For many people “reasonable faith” is an oxymoron. In other words, faith is against or beyond reason. Yet “Reasonable Faith” is the name of our organisation and we maintain that it is not an oxymoron at all. On the 27th of November Brian Schroeder will explain what it means to him to embrace a reasonable faith.
Is there any connection between faith and reality or are they mutually exclusive concepts? Can people of intellect and reason coherently embrace faith, or is faith inherently illogical and inconsistent? For that matter, what actually is “faith”?
- Is faith believing something despite the evidence?
- Or believing something you know really isn’t true?
- Or, in fact, is faith essential to human existence and well-being?
And if we conclude that faith is relevant in our modern world, which faith should we choose, and how do we decide?
Brian currently works has been working in IT for many years. He has BSc and BA degrees from Adelaide University (Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics), and an MA in Theology.
