The Meaning of Grace

Few concepts are more important in Catholic theology than that of grace, but most adult Catholics never move beyond a schoolchild’'s understanding of grace. Charles Journet explores philosophy, revelation and history to explain grace fully. Journet lays out both the doctrinal development of grace and corrects persistent mistakes that Catholics make about grace. He covers habitual grace, actual grace, predestination, justification, merit, and much more. He even includes a revealing exploration of Adam’s earthly paradise and how the nature of the Fall called forth God'’s response of grace. In a series of lectures first given in 1956 and translated by A V Littledale into English in 1960, Charles Journet (1891-1975) weaves themes from philosophy, revelation and history to explain the concept of grace.
