Theology's epistemological dilemma : how Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga provide a unified response

Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga are not thought of as theological allies. Barth is famous for his opposition to philosophy's role in theology, while Plantinga is famous for his emphasis on warranted belief. Kevin Diller argues that they actually offer a unified response to the central epistemological dilemma in theology.

  • ""In Theology's Epistemological Dilemma, Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of the most significant responses in recent Christian thought : Karl Barth's theology of revelation and Alvin Plantinga's epistemology of Christian belief. Diller offers a reading of each as complementary to the other : Barth provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth, while Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity. Diller presents a unified Barth / Plantinga proposal for theological epistemology capable of responding without anxiety to the questions that face believers today." -- Back Cover"
