Pensées Catholiques Volume 1-Essais is a book by author Edward L. Helmrich, comprising of scholarly and theological themes, put concurrently to offer explanations to assorted questions regarding the Christian faith.
This book has been written in three distinct parts, with each section offering particular presentations. The first section entails a resonant look at four of the most popular literature masterpieces, which the author aspires to present criticism for, from a Catholicism standpoint. They include Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, Twelfth Night, and The Waste Land. The author will catch a reader’s attention with thought-provoking questions and ideas that aim to seek clarity on certain practices such as the daily manner in which mass is conducted with the popular but contrasting phrases of adding to Christ’s suffering when his suffering at Calvary was enough.
As readers will come to realize, there are a lot of untold concepts this book has revealed. They include the idea of God always wanting to become a man even if Adam and Eve never sinned. God has also been revealed to have chosen evolution as the means to develop creation. The author believes the plan of God for mankind did not derail and could never be derailed by Adams’s errors. Other matters of interest to a reader may include author Helmrich’s belief that death was God’s original plan, which gave each man and woman an opportunity to offer himself or herself completely to the Father in thanksgiving.
The Catholic faith has been found to represent some of the most complex ideas among all popular philosophies of humanity. In that line, the author has published a solid piece that provides practical wisdom, and truths, in a manner that leads to a closer relationship with the Creator. Pensées Catholiques Volume 1-Essais is a tapestry soaked with concrete explanation which arise alongside Catholic-approved takeaways making it an ideal springboard for Christian-based discussions. Its newfangled theological explorations and paradigm-shifting arguments are bound to appeal to many readers and especially those in the Catholic faith.
