The Hidden Stream: Mysteries of the Christian Faith

0/5 ( ratings)

This book is a collection of stimulating, informal discussions in which Msgr. Knox re-examines some of the fundamental precepts of the Catholic faith as well as the formidable challenges facing Catholics today. Writing with his usual effortless grace and sparkling wit, Knox confronts such controversial topics as what is religion, man's doubts about God, the miracles of Christ, salvation outside the Church, sin and forgiveness, the Christian notion of marriage, and the resurrection of the body. The incisive religious insight and spiritual depth peppered with mischievous humor are the characteristic hallmarks of Knox's writing. He emphasizes that the Church in her teaching and sacramental life is a secret stream nourishing the world. The Hidden Stream is a lucid refresher course in the teachings of the Church for informed Catholics, a pleasant “must” for uninformed ones, and a bulwark for all concerned with explaining the faith to others. “I can think of no man of this century who enjoyed as did Ronald Knox such a mastery of the English language in all its varieties." —Evelyn Waugh “Few can match Msgr. Knox's pungent blend of humor and learning, his shrewd understanding of modern life and the vagaries of human nature.” —New York Times Book Review Table of Contents: Preface What Is Religion? Does Proof Matter? The Average Man's Doubts About God Our Knowledge of God by Analogy Survival After Death The Necessity of Revelation Preparatio Evangelica The Messianic Hope The New Testament The Christology of St. Paul Miracles The Claim of Christ The Four Marks of the Church The Development of Doctrine The Act of Faith The Nature of Mystery Sin and Forgiveness The Sacraments The Priesthood The Christian Notion of Marriage Our Lord's Teaching on Marriage and Divorce The Resurrection of the Body
