Living Truth
Discerning the Mystery: An Essay On the Nature of Theology
by Andrew Louth
Eighth Day Press, 2007
(150 pages, $25.00, paperback)
reviewed by Robert W. Grano
“Since the end of the eighteenth century, theology has been hagridden by the spectre of the Enlightenment with its rejection of ways of understanding handed down by tradition and its endorsement of ‘scientific’ procedures as the sole way of attaining truth. This book seeks to exorcise this ghost.”
