Publisher Synopsis
"This compilation of perceptive and in-depth essays . . . examines the epistemological topic of the rationality of Christian belief. These particular essays take a problematic approach in their criticism of contemporary analysic objections of theistic belief, and in the process make a contribution to general epistemology." -- Faith & Reason "This is an important book by members of what can be loosely called the school of contemporary Calvinist philosophers of religion. It is worthy of study by everyone concerned with the epistemology of religion." -- The Journal of Religion "The essays are exceptionally well written, clear, and stimulating. They explicate what it means to be rational in general and to hold a rational belief in particular. For those interested in the vexing but crucial issues of how reason relates to faith, this is a probative and illuminating study." -- Theological Studies ". . . An important new approach to the philosophy of religion. . . . The contributors are sophisticated and able." -- The Journal of Philosophy "This volume, which represents the best philosophical theology being done today, is a fascinating step in a largely unrecognized dialogue between Reformed and Roman Catholic philosophers." -- New Oxford Review "Faith and Rationality is an impressive and original contribution to the epistemology of religious belief and to general epistemology. . . .These essays revolve around several common themes: first and perhaps foremost, there is the rejection of classical foundationalism . . . a second and closely related theme concerns the evidentialist challenge to religious belief . . . and thirdly, we find a position Plantinga and Wolterstorff dub Calvinist epistemology or Reformed epistemology." -- Nous Read more...
