Episode Synopsis

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know This, Too, ITEST presents a webinar with Dr. Gerard Verschuuren and Dr. Stacy Trasancos on Faith That Makes You Think (December 10, 2022)Can faith ever make you think? For most people, thinking contradicts having faith. People who think do not have faith. And people who have faith do not think. That is the most common perception nowadays. But that perception is seriously flawed.In fact, there is a strong connection between thinking and having faith. St. Augustine expressed this quite clearly saying, “Believers are also thinkers: in believing, they think and in thinking, they believe.… If faith does not think, it is nothing.” In the Catholic tradition, this connection has been known as “faith and reason.” Pope John Paul II even wrote an encyclical on this issue, making them two sides of the same coin.https://faithscience.org/faith-think/
