An Anchor and a Vehicle

Abstract

This editorial was first published in Dutch in 2015 as part of a collection of reflections on faith (“Anker en voertuig,” in Geloven - Spirituele denkers uit de hele wereld getuigen, ed. Jürgen Mettepenningen (Tielt: Lannoo, 2015), 73- 78. Forty-six scholars of diverse religious backgrounds around the world were sent a set of questions: “What Are the central features of your faith?” “How is your belief in praxis?” “Why do you believe (belief)?” “What is the richness of faith?” and “What has faith given to you? How can it be meaningful to others?”. As the style was “conversational,” all references were omitted. I obtained the editor’s written permission to publish the English version.
