Sarah Borden, Edith Stein

Abstract

The truths of faith are way beyond our grasp, but fortunately that does not make us afraid to speak about the Trinity. The ideas of  philosophy arouse far more fear, especially when the language is complicated and the jargon difficult. Yet for anyone wishing to  engage seriously with Edith Stein, it would be a shame to ignore her philosophy – this passion of her life – merely because her  published works, such as that on empathy, are at face value a daunting read. Now, however, Sarah Borden’s book has come to the rescue.
