Synopsis

This book explores the nature of reason and its role in our understanding of God. The author contrasts the views of those who believe that reason should dictate our understanding of religion with those who believe that faith is paramount. The author argues that both reason and faith are necessary for a complete understanding of God, and that true Christian faith is not blind obedience but is based on a rational understanding of God's nature and ways. The author explores the faith of Abraham as an example of true Christian faith, and argues that Abraham's willingness to obey God's commands, even when they seemed unreasonable, was the result of a deep and abiding faith in God's goodness. The author also discusses the nature of Jesus Christ as the ultimate expression of God's love and mercy, and argues that true Christian faith is based on a personal relationship with Christ.
