It points the way, then, to the discovery-or perhaps the recovery-of a contemporary, liberating faith. It does so not by providing pre-packaged answers but by asking us to discern and decide what we are committed to and will live for-the issues of human existence that call forth our affirmation. Eight existential issues form the backbone of the book: - Are we incurably religious? - Does the question of God presuppose God? - Can we acknowledge evil and tragedy and not lose heart? - Do we have a human vocation? - Are ethical values rooted in reality? - Is help available when I need it? - Is religious community a religious necessity? - Does faith make sense?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788762284320,"sku":"9781951775377","price":12.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4d1b8c247df211beffc38d9d30a93783.webp?v=1780659419","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/if-yes-is-the-answer-what-is-the-question-eight-existential-issues-of-faith-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
