F. J. Sheed Books

Exploring the Gospels, Sheed aims to reveal the true nature of Christ through his interactions with various figures, from his parents to fleeting characters like the man born blind. The narrative delves into the lives of key individuals, including John the Baptist and Mary of Bethany, while examining the reasons behind the Pharisees' rejection of Jesus. By intertwining theological insights with personal encounters, Sheed encourages readers to deepen their understanding of faith, doctrine, and the essence of Christian belief through the life of Christ.

Theology for Beginners is one of the most outstanding presentations of the central doctrines of the Christian faith ever penned. After showing how God is Spirit, the author examines God's infinity and man's creation from nothing, and then moves on to the Trinity, the Fall, the Incarnation and Redemption, the Mystical Body, Grace and the Sacraments, and the Last Things. For those to whom these doctrines once seemed formidable, Sheed's is a fresh voice of lucid and carefully reasoned prose. To read Theology for Beginners is to have one's mind awakened to the spiritual realities at the center of human existence. F. J. Sheed was one of the best-known Catholic apologists of the 20th century. He and his wife, Masie, founded the Catholic publishing house of Sheed & Ward. They were also outstanding public lecturers as part of the Catholic Evidence Guild.

The book explores the concept of sanity as a mental alignment with reality, emphasizing the role of theology in understanding essential truths. It is divided into three sections: the first discusses God as revealed to humanity, the second examines the universe and the condition of humanity, and the third reflects on the ideal life for humans. Through this framework, the author aims to provide readers with a theological foundation for navigating and comprehending the real world.
