Faith, Rationality and the Passions by Sarah Coakley

Faith, Rationality and the Passions by Sarah Coakley

Faith, Rationality and the Passions presents a fresh and original examination of the relation of religious faith, philosophical rationality and the passions. Contributions see leading scholars refute the widely-held belief that religious Enlightenment forced passion and reason apart.

"Essays creatively experiment with understanding the relationships among faith, rationality, and emotion.. the volume encourages intriguing perspectives on 'the passions', showing that engaging the emotions does not necessarily lead to destruction of reason or distortion of religious rationality."
—Mara Brecht, The Heythorp Journal LVIII (2017), pp. 816-860
