This book deals with the relations between rationality and
religious faith. In particular, it takes into consideration various
perspectives on the idea of an intellectual approach to the
Christian faith. Some of the key questions in this book will be:
Are some world views more rational than others? Is it rational to
believe in a transcendent dimension of reality? Is being a theist
more rational than being an atheist? Are there limits to what
questions we can hope to answer by rational and scientific
reasoning and investigation? What role can rationality play in the
study of time and reality? How can we settle questions about
transcendence and metaphysics? It is sometimes claimed that
rationality and logic are more or less opposed to the very ideas of
metaphysics and transcendence. This is, however, not at all the
case. On the contrary, notions such as validity and truth very
easily give rise to ideas of the transcendent and supernatural. No
final proof of the existence of a transcendent reality can be
given. Obviously all the arguments dealing with such problems have
to be based on some premises, which may be debated. But this book
illustrates that the study of logic, scientific understanding, and
various kinds of communication can provide useful insights
indicating that it seems rather reasonable to assume the existence
of a supernatural or transcendent reality.
