Catholic Church, Sermons 

The subjects treated in these sermons are certain basic doctrines of our faith - original sin, our Lord's passion and death, and man's redemption. They are so important that no priest can neglect them in choosing topics for his sermons. These subjects are so familiar that an impressive freshness of presentation is difficult. Precisely in this respect the present volume will be found stimulating and suggestive. The author, Monsignor Toth, is one of Europe's most esteemed preachers today.

The reader of these pages will at once note that they are addressed to men and women of our own day, people who are living amid the questionings and perplexities of an unbelieving world. With a penetrating grasp of contemporary tendencies, Monsignor Toth sets forth the old truths with a vigor suited to present needs. These sermons are not primarily apologetic, not intended for people devoid of faith; rahter they are calculated to strengthen the faith of believers who have to face the agnostic and rationalistic temper of our times.

Priests will value the abundance of appropriate illustrations and historical anecdotes which illumine the text without interrupting the continuity of thought. This volume should be especially useful to priests who are preparing a Lenten course, a parish mission, or a regular series of sermons for a Church solidarity.
