Faith And Rationality: Reason and Belief in God

4.10 out of 5 stars

Description

This perspective holds that Christian belief is not derived from a set of "neutral" premises, nor is it a conclusion drawn from "evidence" that is universally accepted. Rather, it is a commitment to the divine revelation, in which the believer finds an "ultimate" and "proper" foundation. This perspective challenges the assumption that Christian belief must be "proven" by means of universally accepted evidence. In this perspective, the believer is not required to "prove" his faith to anyone, nor is he required to demonstrate its "rationality" to the satisfaction of others. The believer's faith is not based on "evidence" but on the divine revelation itself. This perspective is not a rejection of reason, but rather a rejection of the notion that reason must be the only foundation of belief. The book, Faith and Rationality, is a collection of essays that explore the implications of this perspective for the Christian faith. The essays also explore the implications of this perspective for the nature of knowledge and reality. The book is written by a group of philosophers and theologians from a Reformed perspective. The book is a contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between faith and reason. It is not a book that tries to "prove" Christianity, but rather a book that tries to understand the nature of Christian faith and its relationship to reason. The book is an attempt to clarify the nature of Christian faith and its relationship to knowledge and reality.
