Faith and reason are the two components of determining the truth. Each of them are important in this journey for truth. Moreover, philosophy is the handmaid to understand more deeply the study of theology. Upon reading the book, may be the author was belonged to the medieval philosophers but, he only used the ideas of the medieval philosophers in order to portray or to illustrate his point. I could not deny the fact that the late Pope John Paul II explained this kind of topic so that the new generation will be reminded of the essence of critical thinking. Lastly, the author challenge everyone of us to pursue the truth by using this two things in striving the truth in this reality, because faith and philosophy recover the profound unity which allows them to stand in harmony with their nature without compromising their mutual autonomy.
