About this book

The volume takes up a basic question in the philosophy of religion: must religious belief rest on evidence to be held properly? It sets the two main answers side by side. Evidentialism says it must, while Reformed epistemology says it need not.

The book has three parts. The first examines the demand for evidence, with some chapters objecting to it and others trying to restate it or find middle ground between the two positions. The second explores how beliefs relate to evidence, including how a person's background beliefs and circumstances shape the evidence available to them.

The third part looks at actual evidence for and against religious belief, from common consent and the moral life to puzzles about divine freedom and moral perfection. Philosophy of religion students and scholars are the natural readers.
