Australian theologian Scott Cowdell explores how 'having faith' has
changed under the influence of modernity and post-modernity in the
West. He returns faith from pious sentimentality and arid
philosophy of religion to the realm of 'participating knowing',
'paradigmatic imagination', and personal transformation where it
belongs as a 'form of life', shaped by encounter with Jesus Christ
and worked out through the Eucharistic community. This is shown to
have been the typical understanding of faith from Saint Paul to the
Fathers to the medieval monastic theologians. Since the rise of
nominalism, however, modern individuals reflecting a God newly
remote from the world have struggled to maintain this participatory
vision of faith as a formative habitat. Mysticism is as close as
modernity got, while 'officially' faith was annexed by modern
Western culture, coming to share its anxious need for certainty and
control-systemic, exclusive, and violent-tending.
