Perceiving God: The Epistemology of Religious Experience

Perceiving God: The Epistemology of Religious Experience by Alston, William P.. paperback edition. ISBN: 0884405890288.

In this clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience, William P. Alston argues that the perception of God―his term for direct experiential awareness of God―makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. 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.
