Pierre Rousselot was a young Jesuit when his article The Eyes of Faith was poublished in the French theological journal Recherches de Societe Religieuse in 1910. Though regarded today as a penetrating and influential analysis of the act of faith in modern Catholic theology, it was perceived by the Neo-Scholastic theologians of the day as a major assault on their own method and doctrine, which they regarded as faithful to St Thomas and the Thomistic tradution. The most serious critiques were written by the Abbe Hippolyte Ligeard, a specialist in the history of the treatises on faith and apologetics in the Middle Ages, and by Stephane Harnet, Rousselot’s former professor in the Jesuit scholasticate at Hastings. They published their criticisms respectively in Recherches de Science Religieuse and the Dictionnaire de Theologie Catholique . Rousselot, defending his thesis, published his Answer to Two Attacks soon afterward. The present volume contains the first English translation of The Eyes of Faith , preceded by an introduction placing Rousselot in the intellectual climate of the day and examining some of the presuppositions of the essay. A translation of Rousselot’s Answer to Two Attacks is also included, as is an introduction outlining Abbe Ligeard’s and Professor Harent’s main criticisms of The Eyes of Faith .
