In his monumental work The Doctrines of Genesis 1-11, Fr. Victor Warkulwiz defended the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation against what Bishop Robert A. Vasa has called the "assaults made on them from the sectors of biblical criticism and scientism." Now Fr. Victor's 500-page book has been condensed into a brief, readable Compendium by Brother Charles Madden, O.F.M., so that Catholic clergy and laity can easily familiarize themselves with the Church's traditional teaching on creation and the early history of mankind.
Fr. Victor Warkulwiz has a Ph.D. in physics from Temple University, an M. Div. from Mt. St. Mary's Seminary, and an M.A. in theology from Holy Apostles Seminary. He has taught courses in literature, mathematics, and physics at Holy Apostles Seminary and courses in philosophy and religion at the Franciscan Friars of Mary Immaculate scholasticate. He is a member of the Missionary Priests of the Blessed Sacrament and National Director of the Apostolate for Perpetual Adoration in the United States.
