This book should not be taken as just another attempt to present the fundamental principles of Catholicism. This is a view not so much from the content of Catholic doctrine, but from the forms in which it historically arose and exists today. The chosen perspective does not in the least prevent Aiden Nichols from addressing a number of key issues of theology: the origin, foundation and development of faith, the relationship between the components of the doctrine, and the influence of Christianity on the way of life of an individual in society. The author shares with the reader his thoughts on the status of modern science, literature and art in the light of the Catholic faith and invites to conversation not only theologians, but all those who are interested in the intellectual and spiritual tradition of Catholicism.
