Written to give lay Catholics a better understanding of the Eucharist, this book is recognized as a modern spiritual classic. In remarkably clear and straightforward language, it takes the reader step-by-step into the deepest mysteries of the Eucharist — a religiously exhilirating journey into the heart of the Christian faith. Beautifully designed and printed, the Zaccheus Press edition of A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist is the first authorized edition to be published in over 50 years. It features a new introduction by Aidan Nichols. The preface is by Peter Kreeft.

We all want to go to Heaven – but what will Heaven actually be like? Drawing on sacred Scripture and Catholic doctrine, The Life of the World to Come pulls back the veil to give us a closer look at the dazzling joys, the reality of eternal life. With simplicity and good humor, this “marvelous little book” achieves the goal Abbot Vonier set for all his works – opening the eyes of men and women to the splendors of the Catholic faith. Praise for Abbot Vonier and The Life of the World to Come “Abbot Vonier has a serious right to be considered one of the great Catholic theologians of the 20th century. Here is the theology of St. Thomas translated into a contemplative idiom and communicated with a wonderful clarity and simplicity of expression. These new editions of his works, after decades of neglect, are warmly to be welcomed.” – Fr. John Saward, author Cradle of Redeeming Love: The Theology of the Christmas Mystery “Those seeking spiritual wisdom will find it here. Vonier was a master, and his work is as inspiring and fresh as ever.” – Matthew Levering, author Scripture and Metaphysics: Aquinas and the Renewal of Trinitarian Theology “Turning new lights on old truths and making application of revelation to life, Abbot Vonier ‘digs down into the meaning of Catholic dogma.’ His thought is so simple, clear, and practical that no formal theological training is needed to follow him with profit and delight.” – Fr. C.C. Martindale, SJ, quoted in Commonweal “Abbot Vonier was the most gifted dogmatic theologian writing in England during his lifetime. The Vonier revival is a highly encouraging sign of the return of classical doctrine in the Church.” – Aidan Nichols, author The Thought of Pope Benedict XVI: An Introduction to the Theology of Joseph Ratzinger “Gifted in his capacity to write of sublime things in terms that all could understand.” – The American Benedictine Review “Abbot Vonier was a teacher who honored the intelligence of the average Christian man and woman. Very properly he deemed ‘the ordinary man or woman’ perfectly capable of grasping, or at least of appreciating, the highest doctrines of the Christian faith; all that was needed was to put these solemn truths before them stripped of the technical terminology of the lecture-room. Here was the real secret of his great popularity: he gave the Christian people what they wanted – solid, substantial doctrine.” – Dom Ernst Graf, Abbot Vonier’s biographer
