Theological Foundations new file

20 Theological Foundations final edition from 1959, the instructions are divided into four principal parts: Instructiones generales, De exercitiis pietatis, De vita religiosa, De officiis . The Polish Letters were written between 1901 and 1927. They depict his life, activity, personality and reflect the ideas which animated him.
