Dr. Jose Rizal - Fr. Pablo Pastells religious controversy / Rizal Jose, 1861-1896 - Quezon City : R. Martinez & Sons, c1961. - v, 117 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.

To lovers and admirers of Rizal is dedicated this book which contains the hero's thoughts on philosophy and religion. A signal honor it was for the National Hero to have excelled in various sciences and arts. Of all of man's capacities, he considered reasoning as the highest because this is the only lamp nature has endowed him in order to assess different doctrines and beliefs, the duties to be fulfilled and the acts to be shunned even at the cost of life itself. It is interesting to know his convictions and arguments on religious matters, for those will aid us in thinking straight in the same way that they show the profoundness and brilliance of his intellect. An understanding o his convictions will also help a great deal in solving the ticklish question of whether he returned, before his death, to the faith of his infancy. --From the foreword
