doctrine, and especially many new and more exact formulations, were drawn or adapted from the chief Fathers of the West, particularly from St. Augustine. The creed follows the classical divisions in exposing the Catholic teaching on the Trinity, Christology, and eschatology. Chapter IV, which investigates the theological significance of the creed, contains an admirable little essay on the sharp interchange between St. Julian of Toledo and the Holy See. The authors view of the controversy is wholly realistic, and may well be the last word on this vexing subject. Detailed indexes properly crown this work as a permanently valuable contribution to historical and theological scholarship.

as vigorously as did Berengar the sacramental, symbolic aspect of the Eucharist, they made certain to defend the actual presence of the Body and Blood of Christ as well. The highly useful distinction between sacramentum tantum and sacramentum-et-res was employed effectively. The completion of that distinction with the res tantum member was a contribution of later theologians. The book closes with five pages of general conclusions and summary that provide an excellent digest of Father Sheedys work. There is also an extensive bibliography and an index. Students of the history of development of Eucharistie doctrine will be grateful to Father Sheedy for his clear, competent survey of the important eleventh-century period.
