I Believe That I May Know, I Know That I May Believe

The author, an octogenarian and lifelong member of the Roman Catholic Church, reflects upon the divinity of Jesus, the founder of his church, its perfection and the imperfections of its members. On the subject of virtues, he employs the ethical writings of the Greek Philosopher, Aristotle, who preceded the coming of Jesus. Blending the Aristotelian and Christian virtues would seem to project their naturalness and reasonableness. Aristotle opined that the primary effect of the virtuous life is happiness, to which we all, naturally, tend. The overriding theme of the book is that, for the Christian, inspired by a faith in Jesus Christ, practicing the all-encompassing virtue of justice, perfected by the virtue of love, will lead to perfection and eternal union with God.
