Rationality and Religious Commitment shows how religious commitment
can be rational and describes the place of faith in the postmodern
world. It portrays religious commitment as far more than accepting
doctrines-it is viewed as a kind of life, not just as an embrace of
tenets. Faith is conceived as a unique attitude. It is irreducible
to belief but closely connected with both belief and conduct, and
intimately related to life's moral, political, and aesthetic
dimensions. Part One presents an account of rationality as a status
attainable by mature religious people-even those with a strongly
scientific habit of mind. Part Two describes what it means to have
faith, how faith is connected with attitudes, emotions, and
conduct, and how religious experience may support it. Part Three
turns to religious commitment and moral obligation and to the
relation between religion and politics. It shows how ethics and
religion can be mutually supportive even though ethics provides
standards of conduct independently of theology. It also depicts the
integrated life possible for the religiously committed-a life with
rewarding interactions between faith and reason, religion and
science, and the aesthetic and the spiritual. The book concludes
with two major accounts. One explains how moral wrongs and natural
disasters are possible under God conceived as having the knowledge,
power, and goodness that make such evils so difficult to
understand. The other account explores the nature of persons, human
and divine, and yields a conception that can sustain a rational
theistic worldview even in the contemporary scientific age.
