Abstract: | Religious believers react in one of four ways to apparent contradictions among their beliefs: Redirection, Resistance, Restraint,
or Resolution. This paper evaluates positive mysterian Resistance, the view that believers may rationally believe and know
apparently contradictory religious doctrines. After locating this theory by comparing and contrasting it with others, I explore
the best developed version of it, that of James Anderson’s Paradox in Christian Theology. I argue that it faces steep epistemic problems, and is at best a temporarily reasonable but ultimately unsustainable stance. |
