The Spirit of Catholicism is a book written by Karl Adam, a German Catholic theologian, and published in 1924.

He examines the Catholic Church's teachings on God, Christ, the sacraments, the Church, and the afterlife, and shows how they are all interconnected. He also explores the role of the Church in society, its relationship with other religions, and its place in history. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction to Catholicism, its history, and its place in the world. The second part is a discussion of the Catholic Church's teachings and beliefs, and the third part is an exploration of the Catholic way of life.
