Repairing Eden

How do Christians keep from losing their faith when they discover that other faiths are as justified as theirs? Mark McLeod-Harrison draws from his training in analytic philosophy and his practice of Christian mysticism to provide a compelling analysis and unique solution to the problem religious diversity poses for Christians who want to take their faith as the one true description of their relationship to ultimate reality. In Repairing Eden, McLeod-Harrison describes this dilemma as an existential problem internal to the Christian faith and the witness of the Scripture about self-worshiping idolatry. He analyzes both Christian humility and Christian mysticism as a joint path toward a kind of metaphysical certainty - the mystic path, the path of bearing one's own cross, can provide a means of more deeply knowing God. Repairing Eden weaves theology, philosophy, and pastoral concerns into a spiritual-philosophical solution to a deeply important challenge to Christian faith.
