| Zusammenfassung: | In Religious Experience and the Knowledge of God, Harold Netland advances a critical-trust approach to religious experience. This approach raises important questions about what Michael Martin has called "negative religious experiences." Netland responds by attacking Martin's "negative principle of credulity," but I argue that Netland's response can be undermined if we take negative religious experiences not as experiences of God as absent, but as experiences of the world as godless. On this understanding, there is no need for a negative principle of credulity; the ordinary principle still applies and puts pressure on Netland's response. I then raise concerns with Netland's "argument from fulfilled expectations," even as part of a cumulative case argument. Ultimately, I propose that careful attention to the impact of Christ on our Western moral framework might help to resolve both concerns. |
