Förlagets beskrivning
Peter Stuart, a social and literary critic and co-author of The Catholic Faith and the Social Construction of Religion: With Particular Attention to the Québec Experience, remarks that phenomenology continues to present itself within the Roman Catholic Church. However, scholasticism, has always prided itself on using a dialectical method of enquiry to prove various points of theological discussion. Scholastics and phenomenologists could engage in a dialectical discourse and a new 'thesis' could emerge out of this process. See his full review inside. This book is a contribution to the existing body of philosophical and theological thought in the Western Church. It is a personal account, not a historical or chronological one. The approach taken reflects the change in mind of the author from a classical to a contemporary view of theology. His journey suggests that through personal engagement with the spirit of God one may begin to understand religious experience. Among the purposes of theological study is spiritual growth, intellectual understanding being of secondary importance. The deepening of theological understanding has been achieved, not by ecclesiastical officials, but by faithful individuals and sometimes in opposition to official interpretation. Individuals need to accept their responsibility and co-creative relationships with that which is divine. This book passes not only as an informative guide to interpretation of truth but serves as a must read for any serious student of theology, assisting the reader in examining his or her own life in the search for truth
