Faith and Reason from Plato to Plantinga: An Introduction to Reformed Epistemology

By Dewey J. Hoitenga

Book Overview

This book traces the historical lineages of Alvin Plantinga's religious epistemology from Plato through Augustine and Calvin. It focuses upon this epistemology as a philosophical interpretation of what is generally taken to be a narrow theological doctrine. The author provides a textually based and closely reasoned introduction to the epistemological ideas of Plato, Augustine, Calvin, Plantinga, and several other writers and shows the continuity of a certain approach to the knowledge of God; it may be called the Platonic-Augustinian-Reformed (or Calvinist) approach.
