In the history of Western thought, Christian theology was once
considered to be 'the Queen of Sciences'. Today it has been
marginalised by a prevailing scepticism. Randal Rauser confronts
the problem of developing a public voice for the theologian as
engaged in true theological science while not compromising the
commitment to the Christian community of faith. This book posits a
viable account of theological rationality, justification, and
knowledge that avoids the twin pitfalls of modern rationalism and
postmodern irrationalism. Theology is freshly understood as a
rigorous and rational truth-seeking discipline that seeks
theoretical understanding of divine reality.
Throughout the modern era the predominant epistemological position
has been classical foundationalism, a position now widely rejected
by philosophers and theologians alike. Philosophers recognize that
it fails to achieve a plausible account of rationality,
justification or knowledge, while theologians recognize the extent
to which classical foundationalist strictures have distorted
Christian doctrine. In its place many philosophers and theologians
alike have adopted a nonfoundationalist epistemology, which is in
turn often associated with a problematic alethic and metaphysical
antirealism. Engaging with the ideas of key thinkers from
Descartes, Locke, and Kant, to Bruce Marshall and Alvin Plantinga,
Rauser provides an accessible and provocative survey of the
theological terrain of the modern - and postmodern - era, arguing
in favour of a return to a moderate foundationalism.
