Religious Epistemology

Religious Epistemology, in Philosophy of Religion, examines how religious beliefs are formed, justified, or known. Essentially, it's a study of how we come to believe in God or divine intervention. This involves two main topics: faith and justification. Faith is a person's trust or belief in religious propositions, while justification investigates whether these faith beliefs can be convincingly argued or criticized. Religious epistemologists consider mental processes, experiences, or 'revelations' when analyzing these ideas.
