Has anyone read this? If so, would you recommend it to someone struggling with the concept of faith?

Hi beachgirl,

I only have a 'grad student's knowledge' of it. That is, I can cite 1 major term, 2 major themes and vaguely (mis)quote it.

Having said that, who is the someone? It's not the most accessible work. My sense is that it has nuggets here and there, but they're only found by wading through some heavy deductive reading.

I'm curious what the struggle is. Could you elaborate? With all the book-citing that is done on these boards, someone surely has a good resource for you.

Terry

the "someone" is not me, but a good friend of mine who has read one of doc's books and also Mere Christianity, but is still not convinced. i thought maybe Summa Contra might be good for him. it might appeal to the philosophical side of him?? i don't know.

You might want to check out a book by Curtis Chang: Engaging Unbelief: A Strategy from Augustine and Aquinas.
I have only partially read it, but what I read was very good.
