Laying the Foundation: A Handbook of Catholic Apologetics and Fundamental Theology is a classic text by the late Fr. Joseph Clifford Fenton, a highly respected author, professor, and theologian of the twentieth century. "This book appeared in 1942 under the rather unimposing title We Stand with Christ: an Essay in Catholic Apologetic. It should have become a classic. It is, I believe, the greatest work of apologetics produced in a time of superstar apologists such as F. J. Sheed, Ronald Knox, and Fulton Sheen. It represents the high point of apologetics as well as a gold standard for subsequent works of fundamental theology." —from the foreword by Scott Hahn, Franciscan University of Steubenville. About the author Fr. Joseph Clifford Fenton (1906–1969) was professor of fundamental dogmatic theology at the Catholic University of America for twenty-five years and for two decades edited the American Ecclesiastical Review. He was a member of the Pontifical Roman Theological Academy, served as counselor to the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities, and participated in the Second Vatican Council as a member of the preparatory Theological Commission, the Doctrinal Commission, and the Commission on Faith and Morals.

Product Description The Church of Christ is a collection of writings by Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton, a distinguished American theologian of the twentieth century. These eighteen essays offer manifold rich insights into Christ’s living presence in the Church, the controversies surrounding the marks of the Church, the foundational principles of the Church’s relationship to the state, and more. Shedding light on overlooked or unexplored dimensions of ecclesiology, Fenton invites readers both to develop a deeper understanding of the nature and structure of the Church and to increase their love for the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church of Christ, edited and introduced by Christian D. Washburn, also offers extensive references for those who wish to delve further into the wisdom further on these topics or to read more of Fenton’s works. Review “Washburn provides an invaluable service to Catholic theology with this collection of writings by Msgr. Fenton. The eighteen articles in this volume reveal the learning, depth and wisdom of a first-class ecclesiologist and peritus of Vatican II. For those wishing to understand the central questions of ecclesiology discussed before and during the Second Vatican Council, this book is an absolute must.” ~Robert L. Fastiggi, Ph.D., Professor of Systematic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary“…absolutely essential reading for any serious student of ecclesiology. The thoughtful, balanced, orthodox, and acute analysis of Msgr. Fenton serves as a prime example of the kind of renewal that was and remains desirable, one in organic continuity with the great tradition, committed to the unchanging dogmas of the Church but open to new insights and corrections in speculative matters.” ~Christopher Malloy, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Theology, University of Dallas“Monsignor Fenton’s writings on the definition and necessity of the Church of Christ for salvation, along with his teaching on the ordinary papal magisterium and religious liberty are invaluable. This text should be required reading for seminarians and students of theology alike. One may certainly expect that the recovery of Fenton’s works will reintroduce a fresh and sound perspective, renewing theological discourse on the Church. This book surely leaves the reader wanting much more.” ~Michael G. Sirilla, Ph.D., Professor of Systematic and Dogmatic Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

Cluny Media, LLC

The Theology of Prayer, written by one of the twentieth century’s foremost theologians, distills the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, Thomas a Vallgornera, and Joseph a Spiritu Sancto, among other great scholastic theologians, on the nature of Christian prayer, whose writings hold such treasures on praying effectively that their loss would be a tragedy for the people of God. In these pages, Monsignor Fenton clearly and concisely presents to the contemporary reader the scholastics’ works and their insights on Sacred Scripture and Tradition. With The Theology of Prayer, Fenton revitalizes the work of those theologians, preserving their insights and presenting plainly what God has revealed about prayer and how the Church has preserved and expounded that revelation for the good and the salvation of all who believe.

Theology

What Is Sacred Theology? (originally published in 1941 as The Concept of Sacred Theology), is renowned theologian Joseph Clifford Fenton’s doctoral dissertation, written under the direction of his mentor Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. In these pages, Monsignor Fenton explains how the intellectual work of the theologian always proceeds from God’s revealed truth. Because God himself is holy, his teaching is holy. And because his teaching is holy, authentic theology is always sacred. What Is Sacred Theology? remains a valuable resource for all those who wish to understand the consecrated nature and purpose of theological science. The second volume in Cluny Media’s Thomist Tradition book series, edited and introduced by Cajetan Cuddy, O.P., What Is Sacred Theology? offers clarity and wisdom for all those interested in sacred truth and desirous of its saving effects.

What Is Sacred Theology?

The Diocesan Priest in the Church of Christ, originally published in 1951 as The Concept of the Diocesan Priesthood, is a masterful description of the mission and ministry of the diocesan priest. No one, writes Fenton, can “possess an adequate understanding of the diocesan priesthood unless he know something of the essential and divinely ordered status of the diocesan priest in the Church of Christ.” Treating with precision and clarity the scriptural and theological basis of the priestly office, Fenton provides a comprehensive description of its powers, duties, and graces. As powerful today as it was at the mid-way point of the twentieth century, this book is remarkably well-suited to developing an effective response to the “vocations crisis” of the present age.A powerful aid for diocesan seminarians and priests seeking to identify the concrete form of their vocation, The Diocesan Priest in the Church of Christ is also an excellent guide for anyone who desires to understand the gift of the priesthood as incarnated in their own diocesan priests.
