The concerns of philosophy and of religion overlap to a
considerable extent-each seeks, among other things, to develop an
account of mankind's place in the universe. But their relationship
has never been an easy one. Faith gives rise to philosophical
puzzlement just as secular beliefs do, but it also generates
special philosophical questions that secular beliefs do not. This
engaging text encourages students and other readers to grapple with
these special questions of faith, to look at how they relate to
other issues in philosophy and in the empirical study of religion.
Equally accurate and insightful in its treatment of historical
authors such as Aquinas and Pascal as it is in treatment of such
contemporaries as Plantinga and Alston, Reason and Religious Faith
is the most up-to-date and balanced introduction to these issues
available. It marks an advance over earlier surveys in its
recognition of religious pluralism and the relevance of
non-Christian religious views. It is an ideal introduction to the
issues of religious epistemology for students of both religious
studies and philosophy.
