Christian Truth-Claims in Contemporary Epistemological Setting

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2011

Abstract

The author makes a case for the plausibility of the Christian faith vis-a-vis the challenges posed by postmodern relativism. He draws on Charles Taylor's and Alasdair MacIntyre's critique of the neo-Nitschean position; and Harold Netland's critique of John Hick's version of religious pluralism.

In addition, he proposes that experience can play a positive role in confirming or disconfirming religious truth - meaning both subjective religious experience and one's experience with the features of the world to which religious claims either correspond or fail to correspond.
