Paradoxes Of Catholicism (1913)

Paradoxes of Catholicism is a book written by Robert Hugh Benson in 1913. The book explores various paradoxes that are inherent in the Catholic faith. Benson, who was a British Anglican priest before converting to Catholicism, examines the apparent contradictions within Catholic doctrine and practice, and argues that these paradoxes are actually a sign of the faith’s depth and complexity.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different paradox. Some of the paradoxes examined in the book include the tension between faith and reason, the relationship between the individual and the Church, and the apparent conflict between science and religion.Throughout the book, Benson draws on his own experiences as a convert to Catholicism, as well as his extensive knowledge of Catholic theology and philosophy. He argues that the paradoxes of Catholicism are not obstacles to faith, but rather opportunities for deeper understanding and spiritual growth.Paradoxes of Catholicism is considered a classic work of Catholic apologetics, and has been praised for its clarity, insight, and intellectual rigor. It remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Catholic faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
