A Certain Faith: The Catholic Alternative - Hardcover

by Barry R. Pearlman (Author)

This masterpiece of modern apologetics builds upon the intrinsic, formative principle within thought-namely, being. Having established the idea of being (indeed, of Absolute Being) as essential to all coherent thought, the author shows that it was a failure to appreciate the analogy of being that led to the disastrous errors of Kant and postmodern philosophy-for the analogia entis links all that exists. After beginning with philosophy, the book's clear aim is to demolish postmodernism, to strengthen and nourish the life of faith, and, finally, to take the reader on an extraordinary journey as far as the consummation of the life of faith in mystical union. This remarkable and timely text offers a profound, succinct, and accessible introduction to cosmology, revelation, Christology, the nature of the Church, and the moral and spiritual life, providing readers a compass to help them navigate the troubled waters of our time.
