Signed by the author, steeped in history—where theology meets democracy in a well-worn binding.

A relic of thought from a vanished library—this signed 1926 edition of Democracy and Bellarmine carries the weight of theological inquiry and political reflection. Penned by John C. Rager and once shelved in a Jesuit Learning Center, its worn boards and sunlit spine speak of decades of quiet study. The author’s own hand graces the flyleaf, anchoring the book in personal conviction. Though time has left its marks—rubber stamps, spine slant, and softened corners—the soul of the text remains intact, ready to stir minds anew.

A meaningful acquisition for scholars of Catholic political theory, collectors of signed theological works, and those drawn to the intersection of faith and governance.
