    Pastoral ministry at its best
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013*

First off, this is not a critique. Second, I decided to choose one topic: faith and reason, or more specifically, a reasoned faith mutually tempered with scientific knowledge. This is an area that Pope Francis may have had a greater part in composing, with his "tag team" partner, Pope Emeritus Benedict, focusing more on theology.Interestingly, Paragraph 3 begins as follows: "In the process, [a distortion of] faith came to be associated with darkness." I encounter this often, particularly with secular intellectuals who dismiss faith as a blind, unreasoned leap in the dark. Continued: "Slowly but surely, however, it would become evident that the light of autonomous reason is not enough to illumine the future ... Yet in the absence of light, everything becomes confused; it is impossible to tell good from evil or the road to our destination from other roads which take us in endless circles, going nowhere."Skipping to Paragraphs 32-34: "Blessed John Paul II, in his encyclical Fides et Ratio [1998], showed how faith and reason each strengthened the other ... In the life of Saint Augustine, we find a significant example of this process whereby reason, with its desire for truth and clarity, was integrated into the horizon of faith and thus gained new understanding ... Nor is the light of faith, joined to the truth of love, extraneous to the material world ... It also illuminates the material world, trusts in its inherent order, and knows that it calls us to an ever widening path of harmony and understanding. The gaze of science thus benefits from faith: faith encourages the scientist to remain constantly open to reality in all its inexhaustible richness. Faith awakens the critical sense by preventing research from being satisfied with its own formulae and helps it to realize that nature is always greater. By stimulating wonder before the profound mystery of creation, faith broadens the horizons of reason to shed greater light on the world which discloses itself to scientific investigation."From this, one might conclude that faith enlightens reason and reason helps faith stay grounded in reality. You can't have one without the other, and truly succeed in life. I will end by quoting Dr. Bojan Tunguz from his review: "It's this combination of humility and authority that has already garnered him [Pope Francis] so much respect and affection, within and without the Church, and is an indicator of the way that he'll continue to lead the Catholic faithful in the upcoming years. The Faith once entrusted to the Apostles is in good hands." Amen.

    Priceless Guide
  

*by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2014*

Yes, and I recommend Lumen Fidei even to those doubters, not yet confirmed in Faith, as a guide and mentor.  Pope Francis writes this for all Christians, not just one specific Christian demonination, as well as for non-Christians still finding their way through the discovery process. Even doubters will find true fruit in the document if they let it speak to them right where they now are. Yes, this book has a great spiritual value; it's ageless and priceless, as is the gift of Faith towards which it points. Faith produces action, and studying those actions as Francis does reveales the devine nature of Faith and how it is freely gifted to all who seek it.Jay Porcaro, Milford, OH

    a guide to Faith generally, not just the Catholic kind
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015*

This is an excellent book on the nature of faith - any kind of faith.  I buy multiple copies of it at a time and I give it out to people who are non religious as well as devout Catholics.  The genius of this book is that it manages to capture the essence of faith in anything - secular or religious - in a way that is at once contemporary and timeless.  For those of us that struggle with faith or belief in anything, it feels like a manual to discovery.
