A penetrating critique of the Enlightenment assumption of evidentialism--that belief in God requires the support of evidence or arguments to be rational. Garnering arguments from C. S. Lewis, Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, Thomas Reid, William James, and John Calvin, Clark asserts that this Enlightenment demand for evidence is itself both irrelevant and irrational. 'A well-written and useful book. It gives a good account of some of the best results of recent work in the philosophy of religion by several Christian philosophers. It is especially useful in making those results accessible to readers with philosophical or theological interests but without an extensive background of study in recent philosophy.' - George I.
