Description
This volume provides an English translation of the papal encyclical "Fides et Ratio", considered to be one of the two or three most important and influential papal letters ever to have been written. This book also includes a commentary on the Letter by James McEvoy, and essays about the Letter's main themes by Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox theologians. The latter evaluate the Letter's importance and show how it has shaped the modern study of philosophy and theology. This book provides the Latin text with accompanying English-language (facing page) translation. It should be of interest to: scholars and students of the philosophy of religion and of Roman Catholic doctrine; students of modern theology; Catholic clergy; and some educated lay people interested in dogmatics.
Reviews / Votes
Young's comprehensive research has produced an excellent biography of Edwin Smith and surely has restored the reputation of one who was prepared to learn from the Africans, to the extend of defending polygamy. (...) For anybody interested in African Primitive Methodism or missionary work, this book is a fascinating, complusive read and highly recommended.
