Description:
What does being a Catholic mean? Is there a distinctively ì Catholic way of seeing things? What does the Catholic Church ì teach about the human condition -- about our lives, our loves, ì and our destiny? In The Truth of Catholicism, best-selling author ì George Weigel explores these perennial questions through the ì prism of ten contemporary controversies.

The Catholic Church may be the most controversial institution ì in the world. Some find its teachings inexplicable, puzzling, ì even cruel. George Weigel suggests that we look at Catholicism ì and its controversies from "inside" the convictions that make ì those controversies not only possible, but necessary The truths ì of Catholicism then come into clearer focus as affirmations and ì celebrations of human life and human love, even as they challenge ì us to imagine a daring future for humanity and for ourselves.

Is Jesus uniquely the savior of the world? Does belief in God ì limit our freedom? What are we doing when we pray? Is the moral ì life about rules or about happiness? Doesn't suffering contradict ì the biblical claim that God is good? How does the Catholic Church ì think about other Christians and about other great world ì religions? Are Catholics safe for democracy? What will become of ì us? In an engaging, accessible style, George Weigel leads us ì through these and other questions into the truth of Catholicism: ì the truth about a God passionately in love with his creation, the ì truth about a love that creates a vast, liberating terrain on ì which to live a fully human life.

This is a used book in Very good condition.
