Religious Certainty (1910)

By Francis J. McConnell

Book Overview

Religious Certainty is a book written by Francis John McConnell and first published in 1910. The book explores the concept of religious certainty and its importance in the lives of individuals and communities. McConnell argues that religious certainty is essential for individuals to have a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives, and for communities to have a shared sense of values and beliefs.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, McConnell examines the nature of religious certainty and its relationship to faith and doubt. He argues that while doubt is a natural part of the human experience, it is important for individuals to have a foundation of religious certainty in order to navigate the uncertainties of life.In the second part of the book, McConnell explores the historical and cultural roots of religious certainty. He traces the development of religious certainty in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and discusses the role of religious certainty in shaping the beliefs and practices of these traditions.Finally, in the third part of the book, McConnell examines the contemporary relevance of religious certainty. He argues that in an increasingly secular and pluralistic society, religious certainty is more important than ever for individuals and communities to maintain a sense of identity and purpose.Overall, Religious Certainty is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of an important concept in religious and philosophical thought. McConnell's writing is clear and accessible, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of faith and belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
