The book delves into the complexities of postmodern philosophy of religion, challenging the notion of human reason as universal and neutral. Merold Westphal asserts that philosophy is intrinsically linked to faith, emphasizing that theological encounters stem from the act of thinking. Drawing on the works of Spinoza, Kant, and Hegel, he highlights their conflicting theologies and questions the validity of claims to autonomous reason. Westphal advocates for a historical and phenomenological approach to understanding divine appeals, reflecting on the plural nature of human thought.
