•••••

This volume contains Abbé Gaume's comprehensive review of creation and human history preceding the incarnation, presented from the supernatural perspective that "Jesus Christ is the immortal King of ages, the Alpha and the Omega, the center to which all rays converge." In our age of religious indifference, it is refreshing to find here the classical doctrine that there is only one true religion that has always existed: "The religion that we profess has always existed, because, from the beginning of the world, the expectation of Jesus Christ has been its soul... Faith in Jesus Christ has been the faith of all ages." The many anecdotal glimpses of the early nineteenth-century "religion and science" debates, and perhaps even more so Abbé Gaume's claims that natural science, once "the arsenal in which impiety sought weapons against the faith," now "renders homage to religion," strike a similar chord. The Catechism of Perseverance was one of the first catechisms to confront what has now become a true cult of "scientism," and its discussion of the Catholic concept of creation is particularly intriguing in this regard.

The whole, like all of Abbé Gaume's works, is marked by beautiful wording and deep conviction, as he strives to "lift a little the veil which conceals so many wonders."
