Angels and Demons

I feel especially lazy. Having just returned from a thrilling journey across Rome in the company of Robert Langdon. In other words, I have just finished Dan Brown's beautiful novel "Angels and Demons". It's simply beautiful, full of mysteries and theological debates. Compared to its more dominant successor "The Davinci Code" I think "Angels and Demons" is emotionally richer, although surely less controversial.

The novel contains a very intelligent dialogue between religious faith and scientific faith.

You can find a nice comparison between both kinds of faith in this article:

Two Different Kinds of Faith: A Rant.

But I would like to point out that religious faith must not be blind. There can be reasoned, enlightened, regularly questionable and renewable religious faith IMHO.
