Crossing the Threshold of Divine Revelation

<DIV>The last few decades have seen a revolution in debates about the rationality of Christian belief. Among the array of current options for justifying religious belief however nearly every one assumes that a general theory of knowing and a minimal version of theism must be adopted before the rationality of Christian belief can be tackled.<br><br>In <I>Crossing the Threshold of Divine Revelation</I> William J. Abraham confronts both of these assumptions arguing that epistemology must begin with its particular target of inquiry - in Abraham's case the full-blooded canonical theism of the early undivided Christian church. He argues moreover that special divine revelation forms a crucial threshold at the entrance to the epistemology of Christian belief. Sure to intrigue philosophers theologians and curious students Abraham's robust vision of Christian faith provides a creative solution to many of the current difficulties in philosophy and theology.</DIV>
