Introduction: need and reason -- Existential needs -- The existential argument for believing in God -- Objection one: the existential argument does not guarantee truth -- Objection two: the existential argument justifies belief in any kind of god -- Objection three: not everyone feels existential needs -- Objection four: existential needs can be satisfied without faith -- Faith and emotion -- Pursuing faith.
Philosopher Clifford Williams puts forth an argument as to why certain needs, desires and emotions have a legitimate place in drawing people into faith in God. Addressing the strongest objections to these types of reasons, he shows how the personal and experiential aspects of belief play an important part in coming to faith and in remaining a believing person.
