Description
Frank Sheed has revised and updated his masterpiece. Theology and Sanity in its new form retains all the fire and clarity of the original, is still profoundly committed to - and itself a fine example of - the rationality of Christian faith; but now takes full account of the many changes which have taken place in the Church in the thirty-five years since the first edition was published.
