This book is a wide-ranging survey of the basic character of theological understanding. It explores various ways in which the nature of human thought and the character of human experience affect what theologians conclude about God. Dr. Pailin addresses a number of ideas developed by major thinkers and applies them to theology in a manner not paralleled elsewhere.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book on the conditioning of theological understanding is an excellent illustration of our contemporary fallibilist mood." Michael J. Scanlon, Theological Studies
Book Description
This study looks at the various ways in which theological conclusions are affected by the rationality of those who produce them. The author's critique of the study of theology arises out of a conviction that theology has to establish its credibility as a mode of understanding if it is to be of value.
