Origin of the Name of Jesus
In this article, we shall consider the two words -- "Jesus" and "Christ" -- which compose the Sacred Name.

The Holy Name of Jesus
We give honour to the Name of Jesus, because it reminds us of all the blessings we receive through our Holy Redeemer.

Early Historical Documents Concerning Jesus Christ
In this article, we discuss the ancient historical documents -- pagan, Jewish, and Christian -- referring to Christ's life and work.

Chronology of the Life of Christ
In this article, we shall endeavour to establish the absolute and relative chronology of our Lord's life.

The Character of Jesus Christ
Here we consider the character of Jesus as manifested first in His relation to men, then in His relation to God.

The Mystery of the Incarnation
The Incarnation is the mystery and dogma of the Word made Flesh.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Resurrection is the rising again from the dead, the resumption of life. In this article, we shall treat of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, including its characteristics and importance.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is but a special form of devotion to Jesus.

Christology
Christology is that part of theology which deals with Our Lord Jesus Christ. In its full extent it comprises the doctrines concerning both the person of Christ and His works; but in the present article we shall limit ourselves to a consideration of the person of Christ.

The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed in fifteen hardcopy volumes.

Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.

No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.
