Pastor Bob at Ponderings on a Faith Journey writes about an odd paradox - Faith Without Understanding. We here on this side of the water (I count Canada as well) have faith, but often not enough knowledge about our faith. In Europe, people may have knowledge about faith (from religion classes in school), but no faith!
It isn't a particularly new phenomenon, either. Just think of the days before the printing press - everyone was dutifully religious, but nobody had a bible; and the bible was usually only written in Latin.
But if the truth will set us free, it is incumbent for us to ask, as Pilate did (but not rhetorically like Pilate did):
What is truth?

Thanks for the visit to my site and the good comments. Hebrews talks about moving from milk to meat -- and Anselm from faith to understanding. I think we're too content with ignorant bliss. What we don't know won't hurt us! Or so it seems.
