description: Faith is a highly distinctive kind of knowledge, a knowledge that works through love, through the heart, and because we misunderstand the nature of this knowledge we resist it, or fail to respond fully to its mysterious call. Part I is a reflection on how I first heard this call of faith coming through an experience of human love, and struggled to respond to it and understand it. Part II describes three ways in which this knowledge is in the process of being rediscovered in the 20th the debates of the theologians on the nature of faith, wisdom and gnosis in the Scriptures and Fathers, and Jacques Maritain on knowledge through connaturality. Part III is an attempt to understand the inner nature of faith, after the pattern of human love.
