Religious or Secular Faith?
A Podcast Discussion of Martin Hägglund and the Possibility of Christian Faith
In his book This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom, philosopher Martin Hägglund argues for a secular version of faith, one that takes finitude seriously. He claims that love and concern are part of a world in which loss is a possibility. Religious faith, he argues, protects us from the full effect of suffering, diminishing our ability to love. Becoming Christian is a weekly podcast exploring issues of faith and finitude. What does Christian faith look like in contemporary Western society? I hope you'll give it a listen!
