Perceiving God: The Epistemology of Religious Experience

In this clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience, William P.

Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience.
