Doesn’t faith contradict thinking? Actually, no. The Catholic Church teaches that there is a strong relationship between faith and reason.

This book is specifically written for Catholics—fallen-away Catholics, lukewarm Catholics, struggling Catholics, would-be Catholics—for all those in search of the truth, as it gives life-saving answers to life-size questions.

TESTIMONIALS

“After a lifetime in the academy, I am convinced that the highest priority in the New Evangelization is intellectual evangelization, and specifically, apologetics—answering the major questions which so deeply concern our young people: Does God exist? Are we mere matter? Is there a conflict between the bible and science? Does evolution have to be rejected? What is happiness? Are we really free? How can suffering be reconciled with a loving God? This book does all of this in an incredibly accessible, engaging, and intelligent way—which paves the way into the mind and heart of the living God.” – Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith, Former President Gonzaga University

“We live in a time and place in which vague religiosity unattached to belief in anything in particular has apparently become an attractive option for a large and growing number of people, including some who call themselves Catholics. Gerard Verschuuren’s book is a bracing antidote, well-reasoned and clearly written, to this peculiar affliction and a timely reminder to us all that the pillars of authentic faith are grounded in truth.” – Russel Shaw, Professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome, Former Secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/US Catholic Conference

“I liked the clear style of writing I this book. Even though I am neither a philosopher or theologian I could understand the sometimes esoteric terms of those disciplines as the author explained them. I will definitely show this prominently on my bookshelf. This could be very useful for parish discussion groups. In fact, I am recommending it for our parishioners.” – Sr. Marianne Postiglione, RSM, Associate Director of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology

“This lively and accessible work should awaken or reawaken many Catholics to the glories of their Church as a beacon of faith and reason. It’s a real contribution to the New Evangelization.” – Mary Ann Glendon, Emeritus Professor of Law, Harvard University, Former US Ambassador to the Holy See

“Dr. Verschuuren’s book Faith That Makes You Think is an exceptional look at modern Christianity. The chapters in this great book move from the darkness of atheism into the light of faith.” – Roger Skrenes, author of Signs of Resurrection and The Human Equation

“In Faith that Makes You Think, Dr. Verschuuren demythifies the cultural assumption of the incompatibility of faith and science. Each chapter addresses misunderstandings and corrects mistakes clearly and convincingly for both the theologian and the lay person. While I am no philosopher or biblical expert, Dr. Verschuuren writes in a clear style comprehensible to the lay reader that enlightens the esoteric terms of those disciplines. As an elementary educator, I particularly enjoyed Chapter 6, “Made In God’s Image,” but every chapter is engaging and enlightening! Faith That Makes You Think will take a prominent place on my bookshelf–literally and metaphorically–and I look forward to using it in Sunday school and book club discussion groups.” – Jennifer Erickson, Elementary Educator, Alice Gustafson School, Batavia, IL

La Crisis en la Iglesia es semi-ficticio. Quiero decir con este término, que lo que es totalmente real son las opiniones expresadas por Ronda en los diálogos. Sin embargo, los nombres de lugares y los pensamientos de otros participantes, incluyendo el otro compañero de diálogo, James Marley, no son reales. La Crisis en la Iglesia se parece más a un largo artículo de opinión que a un libro académico. Por lo tanto, no he incluido referencias a muchos otros escritores sobre los mismos temas que he mencionado, ni a destacados oradores y escritores sobre la crisis.

TESTIMONIALS

“Cuando Eclesiastés 7:12 explicó que “la sabiduría da vida a los que la poseen”, su autor no necesitaba más que Ronda Chervin como explicación de lo que quería decir. En este diálogo comprometido, Chervin expone las divisiones en nuestra Iglesia y revela la gracia que es necesaria para sanarlas.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-autor con Dra. Ronda Chervin de Catholic Realism.

