Overview
Paul Helm investigates what religious faith is and what makes it reasonable. While religious beliefs need to stand up to philosophical scrutiny just like other beliefs, religious epistemology must respect the distinctiveness of their subject-matter. Helm argues that the reasonableness of faith depends not only on beliefs about the world but also on beliefs about oneself and on what one is willing to trust.
