Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Endowments of Man: Considered in Their Relations With His Final End These Lectures were delivered in their original form to the clerics of St. Bernard´s Seminary, but have since been reconstructed and enlarged for a wider audience. They are an example of that constructive method of teaching, which, so far from neglecting the analytical method, absorbs it in the edifice built up of large and harmonious truths. Two objects are contemplated in this work. The first and chief is to fortify the Catholic mind against the errors respecting man and his endowments which so widely pervade the world of thought in our day, not so much by direct confutation of them, as by confronting them with the Catholic view of man, as revealed by God, and drawn out by Catholic thinkers through the long ages of Christianity. It has for some time been the fashion with the infidel school to leave God aside, to declare that the Divine Author of their being is unknown to them, and is inaccessible to their knowledge. By thus confessing their mental and moral blindness, these men, who profess, notwithstanding, to be the enlighteners of their age, put themselves to shame before the common sense and conscience of mankind at large. Nevertheless the poison of their writings makes its way into many unguarded minds; and whilst they profess not to have God in their knowledge, they are mischievously employed in endeavouring to pull man to pieces, and as far as the theories of the brain can destroy the facts of creation, to efface from him the testimonies of God, and the witnesses of his noble origin and sublime destination. What they endeavour to destroy is the subject of this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
