This new collection of classic and contemporary readings explores questions about the nature, value, and rationality of faith. From the Ancient Greeks to present-day intellectuals, it reveals the variety of answers that thinkers and traditions have offered throughout the ages.

Selecting texts from a diverse range of traditions and perspectives, both secular and religious, it introduces the role and function that faith plays in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Organized thematically around four parts, this one-of-a-kind reader brings together a collection of profound writings from philosophy, religious studies, theology, classics and psychology. Each Part has its own specialized introduction and suggestions for further reading.

Excerpts are taken from core prayers, creeds, teachings and songs. Stretching beyond academic reflections, texts cover the treatment of faith in the media and literature. Noteworthy and hard-to-find selections include:

- The poetry and commentary of a celebrated mystic
