A handbook of Canon Law

This book is an extremely valuable introduction and accompaniment to the study of Latin/Roman Catholic Canon Law. The author possesses a remarkable ability to extract the essential meaning from the canons and to explain it in a language which is clear and engaging. This book is a very good resource for seminary and permanent deacon classes. This book is a new copy of the latest edition of the book. About the Author: Joseph T.

I recommend it highly to all students of canon law.”
