Synopsis
Beginning with the earliest proclamation of the Gospel up to the present, Benedictine theologian Ghislain Lafont traces the development of the Christian faith. In A Theological Journey, now available in this superb translation by Jonh Burkhard, O.F.M. Conv., Lafont explores key doctrines of the faith as they developed in answer to the needs and questions of people in each age. He then engages the questions and risks of today's world, inviting us to consider our place as Christians in history and in an increasingly globalized world. In the final analysis, Lafont's theological journey aims at inspiring us to hope in the midst of a world marked by conflict, pain, and suffering.
