1. Dynamics Of Faith
Faith is presented as an existential state of being ultimately concerned — an act of ultimate acceptance that orients a person’s whole life rather than a set of propositions — and is characterized by risk, passion, and the interplay of conviction and doubt. The book analyzes how true faith withstands and includes doubt, contrasts lived faith with dogmatic belief systems, and considers the symbolic and theological language by which ultimate concerns are expressed. It also explores faith’s psychological and cultural dynamics, its relation to reason and ethics, and the courage required to affirm meaning and identity in the face of existential anxiety.
