Description
Denys Turner's Faith Seeking offers striking and original observations on the relationship between head and heart. Originally given as talks to diverse audiences, this book attempts to reconcile the seemingly conflicting outlooks of intellect and emotion.
The author's fundamental theme is that the mind can love just as the heart needs understanding, and that a proper use of intellect is a way of being truly alive. Turner's distinctive contribution to theology and other subjects is characterized by an incisive iconoclasm and a desire to get at the truth.
