A fundamental question in philosophy of religion is whether
religious belief must be based on evidence in order to be properly
held. In recent years two prominent positions on this issue have
been staked out: evidentialism, which claims that proper religious
belief requires evidence; and Reformed epistemology, which claims
that it does not. Evidence and Religious Belief contains eleven
chapters by prominent philosophers which push the discussion in new
directions. The volume has three parts. The first part explores the
demand for evidence: some chapters object to it while others seek
to restate it or find space for compromise between Reformed
epistemology and evidentialism. The second part explores ways in
which beliefs are related to evidence; that is, ways in which the
evidence for or against religious belief that is available to a
person can depend on that person's background beliefs and other
circumstances. The third part contains chapters that discuss actual
evidence for and against religious belief. Evidence for belief in
God includes the so-called common consent of the human race and the
way that such belief makes sense of the moral life; evidence
against it includes profound puzzles about divine freedom which
suggest that it is impossible for a being to be morally perfect.
