Product Description:
Judging by today's bestseller lists, one would think that religion is either irrational or extreme. What's missing is a genuine debate between the atheists and fanatics; someone to point out that religion has value in the modern world. Why Faith Matters is an articulate defense of religion in America. It makes the case for faith and shows its relationship to history and science. Refuting the cold reason of the atheists and the hatred of the fanatics with a vision of religion informed by faith, love, and understanding, Rabbi David J. Wolpe follows in a literary tradition that stretches from Cardinal Newman to C. S. Lewis to Thomas Merton—all individuals of faith who brought religion and culture together in their own works. Drawing on the personal and powerful story of his battle with cancer, Wolpe offers a moving statement in support of religion today. In a poignant response to the new atheists, Wolpe takes readers through the origins and nature of faith, the role of the Bible in modern life, and the compatibility of God and science. He concludes with a powerful argument for the place of God, faith, and religion in today's world.

- Inspirational
Why Faith Matters This book is a very inspirational and eccumenical work which reconciles faith with all the historical, archeological and scientific discoveries that have been made since the Bible was created.
Rating: - Why Does Faith Matter? It Provides Meaning.
Rabbi David J. Wolpe's book, Why Faith Matters, came to my attention as I prepared to teach a class on Hebrews 11. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Wolpe is more philosophical and focuses on the quest for meaning. "Faith believes in the legitimacy of asking 'why'--that the very question is an animating force in life" (p. 193). While I am interested in the question and believe that faith is a journey, the truth of faith begins with its ... Read More
Rating: - A great, wise book for people of all faiths...and none
Many readers will check out this book as a new entry in the "new atheism" debates, and many of the comments will reflect where the reader already comes down on those questions. Faithful people will see the book as deeply humane, wise and forward-looking; others will say it's inadequate, yet another sorry attempt to make people believe in God, etc.
Sigh. I suppose if you're into those questions, this book will give you ammo, either way.
In my opinion, there is MUCH more to ... Read More
Rating: - Oh My God. This is a good book.
You are lying to yourself if you say you are not curious about the existence of God and your place in the universe. Maybe it's not front and center. How could that be when you're worried that Starbucks is going to close down in your neighborhood and you still haven't hooked up the digital-to-analog converter box? But those less urgent concerns do emerge at the oddest times.
What's it all about? You must have at least a little curiosity about the Big Picture.
You can pretend ... Read More
Rating:
- Some truth but incomplete
Wolpe's argument for the value of faith is twofold: 1.religion is true, 2. religion is useful. His arguments for the first are extremely weak. The canard of "science hasn't disproved God" is tired and absurd. No, science cannot disprove God, but so what? Neither can science disprove fairies, but rational people don't believe in them because there is no evidence for their existence. He quotes Stephen Jay Gould as saying there is no conflict b/w religion and science. Gould was a brilliant man, but he was just ... Read More
