Religion and Medicine in the Middle Ages Book

Readers may be disappointed that questions of ethical discipline are relegated to the postscript. Instead, the book is solidly focused on Jesus Christ, the core dogma of faith, the attitude of the baptized to this dogma, and the current circumstances of this faith in the world.

This book shows the interpenetration of the mysteries of faith in reference to internal and external situation of the Church in this age: liberalism, pluralism, progressivism, political theology, ecumenism. For a similar discussion in dialogue with evangelical Protestantism, I recommend In the Fullness of Faith: On the Centrality of the Distinctively Catholic. The simplest and most radiant version of this conversation can be found in Balthasar's book on the rosary: The Threefold Garland: The World's Salvation in Mary's Prayer.
