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.\" \u003ci\u003eCharles Taliaferro\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c!--end--\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c!--end--\u003e\"This book is a welcome addition to the science\/religion, objective\/subjective, fatih\/reason debates.

His publications include \u003ci\u003eRationality and Science\u003c\/i\u003e (Blackwell, 1993), \u003ci\u003eIdeas of Human Nature\u003c\/i\u003e (Blackwell, 1988), and \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Social Science\u003c\/i\u003e (Blackwell, 1985). He was the founding President of the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion, and in 1997 was the Stanton Lecturer in the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge. He is currently President of the Mind Association.  \u003ci\u003eRationality and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e deals with the perennial question of how far religious faith needs reason. Religion must claim truth, it is argued, and indeed needs the idea of a transcendent God. The book deals squarely with such problems as the existence of different religions, the relation between science and religion, and how religion should be treated in a pluralist society.  \u003cp\u003eThis is one of the most fundamental issues facing religion at the present time. Can religion still be the subject of rational discussion or must it be privatized and left to the personal decisions of individuals as to how they should live their lives? Can it make claims that demand universal attention?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a spirited contribution to a vital contemporary debate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on the prestigious Stanton lectures at the University of Cambridge, the volume is ideal for student and general readership, as well as for philosophers and theologians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989914108133,"sku":"NP9780631197485","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631197485.jpg?v=1761785888","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/rationality-and-religion-isbn-9780631197485","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
