Descriere

""Faith Comes from What Is Heard: An Introduction to Fundamental Theology"" informs both the heart and mind as it brings together dogmatic and biblical theology, the Thomistic tradition, the teachings of the Fathers of the Church, and the contemporary Magisterium. Drawing heavily upon the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, Bl. John Henry Newman, Joseph Ratzinger, and St. John Paul II, the author examines the foundations of Catholic theology, or Fundamental Theology, ""which is theology's reflection on itself as a discipline, its method, and its foundation in God's Revelation transmitted to us through Scripture and Tradition."" Although ""Faith Comes from What Is Heard""is useful for all Catholics who want to understand the foundations of their faith, it is specifically designed to serve as a textbook for courses in Fundamental Theology in seminaries and in graduate and undergraduate programs in theology. It can also serve as a textbook for introductory theology and Scripture courses. The topics covered in ""Faith Comes from What Is Heard"" include: Revelation and Faith Theology Tradition and the Magisterium Biblical Hermeneutics the Historicity of the Gospels and Biblical Typology
