Arguments about the "evidences of Christianity" have consumed the
talents of believers and agnostics. These arguments have tried to
give—or to deny—Christian belief a "foundation." Belief is
rational, the argument goes, only if it is logically derived from
axiomatic truths or is otherwise supported by "enough evidence."
Arguments for belief generally fail to sway the unconvinced. But is
this because the evidence is flimsy and the arguments weak—or
because they attempt to give the right answer to the wrong
question? What, after all, would satisfy Russell's all for
evidence? Faith and Rationality investigates the rich implications
of what the authors call "Calvinistic" or "Reformed epistemology."
This is the view of knowledge-enunciated by Calvin, further
developed by Barth-that sees belief in God as its own foundation;
in the authors’ terms, is it properly "basic" in itself.
