Beyond the Wager – Doug Groothuis
Maybe you’ve heard of Pascal’s “The Wager” when it comes to belief in God.He was a 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician.The gist of “The Wager” is that, according to Pascal, one cannot come to the knowledge of God’s existence through reason alone, so the wise thing to do is to live your life as if God does exist because such a life has everything to gain and nothing to lose. If we live as though God exists, and He does indeed exist, we have gained heaven. If He doesn’t exist, we have lost nothing. If, on the other hand, we live as though God does not exist and He really does exist, we have gained hell and punishment and have lost heaven and bliss. If one weighs the options, clearly the rational choice to live as if God exists is the better of the possible choices. Does this line up with the Bible? What’s the backstory of Pascal’s life and thought?
