LOAN STACK COPYRIGHT, 1927, BY Benziger BROTHERL PREFACE D65 For a long time those in charge of Jesuit Colleges have felt that new textbooks in Apologetics were needed. These books were to have a distinctly collegiate tone, thus differentiating them from the books used in High School courses. At the request of the American Jesuit Provincials, the writer appointed the Rev. Francis X. Doyle, S.J., of Georgetown University, to prepare these books, and this volume is the first result of his labors. Three other volumes will follow as soon as possible. That Father Doyle has done his work well is evident to anyone who will study this volume carefully. There is a new method of presentation which consists in making Christ, the Teacher, known personally to the student; and then the doctrines which Christ teaches are systematically explained. Thus the volume is meeting a need in giving the student a Life of Christ together with His doctrines. I can sincerely recommend this series of textbooks to all those who are looking for a clear, simple and thorough exposition of doctrine, and who wish to have their students inspired by the continual study of Our Lord Himself.
