Earlier this year, I read Kenneth Baker's translation of books 1-3 of Bellarmine's Controversies published by Keep the Faith (2016). I blogged on some interesting excerpts therein at:
Peter L P Simpson has produced his own translation of book 1 of the Controversies, "On the Word of God, Written and Unwritten." As Bellarmine often critiques Sola Scriptura, Latter-day Saints will find some interesting points here and there. Further, Bellarmine interacts with many of the arguments against the canonicity and historical reliability of the books of the Apocrypha, so if one wants to understand an informed defense of these volumes, one will find such here, too, as well as a discussion and defense of the Catholic/Tridentine understanding of "sacred [oral] tradition."
