This volume provides an explanation and defense of a view of faith and reason found in the writings of Soren Kierkegaard and others that is often called fideism. C. Stephen Evans carefully distinguishes indefensible forms of fideism that involve a rejection of reason from a responsible form of fideism that requires reason to become self-critical. An understanding of the limits of reason requires an understanding of faith as not only above reason, as in Aquinas and Kant, but also against what is taken as rational by most human societies.
