4.9/5 (32850 ratings)

Description:“This book presents, in popular language, the fundamental convictions of some four hundred million people who belong to the Roman Catholic Church. To the non-Catholic it offers a clear, readable summation of Catholicism today, and to the Catholic a ringing reaffirmation of the Faith by which he lives... a Faith which has remained unshaken through twenty stormy centuries. “The Catholic Faith, to be rightly understood, must not be viewed merely in its externals,” the authors remind us. “It is something more than an institution responsible for countless hospitals, social agencies, and houses of charity; it is not merely the age-old Church which has for centuries fostered education, scholarship, and culture. It is indeed more than a Church distinguished by its ceremonial, its Mass, its Sacraments, its beliefs, its hierarchy. To see all this is only to see Catholicism from without....“Catholicism is a way of life. The purpose of this book is to contribute to a deeper appreciation of the Catholic Faith and to elucidate the basic reasoning behind the Faith. We begin with a discussion of the very God above us and proceed, through a series of connected arguments, to the Catholic Church in the world today.”What does the Catholic believe? CATHOLICISM AND REASON shows how the New Testament (with particular reference to the four Gospels) has been proven a reliable history book; how Christ proclaimed His mission from God, and the credentials – the miracles and prophecies – which were His; how He chose Peter as the “Rock” upon which to build His Church, and designated Peter and his successors as its spiritual leaders; and how the Church exemplifies, through unity, holiness, universality, and apostolicity, the teachings of Christ.Concepts frequently misunderstood by non-Catholics – the Infallibility of the Church; and its position regarding the functions of Church and State, are definitively clarified here.Scholarly, concise, and readily understandable, CATHOLICISM AND REASON provides the Catholic reader with an inspiring re-evaluation of the tenets of his Church, and it opens to the non-Catholic the way toward an enlightened understanding of the viewpoint of his Catholic neighbors.” - PublisherWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
