The Light of Christ provides an accessible presentation of
Catholicism that is grounded in traditional theology, but engaged
with a host of contemporary questions or objections. Inspired by
the theologies of Irenaeus, Thomas Aquinas and John Henry Newman,
and rooted in a post-Vatican II context, Fr. Thomas Joseph White
presents major doctrines of the Christian religion in a way that is
comprehensible for non-specialists: knowledge of God, the mystery
of the Trinity, the Incarnation and the atonement, the sacraments
and the moral life, eschatology and prayer. At the same time, The
Light of Christ also addresses topics such as evolution, the modern
historical study of Jesus and the Bible, and objections to Catholic
moral teaching. Touching on the concerns of contemporary readers,
Fr. White examines questions such as whether Christianity is
compatible with the findings of the modern sciences, do historical
Jesus studies disrupt or confirm the teaching of the faith, and
does history confirm the antiquity of Catholic claims. This book
serves as an excellent introduction for young professionals with no
specialized background in theology who are interested in learning
more about Catholicism, or as an introduction to Catholic theology.
It will also serve as a helpful text for theology courses in a
university context. As Fr. White states in the book's introduction:
""This is a book that offers itself as a companion. I do not
presume to argue the reader into the truths of the Catholic faith,
though I will make arguments. My goal is to make explicit in a few
broad strokes the shape of Catholicism. I hope to outline its
inherent intelligibility or form as a mystery that is at once
visible and invisible, ancient and contemporary, mystical and
reasonable.
