Theology for Beginners is one of the most outstanding presentations of the central doctrines of the Catholic faith ever penned. 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 mind's awakened to the spiritual realities at the center of human existence.
Frank Sheed was one of the best-known Catholic apologists of the twentieth century. He and his wife, Masie, founded the Catholic publishing house of Sheed& Ward, which published Jacques Maritain, Christopher Dawson, and G. K. Chesterton, among many others. They were also outstanding public lecturers as part of the Catholic Evidence Guild.
