This if you want to understand the faith and not just read the Bible. It's bigger and amazingly well-written and thought out. A very impressive volume.

It's basically a priest's handbook.

Catholic here; I would like recommendations on the best theology books and apologetics.

Thank you.

I became Catholic because I was thoroughly impressed with their scholarly work.

There is literally no other religion that has this amount of critical work across the centuries.

Everything they do and say is backed up by centuries of intellectualism.

Other religions don't have that, not to that level, not until today.

Islam has great theologians from centuries ago but nothing but Creationism today.

Buddhists have the Dalai Lama but nothing comparable to what the Catholic Church.

Forget the rest, they're not even trying.
