If you would like to purchase a copy of Knowledge and Christian Belief you can find it on Amazon by following this link. For those up to the challenge, I also recommend purchasing Warranted Christian Belief or perhaps reading them side by side and using WCB as a sort of extended bookend to dive further into topics that you may want to learn more about or what to follow an extended thought a bit further down the road.

What all does he say about Freud’s and Marx’s views of religion? Seems like that is where the notion of unjustifiable belief in God was popularized.
I have a friend who is always commenting on how irrational and unwarranted it is to believe in a god. However, this same friend is befuddled by Christians who appear to be rational in every other way. He cannot fathom how such an intelligent and rational person can also hold to a belief in God. He subscribes to Freud’s wish fulfillment theory. I have a hunch that this book might do him some good. I could also benefit from reading this material. Thank you for the review.
