A Compendium Of The Doctrines Of Genesis 1 11

In his foreword to Fr. Victor Warkulwizs work, The Doctrines of Genesis 1-11, Bishop Robert A. Vasa wrote: Today the Catholic Church has well-developed theologies of redemption and sanctification but no well-developed theology of creation. That is because so many of her influential thinkers have abandoned the sound creation theology of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and have embraced instead the false principles of evolutionism. Bishop Vasa went on to commend Fr. Warkulwiz for his accurate, thorough, and readable answers . . . to many questions about origins that perplex the modern Catholic. In this Compendium of the Doctrines of Genesis 1-11, Brother Charles Madden, OFM, Conv., makes these accurate, thorough, and readable answers even more accessible to Catholic readers by presenting short, succinct summaries of each of the sixteen doctrines Fr. Victor has drawn from the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. The Compendium is an invaluable resource for Catholic universities, schools, CCD programs, and home libraries.

In his monumental work The Doctrines of Genesis 1-11, Fr. Victor Warkulwiz defended the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation against what Bishop Robert A. Vasa has called the "assaults made on them from the sectors of biblical criticism and scientism." Now Fr. Victor's 500-page book has been condensed into a brief, readable Compendium by Brother Charles Madden, O.F.M., so that Catholic clergy and laity can easily familiarize themselves with the Church's traditional teaching on creation and the early history of mankind.

Today the Catholic Church has well-developed theologies of redemption and sanctification but no well-developed theology of creation. That is because so many of her influential thinkers have abandoned the sound creation theology of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and have embraced instead the false principles of evolutionism. The purpose of this book is to help restore traditional Catholic theology on origins to its rightful place in the belief of Catholics. The traditional teaching of the Church on Creation, the Fall, and the Great Flood and its aftermath is clearly presented in the form of sixteen doctrines abstracted from the text of Genesis 1-11. The doctrines are defended on theological, philosophical and scientific grounds from assaults made on them from the sectors of biblical criticism and scientism. The author attempts to present a story of origins that evokes true and vivid images of the creation of the world and the primal history of the human species. Accurate, thorough and readable answers are given to many questions about origins that perplex the modern Catholic. The exposition is kept as non-technical as possible so that the book will be accessible to everyone. Not everyone will be able to understand everything that is presented, but every reader will find enough to set his thinking straight and to nourish his Catholic faith. Foreword by Most. Rev. Robert Francis Vasa, Bishop of Baker

Addresses the biblical, philosophical, and scientific bases for the doctrine of creation out of nothing, while countering contemporary trends that are assailing this doctrine.

This updated edition by one of the world's leading apologists presents a systematic, positive case for Christianity that reflects the latest work in the contemporary hard sciences and humanities. Brilliant and accessible.

As a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, my sworn duty was to guide, teach, and protect those who served in subordinate positions. In this role, it was critical to provide clear and concise information so that those who trusted my leadership would not be ignorant of the mission or threats. The Apostle Paul gives an explicit command to believers to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The reader should be forewarned this written work takes an unwavering confrontational approach with the sword of doctrine to pierce and cut away the customs, traditions, political correctness, spiritualism, and ignorance that has infiltrated and infected the body of Christ that is yielding illiterate believers that are unable to prove and defend the faith. Lastly, not all doctrine is sound. Sound doctrine is truth that has been established in Genesis and echoes throughout eternity without changing with the seasons of moral relativism, humanism, and ecumenicalism. Genesis: Let There Be Sound Doctrine is a book written to fulfill Paul's command to educate and encourage the Christian believer in the undeniable truths of God's creation, His identity, and plan of salvation. In this pursuit, physical evidence is accompanied by Holy Ghost revelation expressed in a palatable way so the reader can harmonize their beliefs with the sound spoken from heaven.

"In it (this book) the author gives positive and clear testimony for the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ and above all against the vague theory of evolution and for the Biblical account of creation"--P. 1.
