Whole Reason

I have dis­cussed this topic at length in many other posts, but have never gath­ered the mate­r­ial into one place.  Here are some wor­thy links, plus my thoughts.

Links on faith and reason:

• Faith and Rea­son: Friends or Foes? (Leader U)
  Both Ter­tul­lian and Augus­tine felt that we should use rea­son to come to
  con­clu­sions about faith — that is, though we can’t prove an arti­cle of
  faith, we can deter­mine sources that are trust­wor­thy, and then employ
  and test their ideas in prac­tice.  In addi­tion, Augus­tine said that
  rea­son, unaided by faith, is at best, incom­plete, and that faith
  actu­ally brings fur­ther knowl­edge, under­stand­ing, and clar­ity to
  rea­son. As I like to say -“Before faith comes, rea­son is king.  After faith comes, rea­son is servant.”
