Faith and Logic

Basil Mitchell's Faith and Logic addresses philosophical questions about the rationality of religious belief, arguing that faith can be engaged with using logical and evidential resources.

The book gathers arguments and discussions characteristic of mid-20th-century philosophical theology and draws on contributions from scholars connected to the Oxford University Socratic Club.

Mitchell examines objections to religious belief and proposes ways believers might respond coherently within a philosophical framework.

The work contributed to postwar debates on faith, reason, and evidence, influencing subsequent discussions in philosophy of religion.

It is noted for its careful analytic approach to issues often treated polemically.
