Does it make sense - can it make sense - for someone who appreciates the        explanatory power of modern science to continue believing in a traditional religious        account of the ultimate nature and purpose of our universe? This book is intended        for those who care about that question and are dissatisfied with the rigid        dichotomies that dominate the contemporary debate. The extremists won't be        interested - those who assume that science answers all the questions that matter,        and those socertain of their religious faith that dialogue with science, philosophy,        or other faith traditions seems unnecessary. But far more people today recognize        that matters of faith are complex, that doubt is endemic to belief, and that        dialogue is indispensable in our day.In eight probing chapters, the authors of The        Predicament of Belief consider the most urgent reasons for doubting that religious        claims - in particular, those embedded in the Christian tradition - are likely to be        true. They develop a version of Christian faith that preserves the tradition's core        insights but also gauges the varying degrees of certainty with which those insights        can still be affirmed. Along the way, they address such questions as the ultimate        origin of the universe,the existence of innocent suffering, the challenge of        religious plurality, and how to understand the extraordinary claim that an ancient        teacher rose from the dead. They end with a discussion of what their conclusions        imply about the present state and future structure of churches and other communities        inwhich Christian affirmations are made.
