The Importance of Studying Other Traditions

Priest: I think it's a Dominican thing to pay attention to those outside of our tradition. Reading someone who comes from a different tradition allows you to look at the different presuppositions and assumptions that you didn't realize because you were still for granted in the Thomistic tradition or the Catholic tradition, he says. "If you want to speak and evangelize to others, it's helpful to know the terms of the debate," priest adds.
