520 |a In Part I of this book (a revision of an Oxford D.Phil. thesis supervised by Richard Swinburne) Kinghorn argues that beliefs cannot be freely chosen; they can be examined and tested, but there is no guarantee that anyone will be successful in obtaining a particular belief via such a process. Faith, by contrast, is a voluntary entering into a relationship with God through obedience to his authority; but it must be based on beliefs held about God. So a problem is proposed for the Christian doctrine that God will judge people who lack faith: can they be held responsible if they lack the beliefs on which faith is based? In Part II this question is answered in the affirmative: people can, in some circumstances, culpably fail to see the evidence for theism.
