Religious Certainty (1910)

Religious Certainty is a book written by Francis John McConnell and published in 1910. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of religious certainty and its role in shaping human beliefs and actions. McConnell argues that religious certainty is a fundamental human need, and that it is necessary for individuals to have a clear and unshakable belief in order to navigate the complexities of life.The author draws upon a variety of religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, to explore the different ways in which religious certainty is expressed and experienced. He also examines the ways in which religious certainty can be challenged or undermined, both from within and outside of religious communities.Throughout the book, McConnell emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and rational inquiry in the pursuit of religious certainty. He argues that blind faith and dogmatism are ultimately harmful to individuals and to society as a whole, and that a healthy skepticism and openness to new ideas is essential for maintaining a vibrant and meaningful religious life.Overall, Religious Certainty is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience. It offers insights and perspectives that are still relevant and valuable today, more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
