Minding Minding God: A Response to Spezio and Bielfeldt

Abstract

Abstract. Michael Spezio and Dennis Bielfeldt have each raised important issues with regard to my positions in Minding God: Theology and the Cognitive Sciences. In this article I respond to several of their criticisms, including issues of the nature of theology, my stance on epistemology and realism, and issues of physicalism, freedom, and determinism.

Keywords

coherence, physicalism, realism, freedom of the will, theological method
