Throughout the ages one of the central topics in philosophy of
religion has been the rationality of theistic belief. This book
proposes that parties on both sides of this debate might shift
their attention in a different direction, by focusing on the
question of whether it is rational to be a religious theist.
Explaining that having theistic beliefs is primarily a cognitive
affair but being a religious theist involves a whole way of life
that includes one's beliefs, Golding argues that it can be
pragmatically rational to be a religious theist even if the
evidence for God's existence is minimal. The argument is applied to
the case of Judaism, articulating what is involved in religious
Judaism and arguing that it is rationally defensible to be a
religious Jew. The book concludes with a discussion of whether a
similar argument might be constructed for other versions of
religious theism such as Christianity or Islam, and for
non-theistic religions such as Taoism or Buddhism. Joshua Golding
offers a carefully wrought explanation of how it can be rational
for someone to live a religious life, in particular (but not
necessarily only), a traditional Jewish life.
