This book is devoted to articulating the connections between the nature and value of faith and humility. The goal is to understand faith and humility in a way that does not discriminate between religious and mundane contexts, between sacred and secular. It arises from a conviction that these two character traits are important to a flourishing life, and intimately related to each other in such a way that the presence of one demands the presence of the other.

The result of such an inquiry, if that inquiry is successful, will require a re-orienting of discussions surrounding faith, including debates about therelationship between faith and reason.
