520 |a When the authority of the self is idealized, as has been the case throughout the modern period, faith as response to authority outside of the self invites not only doubt but also disdain. How, it is natural to ask, can faith be truly responsible intellectually? My argument is that epistemic integrity for believers requires acknowledgment of both of the following points. First, faith is a gift. We do not think our way into faith. We receive it, and it cannot be fully justified through evidential reasoning. Second, there are nevertheless "positive analogies" between theological and scientific reasoning. These analogies involve, on the one hand, the epistemic limits of science itself; and on the other hand, believers' openness to testing, and if necessary, adjusting, of their beliefs.
