The Gift of Faith as the universal catholic book

Fr. Bolesław Szewc

Abstract

The Gift of Faith (in some countries Inquiring Faith) convinces numerous people of various cultures. It is very demonstrative book that appeals to the experience of homo religiosus – religious man who is each one of us according to Mircea Eliade. To illustrate the issues of spiritual life, Fr T. Dajczer was using examples of universal human experiences: our talents, freedom and enslavedness, distrust and trust, uneasiness and peace, temptation and experience of a dessert, rich an humble means, emptying and our inner transformation etc. It is unlikely to write religious book for all religions but Fr Dajczer has achieved the supreme level of universality that is possible for entirely catholic book.
