The reasons for faith in the face of unbelief

Main Article Content

Juan Antonio Estrada Díaz

Abstract

Giving reasons for one's own faith, as opposed to blind faith, is one of the demands of enlightened culture. The history of Christianity is one of interaction and tension between reason and faith, based on the assumption that the creator is the saviour professed by the Christian religion. Hence, irrationality is opposed to faith, even though faith cannot be reduced to reason. The author analyses, from this point onwards, the limits of reason in the face of religious belief and what it contributes beyond philosophical criticism. The aim is to develop the reasonableness of faith and show its social and anthropological functions, as well as to distinguish it from scientific foundations and philosophical justification itself.
