Product Description
by Trevor Hart (Author)
Faith Thinking provides a stimulating introduction to some vital questions of method in Christian theology. The book argues that faith commitments are necessary not in theology alone but in all serious acts of our knowing anything at all as human beings. Knowledge, in other words, is always bound to be the outcome of some process of "faith seeking understanding." Fresh consideration is given too in this book to relationships obtaining between the authoritative canon of Scripture, tradition, and "reason" in the theological task. Finally, in this new edition an important reevaluation is undertaken of the potentially explosive impact of "truth claims" in a post-truth world.
