Roberto Bellarmino Livres

Robert Bellarmine was one of the most original and influential political theorists of his time. His writings present coherent definitions of the nature and aim of temporal authority and its relationship to spiritual authority. This fresh translation will be interesting to a wide readership of both scholars of political thought and the educated general public. Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621) was a Jesuit cardinal. Stefania Tutino is a Professor of History and Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.

First published in the late 16th century, this catechism by Roberto Bellarmino is a foundational text in the history of Catholic theology. Bellarmino's clear and concise explanations of key theological concepts, combined with his engaging prose style, make this an indispensable book for scholars and laypeople alike.

This catechism can be considered as a valid and effective catechetical tool for the work of the evangelization, a work which has to be realized with a new missionary zeal towards those who don't know the Catholic faith and as well towards those who know it defectively and insufficiently. May those who will read this catechism and those who will use it in the noble and meritorious work of teaching Christian doctrine, may be equipped with the sure and sacred doctrine of the Catholic faith, in order to stand, having their loins girt about with truth. -Bishop Athanasius Schneider This is the first English translation of St. Robert Bellarmine's Long Catechism, which follows a traditional question and answer model but gives deep meditations on the truths of faith. It was written for students with some education as well as for those who would teach Catechism. It was explicitly approved by Pope Clement VIII and praised by Pope Benedict XIV and Pius XI. St. Robert Bellarmine is a doctor of the Church.

St. Robert Bellarmine's work in defense of the saints, their place in heaven, their canonization and veneration, etc., ranks like all of his works among the classical works of Catholic Theology. In this work, Bellarmine meets the attack of Protestantism against Catholic teaching on the saints, firstly on their own ground with sound Scriptural Exegesis, backed up by the witness of the Greek and Latin Church. The great counter-reformation doctor begins the work with a treatise on whether the souls of the saints receive a particular judgment and go to heaven or await for the end of time suspended as it were in some hidden place; then what canonization is, who performs it and what is its authority; then lastly, whether the saints may be venerated and invoked, defended according to Scripture and the Fathers of the Church.
