The act of dedicated life is in relation to life as examined, but also in relation to an unknown future. This is the tension in which life always maintains its balance. It requires reason to analyze the situation and faith to act in terms of the unknown future. But we are also coming to see that the analysis of the situation rests in its turn on the acceptance of an organized body of assumptions as trustworthy for purposes of such analytical thinking. The origin of these assumptions becomes an important question. It is often said in current theological debate with secularists that the Christian has one set of assumptions based on revelation and the secular mind another set based on reason; and that therefore the rationalistic faith of the secularist is the source of the ills that afflict contemporary society. Several objectins may be raised to this mode of attack.' (p. 150 f.). 1st edition. Binding is Hardcover.
