This book offers a fresh theological perspective on faith by exploring its gnoseological and metaphysical foundations. It recovers the existential aspects of faith by engaging with the thought of Descartes, Hume, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Heidegger, and the Christian existentialism of Kierkegaard. This study is informed by the dynamic Thomistic lens developed by Cornelio Fabro (1911-1995), one of the most original twentieth-century commentators on Thomas Aquinas and a preeminent specialist on Kierkegaard and the phenomenon of militant modern atheism. In harmony with the guidelines presented by John Paul II in number 67 of Fides et Ratio (1998), the book will be of particular interest to students and professors of fundamental theology. This study will also provide a philosophical foundation for Christians interested in a deeper knowledge of their faith, and a stimulating topic for anyone questioning the openness of the human being to the Absolute.

“Fr. Marcelo Navarro shows that Fabro’s fundamental theology is a fertile starting point for additional postgraduate research and that Ireland is a hospitable place for the blossoming of Fabro studies beyond Italy.”
- Dr Joshua Furnal St. Patrick’s Pontifical University, Maynooth, Ireland
“Although Cornelio Fabro’s important contribution to the twentieth century has been neglected in recent decades, this work by Navarro Muñoz provides an accessible introduction to his thought. By using Fabro’s intensive Thomism, readers will discover a metaphysical and epistemological framework for fundamental theology. The particular emphasis on the act of faith will allow them to fruitfully engage in many aspects of contemporary theological debate.”
- Rev. Dr Neil Xavier O’Donoghue Lecturer in Systematic Theology and Director of Liturgical Programmes, St. Patrick’s Pontifical University, Maynooth, Ireland
“This volume addresses a central issue concerning the transmission of Christian faith, starting with the problematic of fundamental theology in the light of the Act of Faith by human persons. Dr Navarro explores the work of Cornelio Fabro in terms of establishing an epistemological and metaphysical foundation within the discipline of fundamental theology. [...] His research leads to the suggestion that traditional thought can work in dialogue with current approaches to the human subject and endorses Fabro’s viewpoint as a suitable lens for establishing the role of fundamental theology within Christian religious formation. Dr Navarro thus offers a fresh entry into a complex theological matter in a book that presents his ideas lucidly and appositely.”
- Mary E Mills University of Manchester
“This well-researched book is an engaging and deep reflection on Faith and philosophy from Cornelio Fabro’s Thomistic description of Catholic faith, which makes the book a unique contribution to Fundamental Theology.”
- Victor Velarde-Mayol Professor of Philosophy, Seton Hall University, USA
