I was reading this morning in Reading Joshua as Christian Scripture and ran across this:
“...during the Enlightenment there was a shift away from the classic Christian paradigm of ‘faith seeking understanding’ to one of ‘faith requiring justification’.”—Reading Joshua as Christian Scripture, page 32, footnote 73

That really struck me. I believe he is correct; we feel the need to defend faith, rather than allowing our faith to lead us into understanding. Sad loss on our part.
