“Objective" answer

p. 89 · Read in the full issue

Defending theology against a tide of contemporary philo sophical thinking, basically an tagonistic towards religious thought, is a thankless task.

Most would seek safety by ex pounding the belief that faith in God is the ultimate justification for being a Christian. Not so Dr. Frederick Ferre, who, in Language, Logic and God, tackles philosophers on their own ground and argues the “objective truth” of theology.

First published in 1962 and now re-issued as a Fontana paperback ($1.90) this is a book for the man who believes in his God and desires to prove his point without having to resort to explaining religion as a “matter of faith”.
