E of other converts as well as from everyday Reasons to PDFEPUB or life and even natural science Hahn shows that reason and revelation nature and the supernatural are not opposed to one another rather they offer complementary evidence that God exists But He doesn't merely exist He is someone and He has a personality a personal style that is discernible and knowable Hahn leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a form a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there when we view. Reason to believe is a phenomenal read My initial intention was to slowly digest the contents of the book to ruminate on each arguments and really learn about the history of the Catholic church the arguments for our practices and pointers on how we should present these arguments to non believers or our fellow Christians However the lucidity of the arguments the breadth of historical context and the gentleness by which the author bring forth centuries of Catholic theology and beliefs has made me finish the book in less than 3 hours and probably 3 hour smost well spent this year so farAs the title of the book suggested the author plays the role of an apologetic someone who explain and defend the faith So it is natural that this is not even approximately close a comprehensive introduction of the Catholic faith but a response to skepticism and doubts that we usually have from our secular and non Catholic Christian friends He divides the book into 3 sections natural biblical and theological arguments I think the natural arguments are fairly dry although I do appreciate the uick historical introduction of StThomas Auinas' Five Ways Kant's moral argument or Pascal's Wager as part of the long winded defense of the non secular faith The beauty of the book comes forth when Scott Hann starts his biblical arguments for the authority one holy universal and apostolic of the Catholic Church Mary the Holy Communion and finally culminates in his passionate theological discussion of the Catholic Church as the restored and also transformed Davidic kingdomScott Hann emphasizes throughout the book that we should not try to be too ambitious about convincing others with our faith Indeed the point is not to always be able to piece together wise or witty response but to recognize and proclaim in our own humility the vastness and magnificent nature of the Christian faithSometimes we may answer with a single verse because that's what our friends are looking for; but the true Catholic answer is the entire Bible Sometimes we may answer in a single breath; but we must also answer with out entire lives
