This encyclical letter from John Paul II explains the relationship between faith and reason: Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth--in a word, to know himself--so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves. Author: John Paul II Format: 156 pages, paperback Size: 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 Publisher: U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ISBN: 9781574553024
