Opis

The authors of this volume encourage rethinking our usual understanding of the relationship between faith, belief and skepticism. For some, skeptical faith is an oxymoron and faith and skepticism are mutually exclusive states or attitudes. Others argue that there is no proper faith without skepticism about faith. Taking John Schellenberg s recent work on the possibility of a skeptical faith as a starting point, the authors respond to and in some cases seek to go further than Schellenberg. The papers take up various questions, for example: What is the relationship between faith and belief, belief and understanding, understanding and experience, and experience and skepticism?
