I have just finishing a very interesting work of Jewish philosophy/thought written by Rabbi Dr. Walter Wurzburger z"l, called God is Proof Enough. I found his work to be quite refreshing for someone who continuously wonders about faith and reason. Very often people attempt to argue for the need to prove a religious conviction. Unfortunately, most arguments given would fall under the framework of apologetics. I for one have issues with attempting to prove the existence of G-d or the revelation of Torah without belief, and once I believe it, then the reason becomes secondary.

Rabbi Wurzburger simply claims that one must continuously fight to have faith. The "proofs" exist to strengthen our faith, but not to supplant it. For a counter-argument to this, see the website run by Yeshiva Bnei Torah called Mesora.org. Among their claims is that Judaism does not believe in a "leap of faith (believing in something for no reason)." This is something that I had learned throughout high school, and even then found to be difficult, because why should one believe any proof if one doesnt believe the premise for the proof.

Another book that I started reading is, Models of Revelation, by Avery Cardinal Dulles, which presents various models for how to view revelation. His book's assumption is that revelation occured. His question is how do we understand the concept of revelation. More to come on this book after I get around to finishing it.
