Radical Faith Exploring fundamentals of faith in a changed world
We
are all as Christians supposed to strive to do God's will. It is
assumed that we can know what that is, that we can sort it out
from all the other conflicting forces which pressure our lives. In Can
We Know God's Will?two independent contributors argue
the case - one that there is a window into the non-material, the
other that we know God's will only by immersing ourselves in the
universe.
There
is a strong strain of thought among Christians which claims that
faith informs reason. Another strain demands that reason inform
faith; that unthinking faith is a grave error. The latter takes
some of its emphases from Positivism,
though without going to extremes in resting on evidence.
Beyond
the Fringe For
those who are open to venturing beyond traditional Christian
teaching, some challenging viewpoints are presented here.
u The
"Left Behind" series of sixteen novels by Jerry Jenkins and
Tim LaHaye have been enormously successful, earning large sums for
their authors. But, as Frank Schaeffer suggests in Spaceship
Jesus, they may well be stoking a paranoid streak in people
which is dangerous for us all.
