With Sr Hyacinthe Defos Du Rau OP
Who is God, and how can we find out?
While the concept of God is often compelling, it is difficult to take the step into belief. In this episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi speaks with Dominican sister and theologian Sr Hyacinthe Defos Du Rau OP about the heart of Catholic belief: not just that God exists, but what kind of God He is – and how we can know anything about Him at all.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, like Jordan Peterson, “What does ‘belief’ or ‘God’ mean?”- this conversation is for you. Sr Hyacinthe explains how the Catholic tradition brings together reason, experience, and revelation; why we can know that humans are fundamentally good; and why we can’t fully comprehend God with intellect alone.
Discover why belief in God isn’t irrational, but a reasonable conclusion.
