Reviews for Rationality and Religion: Does Faith Need Reason?
"Those acquainted with Trigg's other work will not be surprised or disappointed by three trade marks: energy, clarity and breadth. Throughout this fine book, Trigg defends a more robust concept of religious faith which takes truth claims seriously. And Trigg argues this point in the course of discussing a breadth of topics: political liberal theory, competing models of sociological explanation, radical feminism, philosophy of history, and revised religious conceptions of God." Charles Taliaferro "This book is a welcome addition to the science/religion, objective/subjective, fatih/reason debates. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." W. F. Desmond, Black Hawk College "For the comprehensiveness of its coverage, the excitement of its argument, and the vigour of its conclusions, Trigg's book is to be recommended." Ross Hutchinson "I recommend this book very highly to specialists in the field." The Journal of Religion
