Description
Faith Beyond Reason: A Kierkegaardian Account by C. Stephen Evans explores the relationship between faith and reason, examining a philosophical perspective known as fideism. Evans distinguishes between responsible and indefensible forms of fideism, arguing that genuine religious knowledge is grounded in faith beyond reason.
Three key areas of philosophy of religion are discussed, including the knowledge of God's existence, the problem of evil, and the verifiability of divine revelation. Through concrete examples, Evans sheds light on how fideists might approach these complex topics.
This thought-provoking work provides a nuanced understanding of a philosophical perspective that challenges traditional notions of faith and reason. By examining the nature of fideism, Evans offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between these two concepts.
