I was delighted to recently learn that Pope Leo had just authorized the publication of a substantial new study by the International Theological Commission (ITC) on a subject close to my own heart: Caring for Our Common Home: A Responsible and Fraternal Response to the Trinitarian God. While ITC texts don’t themselves constitute acts of the Church’s magisterium, I came away convinced that this one deserves serious attention. And I’m not saying this just because the Vatican’s vision closely parallels themes I develop in my Cosmic Covenant book that, by a lovely coincidence, was released at virtually the same time.
At any rate, if you want some good reading on the Trinity in relation to creation and its importance for Christian faith, the above ITC document is a great place to go.
You can read it yourself—or just start with this analysis in my latest column at Catholic World Report. And, for further engagement, I’m happy to recommend this follow-up discussion I had about the ITC document with Marcus Peter at Ave Maria in the Afternoon. Cheers!
Update: Here’s another great radio spot I was blessed to have with Dr. Ken Craycraft on Driving Home the Faith. In this interview, we pretty much focus exclusively on my latest book, whose themes overlap substantially with the recent ITC document.
