The final section of the volume features indexes, including a detailed systematic index to aid locating texts on specific themes. The original language and the English translation are presented in two columns so readers can refer to the original text, while deepening their understanding through the introductions, notes, and reliable English translation.

Peter Hnermann has updated the texts of this compendium and he has provided each text with an introduction. It was maintained by the Second Vatican Council and by Pope John Paul II and it is promoted in the new Catechism of the Catholic Church and in the post-Vatican II liturgy. Indeed, its reference system has become an established part of citing important theological sources. The doctrine of universal salvation (also known as Apokatastasis or Apocatastasis) has usually been considered through the centuries to be heterodox but has become orthodox. It faithfully reflects the history of the Church's faith and its development over the centuries. Since its first edition in 1854, "Denzinger" has become a standard work and an indispensable tool for serious theological work. With its unique wealth of official church documents and sources, it is an essential resource for theological work. If anyone shall say that the sacraments of the New Law are not necessary for salvation, but are superfluous, and that, although all are not.

This compendium of theological-historical source texts, in a bilingual edition, is completely revised and extended to the pontificate of Benedict XVI. If anyone shall say that these seven sacraments are equal to each other in such a way that one is not for any reason more worthy than the other: let him be anathema.
