Produktbeschreibung
The religious and apologetic treatise "The Faith of Our Fathers" was authored by American prelate James Gibbons, who was the Archbishop of Baltimore before being made a cardinal. The book, which was first published in 1876, is an explanation and defense of Catholicism that was written with the intention of allaying the worries and objections of non-Catholics living in the United States in the late 1800s. In his opening remarks, Cardinal Gibbons highlights the similarities that all Christians have and stresses how Catholic doctrine is consistent with the teachings of the early Church. He examines some of the core beliefs of Catholicism, offering justifications and background information on topics like the sacraments, tradition, and the power of the pope. Overall, James Gibbons' writings encourage collaboration and religious tolerance among various Christian communities while at the same time serving as a witness to the tenacity and vigor of the Catholic faith. The book continues to make a substantial contribution to the conversation on religious practices and beliefs in the setting of late 19th-century American culture.

Autorenporträt
American prelate James Gibbons (1834-1921) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Gibbons, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 23, 1834, rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a leading member of the American Catholic hierarchy. Gibbons was a fervent supporter of tolerance and religious freedom who made a substantial contribution to mending the rift between the Catholic Church and other religious groups. His initiatives helped Catholics become more accepted in American society because he thought that Catholicism and democratic values could coexist. Cardinal Gibbons was a prolific writer in addition to his pastoral responsibilities. "The Faith of Our Fathers," his best-known composition, is an American audience-focused defense of Catholicism. On March 24, 1921, Cardinal James Gibbons passed away, leaving behind a significant legacy as a leading figure in the American Catholic Church and an advocate for religious tolerance.
