Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Faith and Reason
Donald A. Crosby · 2012
70/100
👍 Worth It
Donald Crosby makes a careful, well-argued case that faith and reason are not opponents but mutual dependencies — and the argument extends beyond religion into science and moral life, which gives the book wider applicability than most philosophy-of-religion texts. The secular religious naturalist framing will not satisfy orthodox Christian readers, but the American Journal of Theology and Philosophy endorsement confirms the scholarly rigor is genuine.
