Theologians and great thinkers from the apostle Paul to St. Thomas Aquinas, to contemporary philosophers such as Karl Rahner, will all have a part in this journey to fully understanding the concept of God’s grace and its role in our Catholic lives every day.
This program will help you feel more in touch with your inner grace, and help you grapple with the challenging ideas of grace and sin in the world. Fr. McDermott does a remarkable job of opening your minds to the history of past theological debates on these terms, while helping you find, in your heart, what you truly believe.
