"Love is freedom. But faith makes man partial and narrow. It deprives him of the freedom and ability to estimate duly what is different from himself. Faith is imprisoned within itself." Faith and love are the essential virtues of Christianity (1 Corinthians 13:13). A Christian must have faith; a Christian must love. But what if faith and love, in human experience, are in fact opposite values? The writings of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-72) stand as a profound critique of Christianity and of all monotheism. The present work is a short selection, of essay length, from Feuerbach's explosive 1841 book, The Essence of Christianity. It is a slightly abridged version of the twenty-sixth chapter, titled "The Contradiction of Faith and Love," and includes a commentary in footnotes from a contemporary perspective. Anyone affected by religion can learn from this searing critique of the spiritual, inward, existential cost of Biblical faith.
