How does knowledge shape faith? This study links epistemology to Christian belief and its defense.
This nonfiction work examines how we understand knowledge and how that understanding affects apologetics. It argues that starting from common knowledge helps build a shared basis for discussing truth with others, while avoiding premature appeals to abstract ideals.
- Explains the distinction between common knowledge and ideal knowledge
- Shows why the starting point matters when discussing faith with others
- Connects Platonic ideas about knowledge to modern philosophy and theology
- Explores how reason, will, and motivation influence belief and understanding
Ideal for readers interested in Christian apologetics, philosophy of religion, and epistemology, this edition invites careful reflection on how we come to know what we believe.
