This book offers a rigorous analysis of why commitment matters and
the challenges it presents to a range of believers. Peter Forrest
treats commitment as a response to lost innocence. He considers the
intellectual consequences of this by demonstrating why, for
example, we should not believe in angels. He then explores why
humans are attached to reason and to humanism, recognising the
different commitments made by theist and non-theist humanists.
Finally, he analyses religious faith, specifically fideism,
defining it by way of contrast to Descartes, Pascal and William
James, as well as contemporary philosophers including John
Schellenberg and Lara Buchak. Of particular interest to scholars
working on the philosophy of religion, the book makes the case both
for and against committing to God, recognising that God's divine
character sets up an emotional rather than an intellectual barrier
to commitment to worship.
