Synopsis
Explore how reason, faith, and doubt shape our idea of God and belief itself.
This book surveys how theology has been formed by three paths: the mystic’s insight, the authority of Church and Bible, and the claim of reason and conscience. It argues that these paths rarely stand alone and examines their tensions in modern thought. A key focus is the idea of a finitist God and the logical limits that shape religious belief.
Readers are guided through the concept of logical finitism, the critique of the infinite, and how these notions influence the understanding of God and religious truth. The text also discusses how belief can operate as a choice—what William James called a will to believe—alongside different senses of what it means to "believe."
- How mysticism, authority, and reason interact in religious thought.
- The argument that there can be a finitist, finite conception of the divine.
- A nuanced view of belief as knowledge, action, or feeling.
- Practical implications for faith, doubt, and religious commitment.
Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, theology, and those exploring the dynamics between evidence, belief, and practice.
