MAN'S DESIRE FOR GOD
— Fr. Brian Thomas Becket Mullady, O.P., S.T.D.
Here is the book that will help you discover how to be “fully alive”. Esteemed theologian Fr. Thomas Mullady, O.P., shares a fresh perspective on why you are called to union with God. He provides accessible and relevant answers to commonly asked post-Vatican II questions on Catholic theology, tackling the philosophical definition of personhood, the problem of free will, and Thomistic queries still being debated among theologians.
Fr. Mullady offers a springboard for understanding contemporary issues such as:
- The Sanctity of life and how marriage and parenting uphold human dignity
- The existential problem of death and how to more fully understand human destiny
- The centrality of the redemptive nature of the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist
- The loss of authentic fatherhood and masculinity in the West and the need for a renewed understand of God as Father
Father examines each topic from the perspective of faith and reason and provides a new understanding of both the positive and negative contributions of the Catholic theologians of the last fifty years, including Karl Rahner and Henri de Lubac. Father also explores the impact of the philosophers René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, and Martin Heidegger on modern theological thought, with an emphasis on the influence of phenomenology and humanism.
This book shows how the trajectory of human life is oriented toward the “development of the image of God in man.” By seeking to follow the truth with an open heart, your soul will begin to experience happiness on earth that precedes the fullness of joy in our Father’s house in Heaven.
