Faith and Philosophy: A Study of Their Interrelationship

SECOND EDITIONIn an "informational style," as one reader put it, the book describes the history of the often complementary but at times difficult relationship between philosophical thought and religious faith. Using Church history as a backdrop, it traces this relationship from the days of the early Greek philosophers onwards. The book explains why certain people, including various philosophers and psychologists, have experienced a demise in faith and gives logical arguments to counter their criticisms of religious belief. Among the methods to answer atheistic derisions, the book discusses the need for worldwide religions to become more tolerant of each other and suggests ways to foster ecumenism among Christians.
