Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn 1968 Joseph Ratzinger published his great
Introduction to Christianity. While rarely equaled, 50 years later it does have a worthy popular successor.
The Light of Christ combines scholarly depth with an engaging style to present the what and why of Catholic belief with exceptional clarity and grace. In walking the reader persuasively through the faith that generations of Christians have sought to witness, Fr. White has done a service not just for the believing community but for any intelligent adult seeking a path to God.""- Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia;
""Thomas Joseph White is one of the brightest and most articulate theologians writing today. This book is an intelligent and spiritually alert introduction to the principal themes of Catholic theology. Both beginners and serious academics will find much to savor in its pages.""- Bishop Robert Barron, author of
The Priority of Christ: Toward a Postliberal Catholicism;
""One of America's leading young theologians offers a challenging, bracing, and comprehensive introduction to the mind of the Catholic Church—and doesn't neglect the Catholic heart in the process. The perfect evangelical gift for the skeptical or inquisitive young intellectual who wants to know what Catholics really think and believe, and why.""- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center
