A popular American Buddhist teacher explores the creative relationship between faith and doubt, knowing and not-knowing, and shows how an awakened life results from living from the place in between. Faith is a thorny subject these days. Its negative expressions cause many to dismiss it out of hand--but Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel urges us to reconsider, for faith is really nothing but our natural proclivity to find certainty in a world where certainty is hard to come by. And if we look carefully, we’ll discover that the faith impulse isn’t separate from reason at all—faith and logic in fact work together in a playful and dynamic relationship that reveals the profoundest kind of truth—a truth beyond the limits of “is” and “is not.” Using the traditional Buddhist teachings on dependent arising, Elizabeth leads us on an experiential journey to discover the essential interdependence of everything--and through that thrilling discovery to open ourselves to the whole wonderful range of human experience.

This book explores the most basic logical structure of reality, deriving from the most certain starting point: Descartes' cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am). From that impetus, the nature of reality is discovered to contain a perfectly consistent and surprisingly revealing theological ontology, where built into the nature of reality are simple and direct logical findings revealing that reality can only exist if it is created by an all-powerful Spirit, where simple deductions lead to the discovery that the Spirit is the Biblical God (YHVH). From this, previously undiscussed logical findings show us that the creator-God will only create realities that will inevitably, for previously unseen reasons, internally develop into being contaminated with nothingness (in Reformed theology, 'nothingness' is the word used to describe sin), wherein a simple but not previously discussed solution to the long-standing problem of evil is arrived at. From there, through more simple deductions that, again, apparently have not been discussed previously, it is found that anything that exists, any entities or realities of any sort, can only be the creation of a creator-God, that specifically has the name YHVH, I AM that I AM, that elementary logic reveals can only be an infinite sacrifice of infinite grace. Also, the book directly attacks the contradictory philosophy of atheism, with novel findings that reveal that the entire philosophy of atheism is based in obvious, but previously undiscussed logical contradictions. Also, what can be called 'nonphysical Calvinism' is discussed in detail, which could be the most direct way to experience and commune with Christ in ceaseless prayer and meditation. Along the way, this book explores the concept of Christian faith, finding that it is a hugely misunderstood topic, and it is readily found that the Biblical definition of faith indicates that faith is a constant, direct communication with the Creator-Logos implanted (James 1:21) into humans.

Behold, I give you faith! Now, you have the ability to move and live and breathe in confidence; that everything you touch will work; all that you think about will become a positive influence and change lives; you will even become wealthy in the process. It would be absolutely wonderful for God to make that pronouncement to us and it becomes so. Fortunately and to what may be the ultimate paradox, the kind of faith we seek will only come by trials, perseverance, and yes, it is a journey that we all must take. Faith increases as it is used and grows exponentially when it is tested. The true depth of these "tests of faith" does not come because you decide to seek or pursue God more; these tests come because "faith" is alive and demands to be fed, even challenged. Admittedly, faith does appear to be somewhat illogical, but most goals or feats of greatness are often met with resistance; in the end, when the goal has been met, the feat obtained and the journey completed, it is only then, in clear hindsight that you realize that this was a test of your faith; subsequently, as you reflect on your travels, you think about all the things that you would have changed or done differently, only to later realize that if things were different you may not be who you are. The Logic of Faith is a reasonable a step along the path of your journey; through personal experiences, some good, some not so good, I share my experiences and trials of faith, so you can be enlightened and encouraged as you continue on your journey of understanding. Once you embrace and unite with your faith, the world will truly become your oyster and it will not matter where you are or what you are facing. My wife, Phyllis and our two sons, Ryan and Corban, are enjoying our journey of faith together; a journey that currently has us residing in Katy, Texas and a faith that will allow us to continue to move and live and have our being in Him.

