'Catholicism Revisited' is an attempt to render Roman Catholicism
more credible. The book rests on the author's conviction that a
fuller and more correct understanding of Catholicism as a religion
can emerge only from a radical reappraisal of the salvific role of
Jesus' humanity, and of his human faith, hope and love, in line
with the basic and central doctrines of the Incarnation and the
Trinity. Being a Catholic means sharing in an ordinary but truly
mystical way in the spirit of Jesus' human faith, hope and love,
and to the maintenance of this insight and the faith-vision of
reality it entails all else must yield precedence - the
conventional notion of God, the necessary system of Catholic
beliefs which support the faith-vision, and the Church itself. In
the course of the book many fundamental issues are raised and
discussed, not least the metaphorical nature of theology, the
connection between faith and beliefs, the meaning and use of
Catholic doctrines, the actual experience of being human. It is in
the light of these issues that the author sees an urgent need to
re-imagine the God of Catholicism. A born Catholic, Robert
Butterworth was educated by the Jesuits and spent forty years in
the Society of Jesus. He read classics at Oxford and completed his
doctorate in early Christian theology at the Gregorian University
in Rome. During more than twenty years as Head of Department he
taught theology at Heythrop College in the University of London and
at Roehampton University. On retirement from academia and from the
Society he married and now lives near London. He has published
autobiographical reflections on his experiences in 'The Detour'
(Gracewing, 2005).
