Father Thomas J. White, OP
Father Thomas J. White, OP, of the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC, has distilled the essentials of Catholicism into a single volume, The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism. I devoured the book (insofar as you can devour a work that relies on Thomas Aquinas’s methods and language) in a few days despite being a slow reader. His style is accessible and his prose elegant with a whiff of humor here and there. All of that comes through in this interview, as Father White gets down to basics of foundations of Catholicism.
In this episode, you will learn:
-What the gospel really is
-The philosophical and biblical basis for the Catholic Church’s main claim to be founded by Christ
-What Scripture is and why we can trust the New Testament as a historical document
-A simple way to explain the Trinity
