Jonathan Edwards and the heart -- John Henry Newman and the "Grammar of Assent" -- William James, rationality, and religious belief -- Subjectivism and circularity -- The specter of relativism.
Between the opposing claims of reason and religious subjectivity may be a middle ground, William J. Wainwright argues. His book is a philosophical reflection on the role of emotion in guiding reason. There is evidence, he contends, that reason functions properly only when informed by a rightly disposed heart.
