Reason & the Contours of Faith

Bag om Reason & the Contours of Faith

Can reason and religion get together? Should believers think? Can thinking people believe? Does religion have to make sense? Does careful thinking help or hinder religious experience? People have wrestled with such questions for hundreds of years, and they are just as perplexing today as ever. Reason & the Contours of Faith explores the wide-ranging issues these questions raise, from biblical interpretation and proofs for God's existence to the nature of religious conversion. Its central purpose is to find an alternative to both fideism, the idea that reason has nothing to do with faith, and rationalism, the conviction that reason has everything to do with it. Part One, ""Reason and the Contents of Faith,"" argues that reason contributes in important but limited ways to our understanding of religion. Part Two, ""Reason and the Experience of Faith,"" shows that reason can support religious commitment, but never produces it.
