The past 20 years have seen a revival of interest in the epistemic status of religious belief, largely led by Basil Mitchell and Richard Swinburne. This book is a comparison of the styles of these two philosophers, and the ways in which they attempt to justify religious belief.
The past twenty years have seen a revival of interest in the epistemic of religious belief. Two philosophers who have led the way are Basil Mitchell and Richard Swinburne. Both believe that religious belief can be justified using inductive `best explanation'' arguments. However, their similarity ends there. Swinburne''s approach is formal, utilizing the calculus of Bayes''s Theorem in assessing the weight of the evidence; Mitchell''s is informal due to his recognition of judgement as central to such assessment. This book is the first full-length comparison of these two styles of justifying religious belief.
