TRS 127 - In the Face of Mystery: Using Faith and Reason in the Search for God Upper Division
Prerequisites TRS 097 or TRS 189 .
For the Catholic intellectual, faith and reason are integrally related as two sources for coming to know about God. As St. John Paul II writes in his encyclical Fides et Ratio, “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth-in a word, to know Godself-so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.” The journey of understanding God is also intrinsically related to the search for truth, the search to understand the mystery of the human person, and, ultimately, the search for self-understanding.
