ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a type of knowledge which is widely contested: religious knowledge. Religious knowledge is knowledge of religious truths, such as truths about the existence and nature of God. One source of scepticism about religious knowledge comes from those who think that religious statements are false, and so not even in the market for knowledge. Although one might dispute the possibility of religious knowledge by claiming that there is no religious truth, the most prominent form of scepticism about religious knowledge instead attacks the epistemic status of religious belief. Historically popular way of responding to the evidentialist challenge has been to grant the nature of the challenge and try to meet it head-on. Some have tried to offer a defence of religious knowledge which does not make appeal to any kind of divine revelation, including that written down in scripture.
