In a wonderful Protestant Evangelical Seminary this proof-texting work on Catholic dogmatics got me through two years of a Master's degree. Although it is ahistorical and not a thrilling read it really is a comprehensive, almost exhaustive treasury to support Catholic dogma. In this endeavor, it is really a eye-opener when in a completely contrary theological environment because the author helpfully arranges counter-arguments extremely well. It saves a great deal of time by being such a handy reference work.
