SUMMARY:Never Doubt Thomas: The Catholic Aquinas as Evangelical and Protestant
DESCRIPTION:Theologian\, philosopher\, teacher. There are few religious figures more Catholic than Saint Thomas Aquinas\, a man credited with helping to shape Catholicism of the second millennium. In Never Doubt Thomas\, Francis J. Beckwith employs his own spiritual journey from Catholicism to Evangelicalism and then back to Catholicism to reveal the signal importance of Aquinas not only for Catholics but also for Protestants. \nAbout the Book:\nBeckwith begins by outlining Aquinas’ history and philosophy\, noting misconceptions and inaccurate caricatures of Thomist traditions. He explores the legitimacy of a “Protestant” Aquinas by examining Aquinas’ views on natural law and natural theology in light of several Protestant critiques. Not only did Aquinas’ presentation of natural law assume some of the very inadequacies Protestant critics have leveled against it\, Aquinas did not\, as is often supposed\, believe that one must first prove God’s existence through human reasoning before having faith in God. Rather\, Aquinas held that one may know God through reason and employ it to understand more fully the truths of faith. Beckwith also uses Aquinas’ preambles of faith―what a person can know about God before fully believing in Him―to argue for a pluralist Aquinas\, explaining how followers of Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam can all worship the same God\, yet adhere to different faiths. \nBeckwith turns to Aquinas’ doctrine of creation to question theories of Intelligent Design\, before\, finally\, coming to the heart of the matter: in what sense can Aquinas be considered an Evangelical? Aquinas’ views on justification are often depicted by some Evangelicals as discontinuous with those articulated in the Council of Trent. Beckwith counters this assessment\, revealing not only that Aquinas’ doctrine fully aligns with the tenets laid out by the Council\, but also that this doctrine is more Evangelical than critics care to admit. \nBeckwith’s careful reading makes it hard to doubt that Thomas Aquinas is a theologian\, philosopher\, and teacher for the universal church―Catholic\, Protestant\, and Evangelical. \nThe Fr. James V. Schall Lecture Series is a monthly feature of the Catholic Information’s Center’s program with speakers addressing recurring themes in Fr. Schall’s writings\, such as liberal learning\, the relationship between faith and reason\, and great writers in the Catholic tradition.

SUMMARY:Eat\, Fast\, Feast: Heal Your Body While Feeding Your Soul—A Christian Guide to Fasting
DESCRIPTION:“Today’s student will largely have to educate himself in the highest things. He will do this by reading and conversing—even by prayer and fasting. The college student needs the virtue that enables him to see the origins\, the first principles. These will be invisible to the person who cultivates evil habits—since his mind will busy itself\, even exhaust itself\, trying to rationalize the person’s bad decisions. He won’t even have the energy to try to search for truth.” – Fr. James Schall\, “How to Keep Your Virtue in College\,” August 2017 \nIn this installment of the CIC’s Fr. James V. Schall Lecture Series\, Jay W. Richards\, PhD\, delves into the topic of his latest book\, Eat\, Fast\, Feast: Heal Your Body While Feeding Your Soul—A Christian Guide to Fasting. \nDr. Richards blends old Christian eating habits with current research on the benefits of fasting in this spirited outing. Richards stumbled into fasting when he eliminated certain foods from his diet in conjunction with medical tests. Instead of feeling the fatigue he expected\, Richards noticed moments of lucidity and strength and decided to explore the practice. Christians used to fast as part of their normal routine\, he writes\, but it has been forgotten over the years except for special occasions\, such as Lent. Richards presents a plan that incorporates keto diet principles\, which help the body burn fat\, and explores the simple “16 hour fast” as well as the relationship between fasting and cultivating discipline\, sacrifice\, and ultimately holiness. Facts about how the body breaks down carbs and regulates insulin help readers make informed choices about adopting a healthy diet. He also provides ideas for feasts and “mini-feasts” that\, following times of fasting\, allow for healthy\, communal eating experiences. Christians interested in fasting diet trends will find this instructional and convincing. \nThe Fr. James V. Schall Lecture Series is a monthly feature of the Catholic Information’s Center’s program with speakers addressing recurring themes in Fr. Schall’s writings\, such as liberal learning\, the relationship between faith and reason\, and great writers in the Catholic tradition.
