Reformed Epistemology

Reformed Epistemology is a philosophical perspective that suggests believing in God can be rational without needing evidence typically required in other areas of knowledge. It asserts that experiences, like those of faith or a sense of the divine, can provide a valid basis for belief, much like our trust in the existence of the external world or other minds. This approach emphasizes the role of properly functioning cognitive faculties, which can lead us to form beliefs about God in a way that is reasonable, even if it doesn't conform to traditional evidential standards.
