This volume presents a wide-ranging selection from the writings of
a leading contemporary philosophical theologian, Vincent Brummer.
In his many books and articles Brummer has demonstrated how the
tools of philosophical analysis are not only fruitful but also
essential for dealing with the central issues of systematic
theology. The title of this volume, Meaning and the Christian
Faith, highlights two characteristic themes that recur throughout
the many writings of Vincent Brummer. Much of his work has been
devoted to exploring the meaning of the Christian faith, and
especially of its central claim that God is a personal being whose
fellowship believers may enjoy. On the other hand, Brummer has also
shown that religious belief should not be understood as an
explanatory theory but rather as a way in which believers
understand the meaning of their lives and their experience of the
world and direct their lives accordingly. Thus in the Christian
tradition believers claim that their lives are meaningful because
they seek to attain ultimate happiness in the love of God. In the
introductory sections throughout this volume Vincent Brummer
describes how he came to pay attention to the various themes dealt
with in his writings and explains why he came to deal with them in
the ways he did.
