ABSTRACT
The issue of faith and reason arises from the claim that there are two kinds of truths: some truths are discoverable or comprehensible to human understanding and some are not. This claim is found at least in the three Abrahamic religions. The Christian theologian John Owen expresses the view that there are truths of faith and truths of reason in the following words:
And there are many things revealed unto faith that are above and beyond the comprehension of reason in the best and utmost of its proper exercise: such are the principal mysteries of Christian religion. And it is the height of folly to reject them, as some do, because they are not discernible and comprehensible by reason, seeing they are not contradictory thereunto.1
