Fides et Ratio, written by Saint Pope John Paul II, can easily be regarded as one of his most influential papal encyclicals for its view on faith and reason. The encyclical bridges the topics of philosophy, which is often associated with Hellenism, and theology, which is often associated with Catholicism, and shows how they work together as one free-flowing unit.
