ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been a philosophical challenge to foundationalism by a group of philosophers who conform to, or, at least, are influenced by, one version or other of Calvinist Reformed theology. The challenge to foundationaiism begins from a clear recognition of the scandal in the philosophy of religion. Possibility is placed above both God and man alike. The laws of logic are assumed as somehow operative in the universe, or at least as legislative for what man can or cannot accept as possible or probable. The Reformed episternologists point out that it is simply assumed in foundationalism that belief in existence of God is belief which stands in need of evidence. These are said to have epistemic and phenomenological properties. The epistemic property is that of simply being seen to be true once understood. The phenomenological property is luminous aura which accompanies them and leads us to accept them, or which may be our impulsion to accept them.
