The Christian Faith (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Christian Faith<br><br>By Christian faith is here understood the object of that faith - that is to say, the body of Christian doctrine. We are about to try to draw this doctrine from its source, the teaching of Jesus, and then to set down clearly what our Lord has directed us to believe and to do.<br><br>I believe all the Son of God has said. I believe: such an act is both legitimate and prudent. What the Son of God has said: for God, who exists, has spoken to humanity, and the Christian Revelation is His supreme communication. What the Son of God has said: the Son of God - that is, Jesus Christ, who both asserted and proved that He was the Son of God, so that nothing remains for us to do but to set forth His teaching.<br><br>Such will be our line of advance.<br><br>There are those who have wished to reduce the teaching of our Lord to principles so vague as to suggest that our Catholicism is something new and distinct, and to give to its doctrines the air of subsequent additions. We, on the contrary, desire to show that there is no Christian Faith except the Catholic Faith, and that this precisely is the Faith which our Lord preached.<br><br>Excellent books on religion and apologetics have been published.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
