Description: This innovative critical analysis of religious liberalism probes the dynamic tensions of a theology that is committed to individual freedom and autonomy on the one hand and a greater sense of community on the other. Much more than a primer, Faith Without Certainty lays out the basic characteristics of liberal theology, delving into historical and philosophical sources as well as social and intellectual roots. Clear-eyed but ultimately hopeful, Rasor explores the ambiguous and creative nature of liberal theology today. Ideal for readers who want a better understanding of liberal theology, a religious tradition that is rooted not in authority but in one's own experience and conscience.

Review Summary: Lack of clarity
Date: 2007-04-03
Details: The book was disappointing to me. It is written with an opaque academic tone. It seemed to consist of endless streams of summaries of what other philosophers have thought, with very little thought on the part of the author.
