Contents Introduction -- The Rationality of Faith -- The Undecidability of Pascal's Wager -- Is it Rational to Believe in Miracles? -- Inconsistencies in the Christian Tradition I: An Omnibenevolent God who Allows Evil -- Inconsistencies in the Christian Tradition II: The Paradoxes of Omnipotence and Omniscience.
Summary Annotation This book stands in the tradition of philosophers who advance the rationality of faith. Yet the book goes beyond their accounts, for it not only defends the view that faith can be termed rational, but it also considers the different senses in which faith can be termed rational. While this book advances the idea that faith as a general category can be termed rational, it does not investigate in a detailed way whether there are arguments for the rationality of particular faiths which would go beyond the arguments for the rationality of faith as a general category. Besides discussing whether betting on God in Pascals wager and believing in miracles are forms of the rationality of faith, I will provide unique solutions to the problem of evil and the paradoxes of omnipotence and omniscience.
