"Belief Seeks Understanding" and "Understanding Explains Belief"——Reflection on the Relation of Religion, Theology and Philosophy / Zhang Qingxiong.
// Journal of Huazhong Normal University（Humanities and Social Sciences) 2014, Vol 53, N.5 p53-p59 There are two opposing views concerning the relation of religion, theology and philosophy : one is, religious belief is above speculative reason, and therefore the rational philosophy should serve for rational theology; one is, reason is the final criteria for judging everything, and therefore the rational philosophy have a task of enlightening the religious beliefs. In my opinion the both views are biased. In our life-practice, belief is the starting point and the motivation power of practice, because people always believe something and then bring what they believe into action, and only when they encounter problems, the original faith will be questioned, and will be modified or form a new belief according to the new experience. Taking this life-practice viewpoint to look at the relationship between belief and understanding, we can’t simply say that “belief leads to understanding” or “understanding enlightens belief”. The correct expression should be that we are always in the process of “belief seeks understanding” and “understanding explains belief”
