In Reasons to Believe, Scott
Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the
Catholic faith--drawing from Scripture, his own struggles and those of
other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science.
Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the
supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer
complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a
personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable. Hahn
leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a
form--a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there
when we view the natural world through a microscope, through a
telescope, or through our contact lenses. At the heart of the book is
Hahn's examination of the ten "Keys to the kingdom"--the characteristics
of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of
creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace
where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a
kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by
Jesus Christ.
