Fr. Robert Barron

Reaching Out to Today's Culture by Fr. Robert Barron
his global media ministry: wordonfire.org
God: the sheer act of to be itself thru whom all finite beings act upon
You can't find God by looking among the beings of the world (phy or che evidence)
metaphysical reasoning
argument of contingency
I am who am: not a categorizal being.
You can approach God intellectually.
Introduction to Christianity (1968) by Josef Ratzinger
Any science: being can be known, is intelligent.
fought in being by a primordial being
The world was intelligently there.
All things came to be through that Word.
Vatican II: Bible is the Word of God.
Biblical interpretation
words of men
inspired by the Word of God coming thru the word of man
one great Author: God
one great theme: salvation
Bible: a collection of books, like a library, a wide variety of genre
philosophy: a way of knowing, prepares us for theology
science: The world is not divine. The world is intelligible.
Religion is the matrix in which other sciences come.
stone: the finality of death
Death is final, absolute, the end.
grieve when somebody dies: a stone rolled across
Vatican II: missionary council
The Church is meant to transform the world.
parallel between the Gospel of John & the Book of Genesis
JC is the Light that no darkness can overcome.
