Review of 'Religious Faith and Intellectual Virtue'. Edited by Laura Frances Callahan and Timothy O'Connor. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014. xii + 334 pp. £45.00

Abstract

Is intellectual virtue an obstacle to religious faith? The papers in this fine collection answer this question either directly or indirectly. The editors, Laura Callahan and Timothy O’Connor, are to be congratulated on requesting, and receiving, from the authors accessible papers that cover many of the relevant issues. In addition they have provided a clear introduction and useful summaries. In this review, I first consider the way the editors explicate the question. Then I examine the authors' answers. Finally I draw some conclusions from the various papers.
