"Is Religious Faith an Epistemology?" Invitation to Submit Article for Publication
SHERM accepts manuscript submissions from religious scholars, historians, & philosophers on a wide spectrum of topics in multiple fields of study involving religion & ministry. Each journal issue is divided into four sections: 1) Social Science Research; 2) Ministerial Research; 3) Invited Position Papers; and 4) Book Reviews.
Can or should faith (specifically, religious faith) be considered an epistemology? If yes, what makes faith an epistemological method? If no, what epistemological methods preclude faith from being considered?
Authors will need to define “faith” and “epistemology” for themselves in defense of their position.
