The mind-bending question, If yes is the answer, what is the question? asks us: What are the central questions of our lives-the issues that challenge and move us to our deepest affirmations of heart and mind? It points the way, then, to the discovery-or perhaps the recovery-of a contemporary, liberating faith. It does so not by providing pre-packaged answers but by asking us to discern and decide what we are committed to and will live for-the issues of human existence that call forth our affirmation. Eight existential issues form the backbone of the book: — Are we incurably religious? — Does the question of God presuppose God? — Can we acknowledge evil and tragedy and not lose heart? — Do we have a human vocation? — Are ethical values rooted in reality? — Is help available when I need it? — Is religious community a religious necessity? — Does faith make sense?
