Product Description
Review
"Those acquainted with Trigg′s other work will not be surprised or disappointed by three trade marks: energy, clarity and breadth. Throughout this fine book, Trigg defends a more robust concept of religious faith which takes truth claims seriously. And Trigg argues this point in the course of discussing a breadth of topics: political liberal theory, competing models of sociological explanation, radical feminism, philosophy of history, and revised religious conceptions of God." Charles Taliaferro <!––end––>
<!––end––>"This book is a welcome addition to the science/religion, objective/subjective, fatih/reason debates. Upper–division undergraduates through faculty." W. F. Desmond, Black Hawk College
"For the comprehensiveness of its coverage, the excitement of its argument, and the vigour of its conclusions, Trigg′s book is to be recommended." Ross Hutchinson
"I recommend this book very highly to specialists in the field." The Journal of Religion

Interesting stuff, but...
17 May 2000
Format:Paperback
While this book deals capably with the issues surrounding the relationship between reason and faith, there are several problems that prevent it from being a decisive work. Among them are Trigg's evident predisposition: he is determined to work within the confines of Christianity; while he says this is because it is familiar, it also seems that he works too hard at maintaining Christian belief in the face of his own arguments. This seems to weaken his position overall. Also, Trigg tends to assume too much about his reader, perhaps because the book is based on lectures delivered to people who, Trigg could reasonably assume, would understand every reference he makes to other philosophers. Overall, an intriguing book, but definitely not first-rate, and certainly not the sort of thing that works well in a classroom setting--we tried to use this in a class at college and it flopped.
