The Logic of the Heart sets forth a case for the rationality of the Christian faith. To accomplish his aim, philosopher James Peters analyzes the thought of Augustine and Blaise Pascal, and he employs the writings of skeptic David Hume as a backdrop to this analysis to show the importance of harmonizing the head and the heart in matters of faith. Peters ultimately finds the balance between the Enlightenment's overemphasis on human autonomy and reason alone and postmodernism's espousal of the creation of reality and interpretive freedom.
