Is it possible to think about religious beliefs philosophically?
Should religious beliefs be viewed as a flight from reason or as
capable of rational support? Can theologians learn from philosophers?
Can philosophers learn from theologians? Is it possible to be both a
good Christian and a good thinker? Can there be such a thing as
reasonable faith? This book is chiefly concerned with these questions
and others related to them. A collection of previously unpublished
papers written by the late Herbert McCabe O.P., it examines the nature
of religious belief, especially belief in God, with an eye on both
theological and philosophical arguments. Some thinkers have sought to
drive a wedge between philosophy and theology. Like Thomas Aquinas,
whose writings he especially admired, McCabe seeks to show how the two
can be systematically connected. Some religious truths, he argues, may
defy our understanding. But this does not mean that they cannot be
reasonably discussed.
