It is a common theme of atheist critics that Christian belief is irrational. In making this claim, however, they routinely assume that what Christians mean by belief is essentially the same as what scientists and philosophers mean by it, i.e. a kind of objective knowledge claim. In a religious context, however, as in everyday language, beliefs more commonly refer to more subjective attitudes of trust and commitment, and while these may well rely on knowledge claims they don't necessarily do so. Varying from one person to another, religious beliefs may or may not be irrational, and even if irrational they may still be quite reasonable, all things considered, as practical choices and commitments. In this book, written for the general reader, John Hendry explores the variety of ways in which Christians believe and the rationality and reasonableness of the resulting beliefs, as well as of atheist alternatives. Beginning with introductions to philosophical reasoning, the meanings of belief and the varieties of Christian believing, the book includes rational comparisons of theism, atheism and physicalism and rational analyses of both literal and more allegorical understandings of Christian doctrine, with a particular focus on claims of revelation. It concludes that while Christian beliefs are not necessarily irrational they tend in practice to be so. There is a tension between rationality and Christian belief that is hard to avoid. There are contexts, however, in which we quite reasonably set aside specific demands of rationality without compromising our rationality more generally, and religion, it is argued, is one of these contexts. Christianity is at root a choice as to how to live one's life, what to believe in and what to commit to, and whilst it is not everybody's choice it would seem on the whole to be a perfectly reasonable one.

For much of the modern period, theologians and philosophers of religion have struggled with the problem of proving that it is rational to believe in God. Drawing on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Theological Philosophy seeks to overturn the longstanding problem of proving faith's rationality and to establish instead that rationality requires to be explained by appeals to faith. Building on a constructive argument developed in a companion book, Rationality as Virtue, Lydia Schumacher advances the conclusion that belief in the God of Christian faith provides an exceptionally robust rationale for rationality and is as such intrinsically rational. At the same time, Schumacher overcomes a common tendency to separate spiritual from ordinary life, and construes the latter as the locus of proof for the rationality of Christian faith.

In a reissue of a masterly examination of both the Christian doctrine of Atonement and the nature and working of theological language, Professor Gunton reassesses the doctrine and the language in which it is expressed in the light of modern scholarly developments. He explains how the traditional metaphors of Atonement, drawn from the battlefield, the altar and the law courts, all express something of the meaning of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus-and examines their bearing on human life in today's world.

This book is unified by three broad concerns: the rationality of belief in God, the relation between religion and morality, and the explication of the concept of God. The essays are, however, marked by diversity. Some focus on historical figures, such as Aquinas and Locke; others bring recent epistemological and metaphysical developments to bear on problems of religious belief. Some of the papers explore neglected issues central to religious practice, such as the question of how total devotion to God can permit other deep commitments; others apply philosophical distinctions from within a religious tradition, for example, in setting out a Christian approach to the problem of evil.

Excerpt from Christian Doctrine Harmonized: And Its Rationality Vindicated If, as we have seen, the results of the atoning work of Christ are primarily manifested and, in a sense, summed up and completed in his person, and thus is exhibited the only possible way in which human nature is to be restored, and is furnished the absolute and solitary method now remaining for the realization of the human ideal, - the process must be repeated in each individual who is or can be grafted into this new stock, and thus connected with the fount of the regenerative forces. Man's heart, mind, and body are to be reached, and thus his will, the focussing of the three, to be purified and strengthened, and his perfection ensured. And the organism, - the totality, - the Church, is to exhibit the same process, whether or not it be identical with the primal human stock, or a providential election from it. The story of Jesus Christ must then be repeated in every Christian disciple, and be capable of description, as was his.
