Title: Baldwin of Forde
First published: January 2006
Description: Using the techniques of nascent scholasticism, the author recommends faith as the foundation of our relationship with God and with neighbour. His approach has all the precision of scholasticism, but not its style. Expecting those endowed with reason to use it, he urges them to explore God's self revelation in Scripture. Each brief chapter inexorably leads to the next, and by its solid, logical progression he demonstrates that the careful and judicious use of reason does not destroy faith but instead strengthens and confirms it.
