Sí, fui un afortunado testigo que vio cómo...

This book explores those ups and downs and demonstrates a pattern that allows us to discern God's love and care despite our...

Alston argues that the perception of God-his term for direct experiential awareness of God-makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience.
