Meaning of Grace w/ Fr. Tom (Adults)
-
-
Using the book, THE MEANING OF GRACE, Fr. Tom Hawxhurst will unpack for us the mystery CHARLES JOURNET, explains. In 6 classes beginning September 13 Fr. Tom will unpack the book and Journet’s writing.
Few concepts are more important in Catholic theology than that of grace, but most adult Catholics never move beyond a schoolchild understanding of grace. Charles Journet explores philosophy, revelation and history to explain grace fully. Journet lays out both the doctrinal development of grace and corrects persistent mistakes that Catholics make about grace. He covers habitual grace, actual grace, predestination, justification, merit, and much more. He even includes a revealing exploration of Adam’s earthly paradise and how the nature of the Fall called forth God’s response of grace.
