The old Scholastic manuals of the first half or so of the twentieth century are often hard to find, though fortunately many are now being made available again by Editiones Scholasticae, Wipf and Stock, and TAN Books, as well as by public domain reprint publishers like Kessinger, HardPress, and Literary Licensing. Still, many remain out of print, and many have never been translated into English. For some reason, the large older manuals of Catholic dogmatic theology seem harder to find than the philosophy and moral theology material.
Fr. Kenneth Baker has undertaken the project of translating Joseph Dalmau’s mammoth Sacrae Theologiae Summa (or Summa of Sacred Theology), originally published in 1955, into English. It is being published by Keep the Faith, which puts out The Latin Mass magazine. The first volume was recently published and advertised in the magazine. Appearing out of sequence, it is Sacrae Theologiae Summa IIA: On the One and Triune God. At the moment I do not see it advertised on their website, but I imagine that if you contact them by email you can find out how to order a copy. (I ordered one after seeing the magazine ad -- the price was $35 -- and it arrived yesterday.)
The manual was originally published in four volumes, but given its great length Fr. Baker plans to publish the translation in eight volumes. (The volume that just came out alone clocks in at 525 pages.) The topics covered in the completed series of volumes will be as follows:
IA Introduction to Theology. On the True Religion.
IB On the Church of Christ. On Holy Scripture.
IIA On the One and Triune God
IIB On God the Creator and Sanctifier. On Sins.
IIIA On the Incarnate Word. Mariology.
IIIB On Grace. On the Infused Virtues.
IVA On Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance and Anointing.
IVB On Holy Orders and Matrimony. On the Last Things.
In his Foreword, Fr. Baker notes that Karl Rahner -- someone who is, needless to say, not usually associated with Scholastic theology -- once expressed the opinion that the Sacrae Theologiae Summa was the best summary of Scholastic theology available, and that mastering it was essential to becoming a theologian.
Some other new and forthcoming books of Scholastic interest: New Scholasticism Meets Analytic Philosophy, edited by Rafael Hüntelmann and Johannes Hattler, collects papers from the recent conference on the theme in Cologne. The contributors are Rani Lill Anjum, Edward Feser, Uwe Meixner, Stephen Mumford, David Oderberg, Edmund Runggaldier, and Erwin Tegtmeier.
