Belief/Faith in God and Other God-Relationships
2021This chapter has as its subject relationships to God, or God-relationships, that are recognized or allowed in the Christian tradition. Faith, or belief/faith, in God forms a relationship to God defined by belief. Also, though, the tradition recognizes God-relationships that do not emphasize belief. In this regard the thinking of Jacob Boehme and Johann

Abstract In the last chapter, I pointed out that the objections against religious belief made by Freud and Marx amount to the de jure objection that religious belief lacks warrant. By way of response, I offer in this chapter a model (the Aquinas/Calvin model), which illustrates a way in which theistic belief could have warrant.
