TRUTH, FAITH, AND REASON: POPE BENEDICT XVI’S SPEECH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF REGENSBURG

Gerald Marsh
Issued Date: 9 Oct 2013

Abstract


Pope Benedict XVI interleaved two themes in his lecture at the University of Regensburg on September 12, 2006.1 These will be discussed here in two separate parts: Truth, Faith, and Reason and The Dialogue of Cultures. The first addresses the Pope’s proposal to expand scientific reasoning to include the “rationality of faith”; and the second with the threat of radical Islam, and whether a “dialogue of cultures” is possible if the West persists in its belief in what the Pope calls a “reason which is deaf to the divine.”
