Reconciling feminist critiques and classic theories of atonement
Work on atonement is fractured around how to respond to feminist critiques of classic atonement theories (such as satisfaction, moral exemplar, and penal substitution theories). Feminist and womanist scholars have levelled various critiques of these theories: the theories glorify sadomasochistic suffering, they encourage passivity in the face of suffering, and they are complicit in the oppression, victimization, and disempowerment of women in par…
The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology
The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology, the first to appear on the topic, introduces the current state of religious epistemology and provides a discussion of fundamental topics related to the epistemology of religious belief. Its wide-ranging chapters not only survey fundamental topics, but also develop non-traditional epistemic theories and explore the religious epistemology endorsed by non-Western traditions. In the first section, Fai…
Mystical Body Theodicy
In this paper I develop a new theodicy--Mystical Body Theodicy. This theodicy draws on the Christian doctrine of the mystical body of Christ to argue that some evil can be defeated by a set of three goods connected with increasing the unity of humanity through love. This theodicy also helps three other prominent theodicies avoid objections
Atoning in purgatory
This article develops a new argument – The Argument from Atonement – that commonplace Christian assumptions about heaven imply the existence of purgatory. According to this argument, many Christians will die with residual moral guilt due to possessing unfulfilled moral debts towards fellow non-divine humans. Some of these debts cannot be fulfilled immediately after death and are not completely fulfilled or cancelled by Jesus's atoning work. Chris…
The defeater version of Benacerraf’s problem for a priori knowledge
Why There is Something Rather than Nothing – By Bede Rundle
The Principle of Sufficient Reason
God and the Ethics of Belief
Experientially Defeasible A Priori Justification
In his recent book Albert Casullo rejects the claim that if a belief is defeasible by non‐experiential evidence then it is defeasible by experiential evidence. This claim is a crucial premise in a simple argument for the experiential defeasibility of a priori justification. I defend the premise against Casullo's objection, the main problem with which is that he does not take into account the evidential role of multiple corroborating sources of te…
