"On Christian Belief" offers a defense of realism in the philosophy
of religion. It argues that religious belief--with particular
reference to Christian belief--unlike any other kind of belief, is
cognitive; making claims about what is real, and open to rational
discussion between believers and non-believers. The author begins
by providing a critique of several views which either try to
describe a faith without cognitive context, or to justify believing
on non-cognitive grounds. He then discusses what sense can be made
of the phenomenon of religious conversion by realists and
non-realists. After a chapter on knowledge in general, he defends
the idea that religious knowledge is very like other knowledge, in
being based on reliable testimony, sifted by reason and tested by
experience. The logical status of the content of religious belief
is then discussed with reference to Christianity.
