The purpose of this little book is to view critically the dialectic between two disciplines: philosophy and theology. This book presents a point of departure for reflection for the reader. A long tradition of human reflection records the dialectical relationship between philosophy and theology. By reflecting upon human life and experience in the context of a philosophical and theological relationship humanity has learned something of the divine.
Those readers looking for an exhaustive treatment of the philosophical and theological disciplines will not find in this book. Those seeking to discount, debunk or replace theology with a secular philosophy will be disappointed. The aim of this book is not to debunk, defend or criticize either discipline. It is to examine the relationship between philosophy and theology and thereby to develop an understanding that gives meaning to human activity.
