Magis Lecture | Faith, Belief, and Knowledge
Saint Ignatius College Prep 1076 W Roosevelt Rd, Chicago, ILFr. Adam Hincks, SJ, University of Toronto
"Believers are also thinkers: in believing, they think and in thinking, they believe." So said St. Augustine of Hippo, in contrast to our typical assumption that belief and knowledge are opposites, with belief associated with religious faith and knowledge with scientific thinking. In actual practice, though, there are many of instances of belief in science and many claims of knowledge in religion. In this talk Fr. Adam Hincks, S.J. (University of Toronto) will present knowledge and belief as interlocking rational activities and explore how they relate to religious faith.
