Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible and Rationalism or Answer to Difficulties in the Books of Moses, Vol. 1 Each century has its peculiar intellectual life, and divine Providence always holds in reserve the proper nourishment. This nourishment especially consists in three things: In the faith, arms and study; these three form the Christian, the soldier and the savant. The one who prepares himself by the study to combat for his faith; the one who seeks the truth, not only to know it, to possess it, but also to propagate and defend it, can lay claim to these three titles. This was true at all times. Every Catholic, even moderately acquainted with the course of modern science, must be painfully aware that its professed relations to faith are simply hostile. Weapons are sought in every region of enquiry and speculation, with which to beat down revealed truth, or to assail its defenders. In our epoch error adorns itself with the most pompous and captivating names, with the cloak of science and thus enters our schools and workshops, in order to deny God and His revelation, the Church and her doctrine. Historical facts are misrepresented and used to calumniate God´s Church and her most sacred institutions. Geology, Palæontology, Ethnology, Biblical Criticism, and above all, the new Science of Comparative Religion yield arguments that must be met, and difficulties that must be answered if we would save educated Catholics, perhaps from loss of faith, but certainly from painful perplexity of mind. Questions of faith and science are now in the forefront of our modern intellectual life. They confront us at ever turn. To enable the Catholic to cope with them, the present work will furnish to him some weapons in a simple and condensed form, its scope is instructive, critical and apologetical. We do not claim any originality for the present work; its articles are culled from various authors. The works especially used in the composition of this book are "Dictionnaire Apologetique," by J. B. Jaugey; "Les Livres Saints et la Critique Rationalist," 5 vols. by Rev. F. Vigouroux; "La Bible et les Deconvertes Modernes," 5 vols. idem; and Mgr. Meignand, "Le monde et l´homme primitif." Since we wrote the work under the pressure of the various pastoral duties, no doubt some inaccuracies and omissions will be discovered, in regard to these we trust to find indulgence with the reader.
