Grace, Actual and Habitual: A Dogmatic Treatise

by Joseph Pohle

About 8 h 43 min of reading39 chapters

Grace, Actual and Habitual is one of the volumes in which Joseph Pohle's German textbook of Catholic dogmatic theology was adapted into English by Arthur Preuss, this one first published in 1914. Part I treats actual grace: its nature and divisions, its necessity for every act that leads to salvation, its gratuity and universality, the predestination of the elect and the reprobation of the damned, and the long dispute over how grace is reconciled with free will, with the Thomist and Molinist systems set side by side. Part II turns to sanctifying grace, justification, the state of the justified soul and merit. The exposition is orderly and scholastic, with the Council of Trent as its constant reference point. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
