Faith as Lived Protest

by Creators, Bruce Ley, Candice Bist

Faith is the lived protest against any form of living that treats existence as worthless.

The title for this collection - in progress - comes from the thought of Irish theologian/philosopher Peter Rollins.

He writes: “The person of faith is not known by which philosophical outlook she affirms, but rather by her commitment to life. She can take any stand or no stand concerning the meaning or absurdity of the universe, for faith does not operate at that level. The lived certainty of faith has nothing to do with belief or non belief in gods, natural law, or karmic returns. It has no regard for metaphysical systems or carefully constructed worldviews.

It instead describes a lived in protest against forms of life that treat existence as worthless.”
