The Catholic Passion - David Scott - Bog

The Catholic Passionaf David Scott
Bag om The Catholic Passion

The CATHOLIC FAITH is not a set of rules or a body of doctrines, but is a way of life, writes David Scott. It's a lived faith that contains convincing, intellectually coherent, and spiritually fulfilling answers to the biggest questions: Who is God? Who is Jesus? Why are we here? Where are we going? The Catholic Passion invites readers into a conversation about the things that matter most. It is not an argument for the Catholic faith but a journey to the heart of it-a richly rewarding reflectin on prayer, the Bible, scraments, the church, and God-made-human in Jesus Christ.Scott does not tell the story of the faith through church documents or catechism quotations. Instead, he looks at the faith experience of real Catholics-people like the American writer Andre Dubus, the French composer Olivier Messiaen, the Chinese human rights activist Henry Wu, the French martyr Charles de Foucauld, and the American reformer Dorothy Day. These and other Catholics embody a faith that warms the heart as it enlightens the mind.One theme emerges from Scott's reflections on the lives of Catholics and the Scriptures: God's passion of love for humankind burns on in the Catholic Church. The Catholic passion is the conviction that there is nothing God will not do to win our love.
