'The Many Faces of Credulitas' is about the relationship between belief, credibility, and credulity. It argues that due to a series of different historical factors, credibility assumed a central role in post-Reformation Catholicism. This led to an important reconsideration of the relationship between natural reason and supernatural grace and consequently to novel and significant tensions. This book seeks to elucidate some of the difficulties, anxieties, and tensions caused by the new insistence on credibility that came to dominate the theological and intellectual landscape of the early modern Catholic Church.
