Synopsis

What is the relationship of imagination to faith? Can the Bible be reconciled with modern science? What does it mean to say that Scripture is “inspired”? How can one distinguish authentic from counterfeit mysticism? Already the source of heated debate (both within the Catholic Church and without) more than a century ago, when Dominican friar Vincent McNabb, O.P., penned the six essays collected in this volume, such questions remain topical today, and McNabb’s answers to them remain no less insightful and provocative.McNabb approaches his chosen themes with the combination of faithfulness to orthodoxy and openness of mind and heart that one would expect from a student not only of the thought, but also of the method of St. Thomas Aquinas. Written with the nuance of a scholar and the evangelical solicitude of a pastor, God’s Dealings with the Minds of Men will challenge believers and non-believers alike to reexamine their assumptions about the nature and purpose of religious experience, the roles of creativity and reason in the cultivation of belief, and the relevance of ancient wisdom in the present age.
