...the book constitutes "not merely a source of ideas...but a carrier of relationships."
Believers come in different flavors, but they have this in common: they are characterized by "life-shaping acceptance of a claim." Belief includes but is not limited to intellectual assent.
The Skeptical Believer lives in tension with his "Inner Atheist" (a phrase that Dan borrows from Richard Rodriguez). Ever since he was a small boy, Dan says, he has had to deal with an internal "little voice," sneering, cynical, raising doubts, making mock of faith.
God inhabits his creation and his creatures--from before time to after, throughout the world and the cosmos--and wherever he appears, he is telling a story...
I believe the only kind of story worth spending a life on is a love story... God loves Dan...God made Dan. God died for Dan. God defeated death for man. God desires to be known by Dan.
