Since that time, the number of religious \"nones\" in America has grown significantly, and the most common reason given for becoming a \"none\" is the incompatibility of faith and reason. For scholars who disagree with this view, its newfound mainstream status calls for a unique response: refrain from defense and instead reassess the articulation of the relationship between faith and reason in one's own tradition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book reassesses the Roman Catholic articulation, which is found in the First Vatican Council's \u003ci\u003eDei Filius\u003c\/i\u003e. The debate about faith and reason that occasioned \u003ci\u003eDei Filius\u003c\/i\u003e is the jumping-off point of the reassessment. The book examines Gerald McCool's surprising claim that theologians in the opposed camps of fideism and rationalism appropriated the same epistemology, and that the main author of \u003ci\u003eDei Filius\u003c\/i\u003e challenged this epistemology before the council. A timeline and review of \u003ci\u003eDei Filius\u003c\/i\u003e itself follows. Lastly, the book turns to Bernard Lonergan, who also challenges the epistemology in question, advances an interpretation of \u003ci\u003eDei Filius\u003c\/i\u003e, and reflects on reason's role in the lead-up to faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey A.
