"Theology & Sanity," autographed by Frank Sheed  Newman Call Tag: DOGM THEOL SHE | Description: One of Frank J. Sheed's most popular books, Theology and Sanity shows the practical aspects of theology in the life of a Christian believer. Logic, clarity, and simplicity permeate this eminently readable book. This Volume: The title page appears to have been autographed by Frank Sheed. Mr. Sheed reportedly visited the Newman Catholic Center in the early 1960's. Since the inside front cover of this volume has the inscription, ex libris D. A. Guertin, it was apparently donated to the Newman Library from a private collection, and, thus, we can not be certain if the book was signed at the time of Mr Sheed's visit or if the book came to us already autographed. Since the book is covered with Newman Center Library stamps, we prefer to believe that it was signed after we added the volume to our collection. - First published 1947 by Sheed & Ward LTD., London
- Fourth Impression 1948
- Hardcover
- 345 pages
Francis Joseph Sheed (1897-1981) was an Australian of Irish descent. A law student, he graduated from Sydney University in Arts and Law, then moved in 1926, with his wife Maisie Ward, to London. There they founded the well-known Catholic publishing house of Sheed & Ward in 1926, which published some of the finest Catholic literature of the first half of the twentieth century. |
