'A Private and Public Faith' is a heartfelt protest against the self-serving religiosity that characterizes so much of religion in contemporary American society, and which affects to such a large degree the life of the churches of American Protestantism. Stringfellow's protest is motivated by a passionate concern that the authentic life of the Word of God should operate freely in the church and in the world. His exposition of this life for individual, church, and society is profound yet simple. An excerpt on discerning God's presence: In other words, the most notorious, plain, and victorious truth of God is that God participates in our history -- even yours and mine. Our history -- all our anxieties -- have become the scene of His presence and the matter of His care. We are safe. We are free. Wherever we turn we shall discover that God is already there. Therefore, wherever it be, fear not, be thankful, rejoice, and boast of God."

Erasmus reached England after a stay in Italy early in the summer of 1510. Soon afterwards, in Thomas More's house at Bucklersbury, he rapidly wrote his famous satire, the Encomium Moriae, or "Praise of Folly," in which Folly celebrates her own praises as the great source of human pleasures. He had been meditating this piece on the long journey from Rome; it is a kaleidoscope of his experiences in Italy, and of earlier memories. As to the title, Moria, the Greek word for "folly," was a playful allusion, of course, to the name of his wise and witty host. This "Praise of Folly" is a satire, not only in the modern but in the original sense of that word,—a medley. All classes, all callings, are sportively viewed on the weak side. But in relation to the author's own life and times, the most important topics are the various abuses in the Church, the pedantries of the school-men, and the selfish wars of kings. If this eloquent Folly, as Erasmus presents her, most often wears the mocking smile of Lucian or Voltaire, there are moments also when she wields the terrible lash of Juvenal or of Swift. The popularity of the satire, throughout Europe, was boundless. The mask of jest which it wore was its safeguard; how undignified, how absurd it would have been for a Pope or a King to care what was said by Folly! And, just for that reason, the Encomium Moriae must be reckoned among the forces which prepared the Reformation.

"GOD communicates with man in divers ways. He speaks to him through his conscience; and through the inspired pages of Holy Writ; and, with yet greater clearness and emphasis, through the living voice of the Catholic Church, which He founded on "the Rock" of Peter well-nigh 2,000 years ago. God speaks to man also by the lips of Science and Philosophy, and through the visible creation, which lies stretched out before him like an open book that "Book of Nature," which is ever proclaiming in its own impressive way" the wondrous works of His hands". By whatever channel He speak, the voice is always one and the same, for it is always the voice of the living God. From this it is evident that there can never be the slightest real discord between the lessons taught. Geology cannot be in contradiction with Scripture. Science cannot oppose Revelation, nor is it conceivable that the conclusions of Philosophy can ever be out of harmony with the Definitions of Divine Faith. There may be, and there often are apparent conflicts, but they can never be anything more than "apparent". Indeed such conflicts are natural and inevitable, and will continue while man remains what he is. Man's imperfect knowledge, his false interpretations, his unwarranted conclusions, his erroneous deductions, his ill-founded theories, his mistaken judgments, and even the very limitations of his mental vision must often occasion apparent contradiction; and may even start interminable discussions and conflicts between the teaching of the Infallible Church and the utterances of human science. But these differences are never real. The preceding remarks will explain the title of the present little work. We call it FAITH AND FOLLY because our chief purpose in publishing it is to strike a blow, however feeble, however unworthy, and how ever ill-directed, in defense of the Faith, and of the supernatural structure erected by Faith, against attacks of modern infidelity and the assaults of the worldly-wise."

"The fool says in his heart, "There is no God""-Psalms 14:1 "Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?-1 Corinthians 1:20 Is the Bible engaging in name-calling? Definitely not! The Bible refers to the "fool" as someone who is morally deficient, dense, and refuses to accept the truth. The unbeliever is foolish because he rejects God's Word. The wisdom of the world is foolish because God has made it so. This foolishness is not only moral or religious, but intellectual as well! Without God, man is utterly lost both morally and philosophically! This is because all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ! (Colossians 2:3) The Folly of Unbelief presents the strongest possible defense of Christian belief. Going on the offensive, it shows that all forms of unbelieving thought end up in intellectual and philosophical foolishness! The unbeliever has no place to stand intellectually in his war against the Christian faith. The Folly of Unbelief explores and illustrates the various philosophical failures of unbelieving thought. It is the Christian worldview alone, based on God's Word, that can guarantee the coherence of all human experience! Therefore all the unbeliever's attempts to argue against Christianity are futile. The failures of unbelieving systems of thought are presented in a fashion that is easy to understand and a clear style that can be followed by anyone regardless of their philosophical training. Only the Christian faith is rational and defensible, all contrary systems end in foolishness and futility of thought! The Folly of Unbelief is a philosophical expression of a fundamental Christian truth. GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY!

The goddess Folly gives a speech, praising herself and explaining how much humanity benefits from her services, from politicians to philosophers, aristocrats, schoolteachers, poets, lawyers, theologians, monarchs and the clergy. At the same time, her discourse provides a satire of Erasmus's world, poking fun at false pedantry and the aberrations of Christianity. Woven throughout her monologue, a thread of irony calls into question the goddess's own words, in which ambiguities, allusions and interpretations collide in a way that makes Praise of Folly enduringly fascinating.
