Can a philosopher defend the rational warrant for belief in
Christianity? Is it reasonable to be religious? Is it
philosophically responsible to be a Christian who believes in the
mystery of the Trinity? Principles of Catholic Theology explores
these questions in a systematic way by considering questions of
ultimate explanation. Why not hold that modern atheistic naturalism
provides the best explanation of reality? Or, if there is a
transcendent first principle that explains all of reality, is it
impersonal rather than personal? Contrastingly, if monotheism
constitutes the best explanation for created being, how can we
reasonably believe in any particular revelation concerning God?
What are the criteria for rational belief in revelation? Thomas
Joseph White, OP, considers these questions by exploring a series
of topics: the transcendentals (existence, oneness, truth,
goodness, beauty); rational argument for the existence of God; the
immateriality and subsistence after death of the personal soul of
the human being; the historical and conceptual coherence of
Trinitarian doctrine; and the reasonableness of the natural desire
to see God. The aim of Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 2 is
to place contemporary natural reason in profound dialogue with the
Catholic faith and to think about ways that we can consent to the
profound mystery of the Holy Trinity that are in robust concord
with the knowledge obtained from philosophical, scientific, and
historical sources.
