This collection of new philosophical essays explores the connections among the concepts of religious faith (in most cases, Christian faith), trust, testimony, knowledge, rationality, disagreement and virtue(s). The authors are well-known practitioners of philosophical epistemology or philosophy of religion. Some are highly sympathetic to Christianity and others are in varying degrees critical of religious faith.
