But in his view there is a Christian epistemology in the New Testament, in light of which we can conform our practice of philosophy to divine revelation.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/trinities-20\/detail\/0310521149\"><em>Four Views on Christianity and Philosophy<\/em><\/a><\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/trinities-20\/detail\/B01863JKZS\">kindle<\/a>), Dr. Moser dialogues with three other philosophers, two Christians and an atheist. In his view, too many Christian apologists and philosophers adopt the intellectual and moral standards of the world. And he particularly disagrees with the tradition of <strong>&#8220;natural theology,&#8221;<\/strong> the tradition of arguing for the existence of God (or at least of some being inconsistent with naturalism) without reference to divine revelation, using only the reason and experience open to all humans.
