Second Latin: For the Reading of Philosophy Theology and Canon Law

Authors: Cora Carroll Scanlon, A.M. and Charles L.Shannon, A.M.

For over 1500 years at least, all Western liturgy was conducted in Latin, as well as canon law, theology, and philosophy.

Serving as the second volume of a consummate course in Ecclesiastical Latin, Second Latin contains lessons and readings from the great works of Church history in canon law, philosophy, and theology—the vast majority of all Western Church writing. With 232 pages of vocabulary and reading and a 3000-word Latin-English glossary, this is a fantastic continuation of a course in Church Latin that will expand the horizons of any student. With this textbook in hand, you will be able to acquire the skills needed to participate in the perennial heritage of the Church of Rome and all of her daughters in the West. Truly this tongue is a pearl of great price in the treasure-house of the Church; Second Latin will take you deep into the trove.
