Sinopsis

Explore how faith and reason meet in the shaping of religious belief.

This book surveys how religion rests on values and how intellectual consistency matters to a meaningful faith. It discusses how different thinkers, from Augustine to modern scientists, adapt Christian ideas to fit new standards of understanding. The discussion helps readers see why some people prize a traditional background while others seek a revised framework that still honors spiritual experience.

- Understand why religion is an emotional attitude tied to judgments of value.
- See how consistency is relative and varies with each mind and interest.
- Learn how the God-concept has evolved through historical shifts in belief.
- Explore how major Christian thinkers and modern philosophy interact in the Western religious tradition.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, religious studies, and intellectual history who want a clear view of how values, reason, and faith influence each other.

Excerpt from Religious Values and Intellectual Consistency

Since religion is so largely concerned with values, it necessarily follows that it contains a large amount of contingency; for values are empirical in their origin. To be sure, there is almost unanimous recognition of a certain group of values that are very closely related to the preservation of biological integrity. These values represent man's dependence on his physical environment. As the main condi tions of life are everywhere the same, we find in our own devotions petitions that have made their appeal to mankind through all ages. On the other hand, there are values that are highly contingent. These occur in connection with the ethical life and vary with economic, political, and intellectual conditions. The ethical values that we discover in the experience of successive heroes of our reli gious history differ vastly from one another. Abraham, Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Amos, deutero-isaiah, Ezekiel, Jesus, Paul, Benedict, Luther, Fichte, to come no nearer the present day, may each be said to stand for a significant change in the valuation of conduct. Among them is a wide variation in regard to what is to be called good. 'some of the values held to directly contradict and annul others. But all are parts of the same developing tradition, all are referred to God for his sanction, and each, in its time and place, expressed the current need.