In March 2012 a small consultation convened on the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary, where James E. Loder Jr. had served for forty years as the Mary D. Synnott Professor of the Philosophy of Christian Education. Members from the Child Theology Movement had begun to read Loder's work and they wanted to go further. So they invited former students of Loder's to meet with them for conversations about things that really mattered to them and to Loder: human beings (and especially children), the church's witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and discerning the work of Spiritus Creator in the postmodern world. The conversations proved rich and rewarding and some would even say they took on a life of their own - serious scholarship set to the music of the Spirit's communion-creating artistry forming new relationships, inspiring new ideas, and sustaining all of it amid much laughter, joy, and hope. These essays, taken from the papers delivered at the consultation, are offered as a means of extending that conversation inspired by Loder's interdisciplinary practical theological science and his discernment of the

The vast majority of human beings believe in a higher power, but few can clearly and articulately explain what they believe in or why. When it comes to explaining one's beliefs, most rely on intuition or personal experience, relegating faith to the realm of subjective judgment as opposed to objective truth. In Going Deeper, Leo Severino presents a systematic, easy-to-understand, journey that grounds the certitude of faith in logic and reason. The author maps out a train of thought that begins with everyday events, reasons its way through proofs of the existence of God, then goes on to describe the deep purpose inscribed in every human heart. For those not well versed in theology or philosophy, this book is an accessible way to tether matters of faith to demonstrable premises and logical conclusions. For those with deeper theological formation, this book will provide fresh perspectives on the classic arguments that demonstrate how faith and reason go hand in hand.

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of ad 381 was a key statement in the context of the theological controversies and confessional atmosphere of the fourth-century church. Alexander Irving explores Christian belief about God, creation and redemption, as it is expressed in the Creed. He thereby contributes to the continuing task of the church's self-examination of its talk about God. Irving shows the importance of tradition and the intrinsic relationship between thought in the church today and thought in the church across time. He sets the Creed in its historical and theological contexts, and connects its theology to some areas of contemporary theological inquiry. The Creed sets out the basic parameters of Christian belief. While the specifics of what is believed within those parameters are not determined, there is an internal logic to the Creed's presentation of the Christian faith. The contrast between God's internal and external relations is the theological motif that gives particular shape to the Creed, which expresses an expansive vision of the generosity of God, with his relation to creation grounded in his being as love.

The founder of HowStuffWorks.com uses objectivity, logic, and critical thinking to explore the question of God’s reality in an honest way. Does God exist? Using an intellectually rigorous, scientific approach, Marshall Brain—the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and author of the How Stuff Works series—sets out to resolve the eternal debate once and for all. With a compelling sense of curiosity, he breaks down mankind’s search for a higher power, tackling such quandaries as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is God doing and why? How does God interact with humanity? And ultimately, how can humans know with certainty whether God is real or imaginary? How “God” Works is an enlightening journey in critical thinking that challenges readers to boldly approach the subject of personal faith and put aside intuition in favor of objectivity and logic. “Takes readers on a journey of critical thinking . . . it is the combination of all the arguments made and the approach to those arguments that make this book so convincing.” —Skeptic Ink “Brain subjects Christianity to withering analysis . . . He is precise and convincing in his analytical process.” —TheHumanist.com

Now in a Second Edition with expanded content, No Santa, No Tooth Fairy, No God—The Need To Challenge Faith In America, is even more powerful in presenting its case. It certainly takes a very unique look at the community of non-believers in the U.S., the immense base of logic which supports their doubts, and the climate of injustice which virtually demands some form of activism in response. Throughout the book, the author skillfully employs techniques to help readers—both the faithful and faithless—see issues from fresh perspectives, yielding new insights. Educated in psychology, formal logic, and communications, the author shows deftness in exploring wide-ranging issues related to religion, science, history, and constitutional law, ultimately exposing the soft underbelly of the spiritual world and the need to openly challenge religious faith until a more just America can embrace non-believers.Chapters include “Mad As Hell . . .”, “Some Basic Terminology”, “No Santa, No Tooth Fairy, No God”, “The Nature Of God”, “In The Beginning”, “The Bible”, “Morality, Ethics, and the Separation of Church and State”, “What Does A Guy Have To Do?—A Tale Of Irony”, “Faith And Respect”, “Advocating For The Rights Of Non-Believers”, and “Commentary, Q & A—Exploring The Fine Points”. With much new content, the Second Edition really packs an intellectual punch between its covers, giving both sides of the cultural divide a great deal to contemplate.
