Geivett and Moser have done ground-breaking work in editing this brilliant interdisciplinary work on a major theme in Christian tradition and experience. Contributors address the epistemology, meaning, and metaphysics involved in appealing to "the testimony of the Spirit," drawing on philosophy, theology, Biblical studies, and even cognitive science and neuroscience. This provides religious believers and skeptics, experts and newcomers, an array of original, engaging work.
