Beskrivning

Australian theologian Scott Cowdell explores how 'having faith' has changed under the influence of modernity and post-modernity in the West. Following the understanding of faith typical of Saint Paul, the Fathers and the medieval monastic theologians, faith is returned from pious sentimentality and arid philosophy of religion to the realm of 'participating knowing', 'paradigmatic imagination', and personal transformation where it belongs as a 'form of life', shaped by encounter with Jesus Christ and worked out through the Eucharistic community.

Recensioner i media

'...Scott Cowdell's Abiding Faith will appeal to those who want a real theological challenge. A major strength is that it is extremely wide-ranging, referring to numerous theologians and philosophers and bringing an exhilarating coherent perspective to theological development over the centuries...' Richard Warden, Modern Believing, Issue 54-2, April 2013
