A comprehensive presentation of the fundamental nature of the Catholic faith and the Catholic Church that first appeared in 1924. The Spirit of Catholicism is a truly pioneering work of Catholic theology, one that had a major influence on subsequent theology. In this book, Adam revived the Pauline understanding of the Church as the mystical Body of Christ, showed how one could incorporate new forms of thought in Catholic theology rather than rely exclusively on scholastic language and envisionned the Catholic faith coming to expression within non-Western cultures.
