Rationality & Religious Commitment shows how religious commitment can be rational & describes the place of faith in the postmodern world. It portrays religious commitment as far more than accepting doctrines--it is viewed as a kind of life not just as an embrace of tenets. Faith is conceived as a unique attitude. It is irreducible to belief but closely connected with both belief & conduct & intimately related to lifes moral political & aesthetic

Dimensions. Part One presents an account of rationality as a status attainable by mature religious people--even those with a strongly scientific habit of mind. Part Two describes what it means to have faith how faith is connected with attitudes emotions & conduct & how religious experience may support it. Part Three turns to religious commitment & moral obligation & to the relation between religion & politics. It shows how ethics & religion can be mutually supportive even though ethics provides standards of conduct independently of theology. It also depicts the integrated life possible for the religiously committed--a life with rewarding interactions between faith & reason religion & science & the aesthetic & the spiritual. The book concludes with two major accounts. One explains how moral wrongs & natural disasters are possible under God conceived as having the knowledge power & goodness that make such evils so difficult to underst&. The other account explores the nature of persons human & divine & yields a conception that can sustain a rational theistic worldview even in the contemporary scientific age.
