3 EPISTEMOLOGY AND

RELIGIOUS BELIEF

We all profess many and varied beliefs. For the most part we consider our beliefs justified. To go beyond justified belief to assert knowledge is to make a stronger claim. It is a step to a new dimension. We discuss the distinction between belief and knowledge, and the possible relation between them. What is it that provides a justification for what we believe? For sometimes we believe what is not true. One can justifiably believe what is false. One can also believe what is true without being justified in believing it, a condition to be avoided. We discuss the relation between Justification, Knowledge and Truth.
