RELIGION PHILOSOPHY AND KNOWLEDGE - GREGORY W D...

This book offers a philosophical approach to religion that acknowledges both the diversity of
religions and the many and varied dimensions of the religious life. Rather than restricting
itself to Christian theism  it covers a wide range of religious traditions  examining their
beliefs in the context of the actual practice of the religious life. After outlining the aims
of religion  the book focuses on claims to knowledge. What kinds of knowledge do religions
purport to offer? In what idiom is it couched? From what sources do devotees draw their claims
to knowledge? Are these sources reliable? Rather than trying to settle age-old questions about
religious belief  the book offers its readers a set of criteria with which they can make
informed decisions in matters of faith.
