This book considers how certainty and faith are related in
Christian faith. It asks: How certain can Christian believers be
about their beliefs about God? Should Christians doubt the
assurance of their salvation? The chapters provide an historical
analysis of both certainty of faith and assurance from the early
Church to modern times while also paying attention to confessional
differences. The author explores contemporary debates in analytic
epistemology on the certainty and fallibility of our beliefs and
argues for a fallibilist understanding of Christian faith. The book
also addresses some less discussed arguments that threaten the
certainty of faith and offers an account of faith as cognitive
practice. It will be of interest to scholars of both theology and
philosophy.
