Scheeben is the chief theologian of the supernatural economy of the world. The Intellectual blight known as rationalism had spread widely in the nineteenth century, and had made disastrous inroads even in Christian Circles. Although preliminary battles waged by Catholics were turning back the unholy invasion. Scheeben was the champion who finally and decisively drove the enemy out of theology. From the very outset of his theological career, Scheeben had cherished the ambition of making the drab naturalistic world glow again in the light and beauty of grace, of bringing back to the awareness of men the glorious truth that they are God's children.
