Faith

In this Very Short Introduction, Roger Trigg explores the nature of faith, emphasizing that it involves reason and is essential to public discourse rather than merely a private belief. He situates contemporary debates in a historical context, particularly within Christianity, and highlights faith's connection to action and its significance for social life. Trigg argues that faith should not be marginalized or privatized, as it influences ideas about human behavior and has a rightful role in the public sphere within a democratic society.
