By Ludwig Ott.
Rockford, IL: Tan, 1974
This book is a basic outline of the teachings of the Catholic Church which presents essential statements of doctrine and attempts to explain the foundations of that teaching in Sacred Scripture and Tradition. It is excellent for determining how official a particular teaching is (e.g.
de fide or merely the more probable opinion held by most theologians). Since it was published in 1955, it does not include any references to sources from the past seventy years. There is also a
more recent English translation by Robert Fastiggi.
The online version is available on the Internet Archive, a trusted source, but one for which it is necessary to create a free account and login.
