Excerpt from Aletheia: Or, the Outspoken Truth on the Question of Divine Authoritative Teaching; An Exposition of the Catholic Rule of Faith Contrasted With the Various to Theories of Private and Fallible Interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures; With a Full Explanation of the W
Still there is a want, a serious and grave want for the many, and that is works written on Catholic faith and doctrine that fall in with the spirit and taste of the times. Say what we will, preach, exhort in season and out of season, men even Of good will are influenced by the prevailing sentiment and fashion they will not read what is generally considered dry and hard; and so for the great bulk Of Catholics these books brimful Of learning and piety, written with admirable precision and care, are a dead letter.

I have called this book "Aletheia" rather than "The Truth," because there is more in the Greek word than is conveyed in its English synonym applicable to my undertaking. I want not only to tell what I conscientiously believe to be the truth upon the most important subject that can possibly engage the attention of beings created for eternal life; but to tell it openly, and in a way that I hope will attract public attention. I wish most earnestly to bring what I have to say on the Catholic Rule of Faith into the open light, that it may have a chance of holding its own amongst the many new theories on religion which now attract the attention of the reading world.
I take to myself no credit for saying again what has been so much better said thousands of times over by really learned men: but I cannot help feeling that what the old Faith has to say for itself, must be said in a way that will fall in with the taste of the times. I would give anything I possess to write with the power and eloquence of those who fascinate the public in favor of modern theories of unbelief.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book makes the compelling case that, to attain true faith in God's word, one must rely on a living scriptural interpreter. The author maintains that without such a guide, one can never be certain of the meaning of God's word. Throughout, the author tackles the core issue of faith and deftly dismantles the notion of sola scriptura, the idea that scripture alone is the sole source of authority. The book draws on extensive Christian history, revealing that the divisions among Christians who rely solely on individual interpretation of the Bible are a notable scandal of the faith. The author invites the reader to question their faith and to consider that real faith must be grounded in certainty. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling perspective on the nature of authentic faith.
