Download or read book Faith and Reason written by Neil Ormerod and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century witnessed considerable debate over the question of the possibility of a “Christian philosophy,” particularly in light of the revival of Thomism initiated by the papal encyclical Aeterni Patris. Two major figures of that revival were Etienne Gilson and Bernard Lonergan, both of whom read Aquinas in quite different ways. Nonetheless, this work brings these two authors into conversation on the possibility of a Christian philosophy. Gilson was a great proponent of the term, and while Lonergan does not use it, he does speak of “Christian realism.” Both display a lively interaction of faith and philosophical positions, while maintaining a clear distinction between philosophy and theology. Debates continue in the twenty-first century, but the context has shifted, with Radical Orthodoxy and new atheism standing at opposite ends of a spectrum of positions on the relationship between faith and reason. This work will demonstrate how the two thinkers, Gilson and Lonergan, may still contribute to a better understanding of this relationship and so shed light on contemporary issues.

  • Pages : 322 pages

Download or read book The Reason for God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-02-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.

  • ISBN : 0253031958
  • Pages : 307 pages

Download or read book Reasoning from Faith written by Justin Sands and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An enlightening commentary on Merold Westphal’s intricate thought and provokes new questions concerning the original project of his diverse philosophy.” —B. Keith Putt, editor of The Future of Continental Philosophy of Religion Merold Westphal is considered to be one of the preeminent Continental philosophers of religion. His articulation of faith as the task of a lifetime has become a touchstone in contemporary debates concerning faith’s relationship to reason. As Justin Sands explores his philosophy, he illuminates how Westphal’s concept of faith reveals the pastoral, theological intent behind his thinking. Sands sees Westphal’s philosophy as a powerful articulation of Protestant theology, but one that is in ecumenical dialogue with questions concerning apologetics and faith’s relationship to ethics and responsibility, a more Catholic point of view. By bringing out these features in Westphal’s philosophy, Sands intends to find core philosophical methodologies as well as a passable bridge for philosophers to cross over into theological discourses. “[An] engaging and illuminating work.” —William Desmond, David Cook Chair in Philosophy, Villanova University, Professor of Philosophy, Institute of Philosophy, KU Leuven, Belgium “A long overdue critical homage to one of the bravest religious thinkers of our generation.” —Richard Kearney, Charles B. Seelig Chair of Philosophy at Boston College

Book Rethinking Faith

    Book Details:
  • Author : Antonio Cimino
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2018-05-31
  • ISBN : 1501342126
  • Pages : 221 pages

Download or read book Rethinking Faith written by Antonio Cimino and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger has often been considered as the proponent of the end of metaphysics in the post-Hegelian philosophy, due to his persistent attempts to overcome the onto-theological framework of traditional metaphysics. Yet, this dismissal of metaphysical, theological, and religious motives is deeply ambiguous since new forms of metaphysical and religious experience re-emerge in his philosophical works. Heidegger shares this ambiguous relation to the notions of faith and religion with authors such as Nietzsche and Wittgenstein whose works are also marked by a critique of metaphysics and by a characteristic rethinking of the role of faith and religion. In fact, all three still remain, among other things, reference points for contemporary philosophical debates relating to the phenomenon of religion and faith. Rethinking Faith explores how the phenomena of religion and faith are present in the works of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein, and how these phenomena are brought into play in their discussion of the classical metaphysical motives they criticize.

Book Fundamental Theology

  • Author : Guy Mansini
  • Publisher : CUA Press
  • Release : 2018-01-12
  • ISBN : 0813229855
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book Fundamental Theology written by Guy Mansini and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamental Theology is fundamental because it is about how we see the mysteries of God, his Christ, the Church, and the sacraments of the Church. It is about how these things show themselves-how God shows them-to the eyes of faith. If Christ and the Church are things shown, fundamental theology is about the very showing itself. Talking about the showing poses the risk, however, of losing sight of the things shown and drifting off into abstractions. By continually referring back to the things shown, this book will answer many of the questions that arise when we ask about the nature and necessity of Scripture and Tradition, Magisterium and Dogma, Faith and its praeambula. In this second volume of the Sacra Doctrina series, Fr. Guy Mansini takes the reader on a tour through the essence and meaning of Catholic fundamental theology. This title will serve as an excellent textbook for upper level undergraduate, graduate, and seminary students. Book jacket.

Book Open to Reason

  • Author : Souleymane Bachir Diagne
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2018-08-21
  • ISBN : 0231546173
  • Pages : 108 pages

Download or read book Open to Reason written by Souleymane Bachir Diagne and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a Muslim philosopher, or to philosophize in Islam? In Open to Reason, Souleymane Bachir Diagne traces Muslims’ intellectual and spiritual history of examining and questioning beliefs and arguments to show how Islamic philosophy has always engaged critically with texts and ideas both inside and outside its tradition. Through a rich reading of classical and modern Muslim philosophers, Diagne explains the long history of philosophy in the Islamic world and its relevance to crucial issues of our own time. From classical figures such as Avicenna to the twentieth-century Sufi master and teacher of tolerance Tierno Bokar Salif Tall, Diagne explores how Islamic thinkers have asked and answered such questions as Does religion need philosophy? How can religion coexist with rationalism? What does it mean to interpret a religious narrative philosophically? What does it mean to be human, and what are human beings’ responsibilities to nature? Is there such a thing as an “Islamic” state, or should Muslims reinvent political institutions that suit their own times? Diagne shows that philosophizing in Islam in its many forms throughout the centuries has meant a commitment to forward and open thinking. A remarkable history of philosophy in the Islamic world as well as a work of philosophy in its own right, this book seeks to contribute to the revival of a spirit of pluralism rooted in Muslim intellectual and spiritual traditions.
