The Introduction sets out the overall programme of the three-part Philosophy of Christian Life: the phenomenology of the devout life, the rhetorics of the word, and the metaphysics of love, focusing respectively on desire, language, and love in Christian life. It presents the work as philosophical in that it accepts the limits of human reason and common sense rather than revelation or dogma and is concerned to make or to justify some truth claims. It acknowledges that focusing on practice requires a different approach to truth from philosophies of religion that start with propositions about God: the example of Augustine as well as of some contemporary philosophers such as John Cottingham shows this to be nevertheless possible.
