Robert Barron is one of the Catholic Church's premier theologians and author of the influential The Priority of Christ. In this volume, Barron sets forth a thoroughgoing vision for an evangelical catholic theology that is steeped in the tradition and engaged with the contemporary world. Striking a balance between academic rigor and accessibility, the book covers issues of perennial interest in the twenty-first-century church: who God is, how to rightly worship him, and how his followers engage contemporary culture. Topics include the doctrine of God, Catholic theology, philosophy, liturgy, and evangelizing the culture. This work will be of special interest to readers concerned about the so-called “new atheism.”

Quotes

  • Mikie Joneshas quoted7 years ago
    And therefore real understanding takes place rarely in a flash of intuition but rather gradually, in the play of analysis and conversation, stretching across both space and time. But this means that the individual thinker, isolated in the confines of his subjectivity—in a word, the ideal Cartesian philosopher—is by no means the optimal knower.
  • Mikie Joneshas quoted7 years ago
    Whereas Hume held that the mind is a kind of empty theater in which impressions and sense data appear for neutral viewing, Newman opined that human intelligence is a lively, active, inquisitive power, constantly sifting and weighing evidence, making judgments, asking and answering questions.
  • Mikie Joneshas quoted7 years ago
    Pascal’s raisons du coeur (reasons of the heart) meet Newman’s cor ad cor loquitur (heart speaks unto heart), and both clearly inform Avery Dulles’s postcritical epistemology.
