Dr. Albert von Ruville
Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson, Editor
Edited with an Introduction by Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson. (Imprimatur 1914). The distinguished author had an illustrious military career and then a teaching career and at the time of his conversion to Catholicism was Professor of History at the most prestegious Protestant University in Germany, Halle University. This great and unique book represents the apologia of a man much loved by his Protestant brethren, who, after much difficulty, deliberately broke with his past and submitted to the One Church of Christ. This book sold over 20,000 copies in its first 4 months of publication—phenomenal at that time and by 1914 was in its 28th printing! To von Ruville the Real Presence in the Sacrament of the Altar was the most essential characteristic of the Church—everything else follows inevitably. Apologetics par excellence!
