By articulating an epistemology sensitive to the realities of cognitive finitude and moral weakness, he defends a wisdom that begins in both humility and commitment, one that always confesses that human beings can encounter meaning and truth only as human beings, never as gods.The present volume focuses on this wisdom of humility that characterizes Westphal's thought and explores how that wisdom, expressed through the redemptive dynamic of doubt, can contribute to developing a postsecular apologetic for faith.This book can function both as an accessible introduction to Westphal for those who have not read him extensively and also as an informed critical appreciation and extension of his work for those who are more experienced readers. 410 0$aPerspectives in continental philosophy. 606 $aPhilosophical theology 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of (Religion) 606 $aHermeneutics$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aPhilosophical theology. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of (Religion) 615 0$aHermeneutics$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a230.01 676 $a230.01 701 $aPutt$b B.
