This week Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly are joined by Dominican priest and theologian Fr. James Brent, O.P., for a powerful conversation about Pentecost and the transformative power of truth in the Christian life. Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, and the Church Fathers, Fr. Brent explores how the descent of the Holy Spirit reveals not only divine power, but divine reason. The discussion also delves into the Catholic understanding of truth, freedom, and evangelization in a post-truth age, offering listeners both intellectual clarity and spiritual inspiration.
Fr. James Brent is a member of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph and serves as a professor at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. He is known for his accessible and profound teaching on Thomistic philosophy, the interior life, and the renewal of the mind in Christ.
