Are We through with Religious Faith?

The question which Professor Cook raises may seem to be purely rhetorical, but whoever looks upon religious faith as touching the whole range of human affairs will not so regard it. A diagnosis of the spiritual health of the country shows the intense conflict now going on between reliance upon force and reliance upon love. In order to have confidence in the teaching of Jesus one needs to have confidence in the sanity of his outlook upon life and the validity of his experience of being one with the Father. Unless we can feel that love is more than a sign of weakness we are not likely to hold to the Christian faith. Is not one aspect of the confession of our loyalty to Jesus a confession of deep religious faith in the God whom he reveals?