“La mayoría de los católicos sienten que desde la época del Vaticano la Iglesia ha estado experimentando una crisis, que generalmente describirían como una experiencia de división sin precedentes, que, inquietantemente, se manifiesta más claramente en el área de la doctrina. Si bien esto es ciertamente cierto … hay más en esta crisis. Chervin, la filósofa católica más articulada de la Iglesia hoy en día (¡70 libros publicados y contando!) abre este tema (que ha existido durante tanto tiempo que la gente está empezando a aceptarlo como la “nueva normalidad”) de una manera verdaderamente fascinante, es decir, en sí mismo … sin precedente. A través de un diálogo amistoso, pero intenso con un colega, el Dr. Chervin demuestra (como solo un filósofo puede) que la lucha espiritual de la era moderna, que es la base subyacente de la crisis en la Iglesia, es la cuestión “políticamente incorrecta” de … La verdad. Como señaló el cardenal Joseph Ratzinger en su libro… Verdad y tolerancia (Ignatius Press, 2004; p.193): “La confianza para buscar la verdad y encontrarla nunca es anacrónica: es precisamente esto lo que mantiene la dignidad del hombre, lo que rompe el particularismo y lo que lleva a los hombres unos hacia otros más allá de los límites de sus entornos culturales sobre la base de su dignidad común”. El nuevo libro del Dr. Chervin, a través de un enfoque dialógico (que ha sido defendido por el filósofo griego Sócrates, el filósofo judío Martin Buber y el filósofo católico San Juan Pablo II) muestra que en medio de esta crisis, hay esperanza … así como una oportunidad para el crecimiento y la curación.” — Fr. Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT, autor de The Prayer of Jesus Crucified, Adventures In The Father’s Joy, To Whom The Heart Decided To Love, y The Redemption of San Isidro.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Why Be An Atheist If???

by Sebastian Mahfood and Ronda Chervin

Who is an atheist? A person who is convinced that there is no God.
Who is an agnostic? A person who thinks there is no way to know if there is a God or there is not a God.
Who is a doubter? Usually a person raised to think there is a God who is not sure if that is true.
Who is a seeker? A person who is open to belief in any reality that others present as truly real.
Who is a theist? A person who is convinced that there is a God.

Why Be An Atheist If??? is an adaptation of Catholic Realism put together primarily for atheists but also offering many answers for agnostics, doubters, and seekers.

TESTIMONIALS

“When Ecclesiastes 7:12 explained that ‘wisdom gives life to those who possess it,’ its author needed point no further than Ronda Chervin as an explanation of what he meant. In this engaging dialogue, Chervin lays out the divisions in our Church and reveals the grace that’s necessary to heal them.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Dr. Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism.

“Most Catholics sense that since the time of Vatican ll the Church has been experiencing a crisis, which they would generally describe as an experience of unprecedented division, which, disturbingly, is most clearly manifest in the area of doctrine. While this is certainly true… there is more to this crisis. Dr. Chervin, the most articulate, female Catholic philosopher in the Church today (70 published books and counting!) opens up this issue (which has been around for so long now that people are beginning to accept it as the “new normal”) in a truly fascinating way, that is, in itself… unprecedented. By way of a friendly, but intense dialogue with a colleague, Dr. Chervin demonstrates (as only a philosopher can) that the spiritual struggle of the modern age, which is the underlying basis for the crisis in the Church, is the “politically incorrect” question of… the truth. As Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger pointed out in his book… Truth and Tolerance (Ignatius Press, 2004; p.193): “The confidence to seek for the truth and to find it is never anachronistic: it is precisely this that maintains the dignity of man, that breaks down particularism, and that leads men toward one another beyond the bounds of their cultural settings on the basis of their common dignity.” Dr. Chervin’s new book, by way of a dialogical approach (which has been championed by the Greek philosopher Socrates, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, and the Catholic philosopher St. John Paul ll) shows that in the midst of this crisis, there is hope… as well as an opportunity for growth and healing.” — Fr. Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT, author of The Prayer of Jesus Crucified, Adventures In The Father’s Joy, To Whom The Heart Decided To Love, and The Redemption of San Isidro.
