Jerry Gill on Faith as a Leap
Faith in Dialogue: A Christian Apologetic (Word Publishing: September 1985), 12.
On the other hand, there are those who disdain the apologetic task
altogether, either because they believe that Christian faith is
entirely a gift of God or because they advocate religious commitment as
a "leap of faith". Such thinkers would quote Pascal: "The heart has
reasons that reason knows not of". What those who take this approach
overlook is that it proves too much. If Christian belief is justified
by faith alone, then so is every other form of belief on the commitment
market, since the devotees of each are equally convinced they are
right. Besides, it is important to notice that Pascal still called the
reasons which are not known by reason, "reasons".
