Faith and Criticism addresses a central problem in the Church today
- the tension between traditionalists and progressives.
Traditionalists want above all to hold fast to traditional
foundations in belief and to ensure that nothing of value is lost,
even at the risk of a clash with 'modern knowledge'. Progressives
are concerned above all to proclaim a faith that is credible today,
even at the risk of sacrificing some elements of traditional
doctrine. They are often locked in uncomprehending conflict. Basil
Mitchell argues that, not only in theology but in any other serious
intellectual pursuit, faith and criticism are interdependent. A
tradition which is not open to criticism will eventually ossify;
and without faith in some established tradition criticism has
nothing to fasten upon. This interdependence of faith and criticism
has implications for society at large. Religious education can be
Christian without ceasing to be critical, and a liberal society can
espouse Christian values.
