Why Do the Clergy Avoid Discussion, and the Philosophers Discountenance It? (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents a meticulous examination of the various reasons why the clergy avoid religious discussion, offering a thorough analysis of the historical and sociological context surrounding these evasions. The author delves into six primary justifications for clerical reticence, including perceived religious truths as self-evident or sacred, fear of emboldening opponents, apprehension of personal attacks, lack of control over discussions, personal fear, and limited understanding of the art of debate. The book not only exposes the rationale behind clerical avoidance but also challenges the validity of these arguments, highlighting the essential role of discussion in fostering intellectual growth and promoting a deeper understanding of religious beliefs. Through meticulous research and incisive analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of religious discourse, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a more nuanced perspective on the nature of religious dialogue.
