Published by the same firm that produces the Encyclopédie des sciences religieuses (A120), this work is intended to cover a general range of subjects from a Catholic point of view but more briefly than in their monumental series. Seven volumes are projected. Most of the articles have bibliographies appended or contained in the texts; all are signed and some run to lengths of several pages.

The Catholic Library World declared that:
"The articles are written authoritatively and scientifically including the most up-to-date information on each topic. There is a large number of contributors qualified in various subject fields, most of them belonging to the faculties of seminaries, religious scholasticates and Catholic institutions of higher education. Emphasis is on French subjects. (Catholic Library World, XXIX [March, 1948], pp. 203-4).
