Provocations is the online journal and weblog of The Trinity Forum.
Just as ideas have consequences, so faith has implications for life. Our journal is designed to provoke reflection and conversation on faith’s implications for the way we think and act in all the various spheres of life, public and private.
We operate from a broadly Christian perspective, but as with all the activities of The Trinity Forum, we welcome participation from people of all faiths as well as seekers and skeptics.
Most articles will be open for comments, and we invite your thoughtful responses. We don’t expect you to agree (in fact, we hope you won’t always) but we do expect comments to be respectful of the authors and other respondents. We reserve the right to edit or remove postings at any time.
Articles and opinions that appear on our site are the responsibility of their authors and will not necessarily represent the views of The Trinity Forum or its Fellows and Trustees.
Please note that all comments submitted may be posted for public viewing on our website, but submission of a comment does not guarantee it will be posted.
We welcome general comments or other correspondence with the editors at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Writers guidelines are available on request. We do consider outside submissions for short takes (500 words) as well as longer reviews and feature essays (up to 3000 words).

One of the big differences between scientific faith in that sense and religious faith in another sense is that religious faith involves commitment of the whole person. I believe in quarks and gluons very strongly, actually, but it doesn’t affect my life in any very critical way. I can’t be a Christian without it affecting my life in all sorts of ways. There is moral demand in religious belief as well as an intellectual demand, which does make it more costly, more challenging, and in the end more worthwhile.
