The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology, the first to appear on the topic, introduces the current state of religious epistemology and provides a discussion of fundamental topics related to the epistemology of religious belief. Its wide-ranging chapters not only survey fundamental topics, but also develop non-traditional epistemic theories and explore the religious epistemology endorsed by non-Western traditions. In the first section, Faith and Rationality, readers will find new essays on Reformed epistemology, skepticism and religious belief, and on the nature of evidence with respect to religious belief. The rich second section, Religious Traditions, contains chapters on Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, and Christian epistemologies. The final section, New Directions, contains chapters ranging from applying disjunctivism and knowledge-first approaches to religious belief, to surveying responses to debunking arguments. Comprehensive and accessible, this Handbook will advance the field for years to come.

‘This volume of essays is an exciting step forward in religious epistemology. Written by distinguished philosophers from epistemology and philosophy of religion, it covers traditional topics such as faith & reason, natural theology, miracles, and religious experience, as well as newer directions from religious disagreement, religious practices, or debunking arguments, among others; and chapters on Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu epistemologies offer rich insights from specific religious traditions. Highly recommended.'
