Spiritual Theology — Fr. Jordan Aumann O.P.
The mainstays for sound spiritual theology over the last 100 years have always been Tanquerey and Garrigou- Lagrange. And I highly recommend them. But Fr Auman has distilled what they’ve taught down to a more digestible size and translates them into easier to comprehend language for those who are somewhat new to this area of theology.
Any reader will greatly benefit from this accessible gem.

Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma — Ludwig Ott
We have the Catechism of the Council of Trent and John Paul II’s Catechism of the Catholic Church, which have proven to be excellent sources. But rather than a reference book, Ludwig Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma is a brilliant and comprehensive course in theology. Drawing from Scripture, Tradition, and perennial Magisterium, Ott lays out a firm foundation for what the Church has always taught in clear terms.
