Summary:

"This wide-ranging and ambitious volume is a comprehensive and balanced appraisal of the Catholic intellectual tradition in the twentieth century. Robert Royal presents a sweeping account of the important contributions to philosophy, theology, Scripture studies, and literature made by prominent modern Catholics whose accomplishments have been recognized both inside and outside the Church.
