Articoli correlati a Test Everything: Hold Fast To What Is Good
After 43 years service as a priest, an Oxford doctorate in history and years of studying philosophy and theology, he is convinced: 'It is more reasonable to believe in God than reject the hypothesis of God by appealing to chance ...Goodness, truth and beauty call for an explanation as do the principles of mathematics, physics and the purpose-driven miracles of biology which run through our universe. The human capacities to recognise these qualities of truth, goodness and beauty, to invent and construct, also call for an explanation...' Not averse to controversy (readers of Damian Thompson's blog on the Telegraph website will already know of Cardinal Pell's considerable influence and reputation within the world Catholic communion), this collection of writings is the perfect antidote to the onslaught from the Hitchens/Pullman/Dawkins brigade.

Recensione:
'His critical choices regarding the cultural wars are on target. With irony, humour and easily worn scholarship he counsels and cajoles the reader, always using the Cross of Christ as the unique and final measure of what it means to be human and thus holy ... His writings reveal a strong, gentle, and an all-embracing heart. The style is fluent and fresh. Mulling over them is a source of joy, wisdom, and wonder.' --US Cardinal Francis Stafford
