Description
This Element addresses a fundamental challenge in philosophy of religion: the problem of epistemic defeaters. Thurow investigates how considerations that undermine confidence in theistic arguments affect rational belief in God. The book examines whether apparent defeaters to classical arguments for God’s existence—such as the problem of evil, inconsistent revelations, and competing worldviews—genuinely defeat or merely challenge theistic reasoning.
The author explores strategies for responding to defeaters while maintaining rational theistic belief. He considers both traditional approaches and contemporary epistemological frameworks, analyzing the conditions under which defeaters succeed or fail. The work engages with debates about faith, reason, and justified belief, offering insights relevant to both philosophers of religion and epistemologists interested in how worldviews survive rational scrutiny.
