First published in 1928,&nbsp;it provides solid doctrinal coverage concerning the most important aspects of Tradition.</p> <p>Msgr. Agius reaffirms the Church&rsquo;s teaching that Tradition precedes Scripture and that the early Church was inexorably in favor of preserving and fostering both. Masterfully written and readable, countless readers will grow deeper in their appreciation of the Tradition that was handed down by Christ through the apostles and entrusted exclusively to the teaching office of the Church.&nbsp;</p> <p>The author&nbsp;was a Maltese priest who, in 1897, enrolled at the Gregorian University in Rome, where he became lifelong friends with his classmate Fr. Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pius XII. He was later invited to the newly created Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, where in 1902, he assumed duties as secretary and chancellor of the first bishop.&nbsp;<strong><em>Tradition and the Church</em></strong>&nbsp;is a book every Catholic should read in order to understand and appreciate how the Church has transmitted the Faith since apostolic times.</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$9.95","value":9.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","rrp_without_tax":{"formatted":"$24.95","value":24.95,"currency":"USD"},"saved":{"formatted":"$15.00","value":15,"currency":"USD"},"price_range":{"min":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$9.95","value":9.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"},"max":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$24.95","value":24.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"}}},"height":"8.25","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"Tradition and the Church: The Story of Sacred Tradition Unfolding Through The Ages","cart_url":"https://saint-benedict-press-sandbox-1.mybigcommerce.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9780895558213","options":[{"id":5775,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":11090,"label":"Paperbound","selected":false,"data":"Paperbound"},{"id":11091,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":18883,"sku":"TE8309","name":"Tradition and the Church (eBook)","url":"https://saint-benedict-press-sandbox-1.mybigcommerce.com/digital/ebooks-audiobooks/tradition-and-the-church-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books/General/eBooks & Audiobooks"],"summary":"Tradition and the Church&nbsp;by Msgr.

The book is disorganized, scattered and lacks precision at times. The author uses italics and other punctuation in ways that are confusing. It seemed clear that he was not a native speaker of the English language. That all said, i would say the book rewards perseverance. If you can stick with it and read the entire book, you&amp;#x27;ll have an arsenal of quotes from the Fathers and Sacred Scripture to use against not only Protestants outside the Church but Modernists within her. \n\nHere are a few:\n\n&amp;quot;Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold to the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.&amp;quot; - 2 Thessalonians 2:14\n\n&amp;quot;Nothing must be introduced but what has been delivered.&amp;quot; - Pope Stephen I\n\n&amp;quot;Let nothing be allowed to novelty because nothing should be added to antiquity.&amp;quot; - Pope Celestine I\n\n&amp;quot;Antiquity is retained, novelty is repudiated.&amp;quot; - Saint Augustine\n\n&amp;quot;If any one says that in the dogma once proposed by the Church it is possible through the progress of science to give a different sense from the one which the Church understood and understands, let him be anathema.&amp;quot; - Vatican Council I","date":"Feb 25th 2023"},{"name":"ALEX B.","rating":"5","title":"great book!","text":"The ultimate apologetic for the Catholic faith.

Tradition and the Church by Msgr. George Agius (1873–1962) is one of the finest books ever written on the subject of Tradition and its role in the Deposit of Faith—the body of revealed truth found in both Tradition and Scripture. First published in 1928, it provides solid doctrinal coverage concerning the most important aspects of Tradition.

Msgr. Agius reaffirms the Church’s teaching that Tradition precedes Scripture and that the early Church was inexorably in favor of preserving and fostering both. Masterfully written and readable, countless readers will grow deeper in their appreciation of the Tradition that was handed down by Christ through the apostles and entrusted exclusively to the teaching office of the Church. 

The author was a Maltese priest who, in 1897, enrolled at the Gregorian University in Rome, where he became lifelong friends with his classmate Fr. Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pius XII. He was later invited to the newly created Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, where in 1902, he assumed duties as secretary and chancellor of the first bishop. Tradition and the Church is a book every Catholic should read in order to understand and appreciate how the Church has transmitted the Faith since apostolic times.
