Faith and Rationality: Reason and Belief in God

Faith and Rationality: Reason and Belief in God

by Alvin Plantinga (Author), Alvin Plantinga (Author), Nicholas Wolterstorff (Author)

Synopsis

Faith and Rationality investigates the rich implications of what the authors call Calvinistic or Reformed epistemology. This is the view of knowledge-enunciated by Calvin, further developed by Barth-that sees belief in God as its own foundation; in the authors' terms, is it properly basic in itself.

Media Reviews
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
