Christian faith before we presume rationally to discuss them, so it seems to me to be negligence, says Boso in the Cur Deus Homo of St. A nselm, if, after having been confirmed in faith, we do not endeavor to understand what we believe. As in St. Anselm sday, so in ours, there are many who are asking questions about the deeper mysteries of the Christian religion, and many who speak contemptuously of them, failing to understand why God should have entered the womb of a woman, have been born of her and been nourished by her milk, or have suffered contumely and died on a Cross. These things, they urge, in our day as in his, are mere pictures, not historical events, but fictions, which we paint, as it were, on a cloud.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enduring mystery of why God became man, exploring the philosophical and theological underpinnings of this central tenet of Christianity. The author, building upon the work of Saint Anselm, seeks to bridge the gap between faith and reason, arguing that understanding the deeper mysteries of Christianity is not only possible but essential to fully appreciating the faith. The book examines the concept of God as a Trinity, the significance of the Incarnation, and the role of human free will in the face of divine creation. The author explores the implications of God's revelation to humankind, arguing that understanding the nature of God as revealed in Scripture is crucial to interpreting the world and our place within it. Ultimately, the book posits that the universe itself, with its intricate complexities and processes, is a testament to the nature of God, and that the human experience of life and its inherent challenges are ultimately intertwined with the divine plan. This book provides a compelling and nuanced exploration of the profound question of God's presence in our world, offering a fresh perspective on the mysteries of faith and the meaning of life itself.
