Why I am a Christian
Professor Bernard J. F. Lonergan
The fundamental thing is God's gift of His love. And the heart has
reasons that reason doesn't know. That's the basic thing about faith. And
to go further than that whom do we depend upon? The prophets, Jesus
Christ, the Apostles and so on. It's a historical problem. And you have
to do the history not as though you're studying a life of Christ in the
same way as you write a life of Julius Caesar but in the light of faith,
in the light of loving God above all. God has flooded our inmost heart
with His Love through the Holy Spirit He has given us. Romans
5:5. And you carry out your studies in the light of that Love.
