A Middle Way to God [Hardcover]

Charting a middle way between the extremes represented by Alvin Plantinga and Richard Swinburne, Garth Hallett explores the thesis that if belief in other minds is rational and true (as it surely is), so too is belief in God. He makes a strong case that when this parity claim is appropriately restricted to a single, sound other-minds belief, belief in God and belief in other minds do prove epistemically comparable. This result, and the distinctive path that leads to it, will interest students and scholars in philosophy of religion and theology.

Hallet proposes a lateral shift in our thinking by undertaking an exploration of what rationally and good evidence look like in areas where standard criteria do not apply (p.9). The goal is to promote fresh vision through a shift in perspective. --The Review of Metaphysics
