There he worked out his three-volume textbook on dogmatics for the purpose of accompanying lectures .

Revisions were made by Michael Gierens and Josef Gummersbach . An English translation by A. Preuss was published in St. Louis from 1911 to 1917. From 1910 to 1912, Pohle worked at the Staatslexikon, also at the Catholic Encyclopedia , the Kirchlichen Handlexikon and the journals Der Katholik , Historisch Politische Blätter , Natur and Revelation .

Think

Pohl's doctrine of grace is shaped by Molinism . He was in opposition to modern philosophy. Pohles thesis is controversial that soldiers who die for their fatherland are in the rank of martyrs.
