The Predicament of Belief
Book •
The Predicament of Belief (coauthored by Philip Clayton and Steven Knapp) examines how contemporary persons live with belief and doubt, arguing that much religious faith is existentially charged rather than demonstratively certain.
The book introduces a six-level structure for how beliefs operate, distinguishing between demonstrable truths and personal, community-shaped convictions.
It foregrounds the 'secular believer' who carries doubt as intrinsic to faith rather than external to it.
The authors engage philosophy, theology, and science to show how belief can be held responsibly in an age shaped by Enlightenment epistemologies.
The work aims to reshape theological method toward questions Christians cannot avoid rather than fixed doctrinal answers.
