| Summary: | This paper expounds and defends the work of William P. Alston in his book Perceiving God and several papers written on this topic. I shall take seriously the view that there is a nonsensory perceptual awareness of God that provides grounds for religious belief. A person can become justified in holding certain kinds of beliefs about God by virtue of perceiving God as being so-and-so and doing such-and-such. God can comfort, strengthen, guide, communicate a message, or sustain the subject in being. By virtue of my being aware of God as comforting me, I can justifiably believe that God is comforting me. |
