Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age
Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age
In his book A Secular Age, Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor traces changes in religious belief from the late Middle Ages to the present. Taking the year 1500 as a baseline, he argues that at this date belief in God was a given, something obvious and unquestionable. Today religious belief is, in his words, "optional" - a choice - made in the face of a bewildering variety of possibilities. In between lies a journey through doubt - a journey made by an entire civilization but also by each individual who opts for some religious conviction. Roger Lundin's book Believing Again: Doubt and Faith in a Secular Age follows this journey as it has unfolded in modern literature. Lundin is a literary scholar and professor at Wheaton College in Chicago. He shares his thoughts with David Cayley in the final episode of After Atheism: New Perspectives on God and Religion.
