As we all know,
Neo-Scholasticism is the development of the Scholasticism of the middle ages
during the latter half of the nineteenth century in Roman Catholic theology and
philosophy. The scholastic doctrine introduces us so many different teachings
that is really useful for us in giving answers to the questions which is until
now, still a question of many people. In my case, neo-scholasticism really
influenced me in my faith. It was that scholastics who introduces some answers
which I can say that not really a proof of God’s existence but scholastics made
clear to us what and who is really our God. This enlightenment of the concept
of the existence of God was made by the neo-scholastics easy to be understand
by the people of the modern time. As I have understood about Neo-Scholastic, the
Neo-Scholastics shared three major characteristics: first, their fidelity to
Divine Revelation as interpreted by the teaching of the Church; second, their
openness to rational speculation; and third, their reliance on the dialectical
method, technical language, and theological insights of Medieval and
Renaissance Scholasticism. In sum, Neo-Scholastic literature is marked by
logical rigor and precision of expression, and manifests an abiding confidence
in the supremacy of Faith, the capacity of reason, and the authority of the
Church.
On the other hand, even though I’m influence by the
scholastics but I would still be open to some other possibilities or ideas
which is not being introduced by the Scholastics. I am not close to some ideas
in this modern time which would also contribute to strengthen my faith and will
give benefits to the church. As of now Neo-Scholasticism influence me in my
understanding about my faith.
