Excerpt from Where Believers May Doubt: Or Studies in Biblical Inspiration and Other Problems of FaithIT may not be rash to hold that two intellectual gifts are still needed in fuller measure to bring Catholic apostles and apologists into touch with the thinkers of our day - the power of sight and of insight, in other words, the rare gifts of appreciation and of thinking. Nowadays when those outside the Fold are thinking earnestly if somewhat erratically, one of the first duties of the Catholic writer is to set a true price upon the good which lurks under every evil, the inner truth which ever remains the contradiction and strength of everything untrue. To refute a man we must point out where he is wrong, but to convince him we must point out where he is right. A still earlier duty than that of mastering our opponents' truths, is to have mastered our own by patient thinking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
