Faith and humility /
Kvanvig, Jonathan L.
Faith and humility / Jonathan L. Kvanvig. - New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2018 - viii, 219 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book is devoted to articulating the connections between the nature and value of faith and humility. The goal is to understand faith and humility in a way that does not discriminate between religious and mundane contexts, between sacred and secular. It arises from a conviction that these two character traits are important to a flourishing life, and intimately related to each other in such a way that the presence of one demands the presence of the other. In particular, the book defends the claim that each of these virtues provides a necessary, compensating balance to the potential downside of the other virtue. The result of such an inquiry, if that inquiry is successful, will require a re-orienting of discussions surrounding faith, including debates about the relationship between faith and reason. --Amazon.co.uk
