Description
A fresh and fascinating look at the eternal truths of Catholicism.
In The Belief of Catholics, Msgr. Knox reconstructs the whole edifice of Catholic teaching step by step, from the ground up. He first clears the air by analyzing the modern distaste for religion. Then, with his celebrated insight and flair for the memorable phrase, he throws really fresh light on the great fundamental questions on which religious faith stands or falls: Is there a God? Does He care about us? Has He ever revealed Himself? Can we prove that He established a Church? What does that Church teach? What is its spirit? Does it make any claim on our allegiance?
Msgr. Knox was uniquely qualified to write this book, for he understood the difficulties of both Catholics and of non-Catholics, having been an Anglican chaplain at Oxford before he entered the Catholic Church. His keen, questioning mind was never content with any argument that was not airtight, so that even the skeptical inquirer will find this a remarkably reasoned statement of Catholicism. And everyone, Catholic and non-Catholic, will find it clear, stimulating, brilliantly written - a pleasure to read.
For the mind that hungers for truth - and what mind doesn't? - here is a feast.
