Description: "In Mystery and Tradition, author and retired professor of religion, Joseph Stoutzenberger, serves as a patient guide, leading spiritual seekers through the wonders and wisdom Catholicism has to offer. He goes beyond common knowledge, delving into the underlying thinking and historical contexts, and then poses the question, "What do you think?" He invites readers to consider the mystery of God and their relationship to Him by presenting the truth as taught by the Church's tradition through the ages. The questions provided at the end of each chapter and throughout the book reinforce readers' comprehension and, more significantly, challenge them to apply the truths they uncover to their lives and relationships with others. Both inquirers and lifelong Catholics looking to deepen their faith can benefit from this book.

Each chapter concludes with a list of publications for those who wish to dig even deeper"--
