Description
Summary:This Handbook examines and articulates what counts as appropriate epistemic evaluation in theology. Part I focuses on some of the epistemic concepts that have been traditionally employed in theology (e.g. knowledge of God, revelation and scripture, reason and faith, experience, and tradition). Part II concentrates on epistemic concepts that have received significant attention in contemporary epistemology and can be related to theology. Part III offers examples from key figures in the Christian tradition and investigates the relevant epistemological issues and insights in the work of these writers, as well as recognising the challenges of connecting insights from contemporary epistemology with the subject of theology proper, namely, God. Part IV centres on emerging areas that warrant further epistemological consideration
