THE CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL TRADITION
September 17, 2023
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON
Word on Fire Catholic Ministries
Bishop Barron explores some foundational themes in the Catholic intellectual tradition, including God, the human person, sin and grace, society, and freedom. All flow from Christology, our understanding of Jesus, so that, as St. Bonaventure said, Christ is truly found at the center of all the disciplines pursued in the university.
