The Condition of the Christian Philosopher

One of the most important texts illuminating the complex relationship between theology and philosophy. First published in 1963, this is an important text which illuminates the complex relationship between theology and philosophy. Mehl sympathetically examines the key aspects of the dialogue between Christianity and philosophy, commenting on the perceived tension between reason and faith, Christian dogmatics and metaphysical experience, and concluding that an understanding of Revelation cannot be submitted to any philosophical principle of interpretation. This text ultimately explores the role of the Christian philosopher in renewing and continuing fruitful philosophical reflection.
