Sentences with phrase «between abandoning their faith»

Not exact matches

Brunner's total position could be made much clearer and more consistent if he abandoned his strictures on philosophy as such and limited himself to distinguishing sharply between all thinking that is informed by faith and all thinking that is not informed by faith.

He distinguishes between early and late apostasy; between «shallow» apostasy that rejects a particular religion but retains a form of spirituality, and «deep» apostasy that concludes there is no deity at all; and between the «mild» apostasy of those who were only nominally religious in the first place and the «transforming» apostasy of those who had been seriously committed to the faith they later abandoned.
