Abstract

Two staples of humanity’s quest for understanding, faith, and reason have for centuries inquired of one another and of all who care to listen about how they connected, where they diverged, and what role they played in the quest for truth. The article traces the historical evolution of the tension between faith and reason and assesses it across different schools of philosophy and Christianity before exploring modern interpretations that aim to reconcile these seemingly discordant worldviews. Thus, through this investigation it is clear that faith and reason are not oppositional forces but rather pathways to truth that intersect.
