Synopsis

Faith and reason work together, not in opposition, to shape what we believe and how we live.

This book examines how authority has been used to ground faith—and why neither an infallible Church nor an infallible Book alone can sustain belief. It argues that revelation and inspiration are parts of one ongoing process, and that true authority in religion should educate and empower individuals to know for themselves. The discussion centers on Jesus Christ as a primary reference point for faith, while also acknowledging the value found in non-Christian wisdom and modern thought.

  • See how faith can be strengthened by reason, heart, and will working in harmony.
  • Explore why authority in religion should educate rather than command blind conformity.
  • Understand critiques of dogma and the limits of infallible institutions.
  • Learn how the example and records of Christ are treated as a key, but not sole, ground of belief.
Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, theology, and modern debates about faith and authority.
