Street Prof. of Ecclesiastical History at Yale.
