| Summary: | This book, which is based on a doctoral thesis supervised by Richard Swinburne, is explicitly a discussion of Christian faith, and moreover Christian faith conceived as belief in and adherence to the Christian religion, ‘not just believing the contents of the message to be true, but also holding that the message comes from God, and accepting it on account of its coming from God’. This message is and must be propositional., What follows falls into two very distinct parts. The first is historical, outlining ideas about faith from Clement of Alexandria to Tillotson and Locke. (Lamont here shows admiration not only for Aquinas—he is a Roman Catholic himself—but also for the great seventeenth-century Calvinist divine John Owen. |
