The Oxford Handbook of the Epistemology of Theology brings together
leading scholars in the fields of theology and epistemology to
examine and articulate what can be categorized as appropriate
epistemic evaluation in theology. Part one focuses on some of the
epistemic concepts that have been traditionally employed in
theology such as knowledge of God, revelation and scripture, reason
and faith, experience, and tradition. This section also considers
concepts that have not received sufficient epistemological
attention in theology, such as saints, authority, ecclesial
practices, spiritual formation, and discernment. Part two
concentrates on epistemic concepts that have received significant
attention in contemporary epistemology and can be related to
theology such as understanding, wisdom, testimony, virtue,
evidence, foundationalism, realism/antirealism, scepticism, and
disagreement. Part three offers examples from key figures in the
Christian tradition and investigates the relevant epistemological
issues and insights in these writers, as well as recognizing the
challenges of connecting insights from contemporary epistemology
with the subject of theology proper, namely, God. Part four centres
on five emerging areas that warrant further epistemological
consideration: liberation theology, continental philosophy, modern
orthodox writers, feminism, and Pentecostalism. This authoritative
collection explores how the various topics, figures, and emerging
conversations can be reconceived and addressed in light of recent
developments in epistemology. Each chapter provides an analysis of
the crucial moves, positions, and debates, while also identifying
relevant epistemic considerations. This handbook fulfils the need
for the development of this new conversation that will take its
natural place in the intersection of theology and epistemology. It
links the fields of theology and epistemology in robust,
meaningful, and significant ways.
