Abstract

Joseph Ratzinger believes that accepting faith is an act of cooperation between human reason and God’s grace. Ratzinger’s concept of man-God cooperation is complemented with his Logos Christology, under which Logos is not only a sense or a thought that manifests itself in objects (Greek conception), but through Incarnation, Logos reaches its fullness and becomes Logos incarnatus (Christian conception). Hence, believing in Logos gives man new, eternal life in God. And hence, faith is not a blind theory, or an out-dated idea. Instead, it is “seeking a path towards wisdom, reason and reality.” In this way, faith is a path towards man’s communion with God. Faith is a personal, and not a material category. Faith is, thus, a relationship of personal love, since God is Love (1 Jn 4:8).
