Reading Church Latin: Techniques and Commentary for Comprehension

Reading Church Latin is an essential tool for acquiring a basic reading knowledge of ecclesiastical Latin. The Latin texts they read are common texts they will encounter as graduate theology students and as priests or deacons: common prayers, hymn texts, biblical passages, and medieval theological texts. This book can be used either as a class text or a resource for independent study. This resource should enable students to deal competently with the basic meaning of untranslated Latin texts as well as providing them with the confidence to compare a text they have translated to its original.
