"There isn't any test right here to put down as inviolable or to legislate yes methods of issues or methods of continuing for philosophers of faith, in simple terms proposals for the way to accommodate a variety of simple issues-proposals that i'm hoping will ignite a lot fruitful dialogue and which, as a minimum, I shall take as a foundation for my very own ongoing paintings within the field."-from the Preface

Providing an unique and systematic remedy of foundational matters in philosophy of faith, J. L. Schellenberg's new publication addresses the constitution of non secular and irreligious trust, the kinds of spiritual skepticism, and the character of faith itself. From the author's looking research of religion emerges a singular figuring out of propositional religion as requiring the absence of trust. Schellenberg asks what the goals of the sector will be, taking off a sequence of ideas for engaging in probably the most very important of those aims.

His account of justification considers not just trust but in addition different responses to non secular claims and distinguishes the justification of responses, propositions, and folks. all through Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion, Schellenberg is laying the foundation for an elaboration of his personal imaginative and prescient whereas whilst suggesting how philosophers may possibly reconsider assumptions guiding so much of cutting-edge paintings in analytic philosophy of religion.
