"I do better with Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott. It gets down to the nitty gritty, and backs everything up with Scripture, Magisterial teaching, Sacred Tradition and quotes from the Church Fathers."

Sounds like a good one to look for...is it a TAN book by any chance? I've got the Fundamentals of Faith by Fr.Fox(a Digest of the CCC) to help out too. We do the CCC in small bites and are doing the Sacraments first.

Yes, TAN sells Ott. I have overused my copy and may have to buy another.

I also own the Challoner Douay Rheims with extensive notes; the Navarre Bible collection; have Aquinas' Summa, NT Catena Aurea etc on CD; 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia (bought at used book sale for $15.00), Dom Gueranger's Liturgical Year, Catechism of Perseverance by Abbe Gaume etc etc etc.

I am the same age as Israel and I learned LONG ago that I am on my own in this culture and in this AmChurch.

BTW, here is alink to a site with soem interesting exegesis by converts Scott Hahn and revert Cavins; Catholic Scripture study

I'd bet they carry it. You can read the reviews on Amazon and purchase it there or through Catholic Answers
