Theological Lectures - On Grace and the Sacraments in General - Volume V - Giovanni Perrone

Theological Lectures: On Grace and the Sacraments in General, Volume V by Giovanni Perrone is a scholastic treatise on divine grace and the general theology of the sacraments. It examines the supernatural gifts by which God sanctifies the soul and enables participation in the divine life.

A central concern of the volume is the nature and operation of grace, including sanctifying grace, actual grace, justification, merit, and the relationship between divine assistance and human freedom. Perrone presents these doctrines within the framework of Catholic scholastic theology and engages historical theological controversies.

The work also treats the sacraments in their universal aspects, explaining their institution by Christ, efficacy, necessity, and role as instruments of grace. Overall, it provides a systematic foundation for understanding both the economy of grace and the sacramental life of the Church.
