<p>The last few decades have seen a revolution in debates about the rationality of Christian belief. Still, while there is now a full array of options for justifying religious belief, nearly every option assumes that a general theory of knowing and a minimal version of theism must be adopted before the rationality of Christian belief can be tackled.</p> <p>In <I>Crossing the Threshold of Divine Revelation</I> William J. Abraham confronts both of these assumptions, arguing that epistemology must begin with its particular target of inquiry — in Abraham’s case the full-blooded “canonical theism” of the early, undivided Christian church. Abraham argues, moreover, that special divine revelation forms a crucial threshold at the entrance to the epistemology of Christian belief; accepting divine revelation is the first step to entering a whole new world of knowledge.</p> <p>Sure to intrigue philosophers, theologians, and curious students, Abraham’s robust vision of Christian faith provides a creative alternative to many of the current impasses in the philosophy of religion.</p>
