Between Faith and Reason

History & Biography

“Between Faith and Reason is an insightful collection of essays that explore Catholic Modernism. Morrow’s first chapter is autobiographical and contextualizes Catholic Modernism within the history of modern biblical scholarship. The personal nature of the first chapter makes it my favorite in the book. Morrow then focuses the study onto Alfred Loisy. He draws interesting comparisons between Loisy’s ecclesiology and some of the debates and directions taken by the Second Vatican Council, especially on the universal call to holiness. Written in very approachable language, Morrow’s handy text would be useful in the classroom or for personal reading and understanding of Catholic thought.”
