On Faith

Lessons from an American Believer

By: Antonin Scalia, Christopher J. Scalia - editor, Edward Whelan - editor, Clarence Thomas - introduction

Narrated by: Christopher J. Scalia

On Faith is an inspiring collection of the late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia's reflections on his own faith, on the challenges that religious believers face in modern America, and on the religious freedoms protected by the Constitution. Featuring a personal introduction by Justice Scalia's son Father Paul Scalia, this volume will enrich every reader's understanding of the legendary justice.

Antonin Scalia reflected deeply on matters of religion and shared his insights with many audiences over the course of his remarkable career. As a Supreme Court justice for three decades, he vigorously defended the American constitutional tradition of allowing religion a prominent place in the public square. As a man of faith, he recognized the special challenges of living a distinctively religious life in modern America, and he inspired other believers to meet those challenges.

This volume contains Justice Scalia's incisive thoughts on these matters, laced with his characteristic wit. It includes outstanding speeches featured in Scalia Speaks and also draws from his Supreme Court opinions and his articles. In addition to the introduction by Fr. Scalia, other highlights include Fr. Scalia's beautiful homily at his father's funeral Mass and reminiscences from various friends and law clerks whose lives were influenced by Antonin Scalia's faith.

Beautiful, Thoughtful, Inspiring

The overwhelming impression left on me by this superb collection of Antonin Scalia’s thoughts on the Catholic faith is just how central it was to his life. Nicely read, too. Very much worth a listen or two. God rest his soul.

outstanding

wonderful reading on the late Antonin Scalia, his faith and spiritual convictions in the Son of God.

Perfect Combination

I purchased the Audible version of this book to listen to on my morning walks. Christopher Scalia, the justice's son, reads like a professional narrator, keeping the listener engaged and never distracting us from the content . The collection of speeches and articles is interspersed with comments from Antonin Scalia's friends, colleagues,and family members. It all adds up to perfect combination that provides great insight into the man, into the Catholic faith, and into Antonin Scalia as a man of faith.

A man of faith greatly missed

Justice Scalia was that rarest of man, a man comfortably secure in his faith and his role as father, husband, judge and sinner. God bless the law and faithful legacy he left for all of America.

Very inspirational

I Laughed and cried. Humility on full display. I wished I knew him in person. He inspires me on so many levels. Thank you God for sharing him with me.
