November 13, 2024

"Light in the Darkness" offers a source of illumination in an often-challenging world by providing philosophical and theological insights concerning the Holy Mother of God. It emphasizes the renewal of theology surrounding Christ and the Holy Spirit within the Catholic Church. This work includes an exposition of the writings of the late Catholic philosopher Gabriel Marcel, focusing on his concepts of hope and love. Additionally, it features a careful and intriguing comparison between the Roman Catholic theology of Purgatory and the Toll-House tradition found in certain Orthodox Christian practices. Looking into the theology of death helps us get a better grasp of God as our Creator and enriches our Christian journey. It’s an eye-opening way to deepen our faith and understanding!
