Relation Conducive To Books Theology and Sanity

I can't give this book the reviews it deserves. Whatever feeble effort I provide will be lacking.

I remember loving this the first time i read it. Having such a clear thinker and a clear teacher at the same time seems so rare. How often can you read a major section on the Trinity and not be left dumbfounded or feeling the explanation was just not very good. You dive into the mystery wanting to dive farther.

“Sanity, remember, does not mean living in the same world as everyone else; it means living in the real world. But some of the most important elements in the real world can be known only by the revelation of God, which it is theology’s business to study.”

This theme is found in his books and he really makes the point here. So you get a solid explanation of theology along with some very sharp observations.

If you don't have this buy it and right now the Kindle version is $.99.

Indeed, the chapter on the Trinity is the best. Fr Sheed puts it beautifully:Now it is true that the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity is a mystery, and that we can knowit only by faith.But what we have just been hearing is not the mystery of the Trinity,it is not the mystery of anything, it is wretched nonsense.It may be heroic faith to believe it, like the man whoWished there were four of 'emThat he might believe more of 'em;or it may be total intellectual unconcern?God has revealed certain

One of my favorite books ever.I have been reading it for decades Ha HaIt really is a refreshingly sane space in a mad world.I recommend it to anyone who loves God or wants to know Him better.

A more expanded, "meatier" version of Sheed's other fine work, "Theology for Beginners." A great resource for developing one's theological understanding.

This book is not necessarily for beginners but it's maybe the second or third theology book you should read. He has wonderful analogies. The end of the book isn't that great but it's definitely worth reading the first 4/5 of the book. His explanation of the Holy Trinity can't be beat.

Brilliant. Like an x-ray peering into the inner realities of God and Man. To live and love in reality is sanity. So many of us choose the insanity of pride and sin. This book uncovers reality to show us that sanity leads to sanctity. Like A good meal, this book deserves time to chew on and savor. Oh, and Sheed had the best explanation of the Trinity I've ever read.

thought this books was going to get down to the nitty-gritty and get some answers, but left me with asking more questions. maybe i didn't read it close enough. but it definitely got me thinking.
