Skeptical Theism, God, and Evidence
, 2022 Skeptical theism is an important position (or set of positions) that—if true—has significant implications in the philosophy of religion regarding the epistemic status of theism and atheism.

Journal of the American Philosophical Association, 2020 AbstractSkeptical theism is a popular response to arguments from evil. Many hold that it undermines a key inference often used by such arguments. However, the case for skeptical theism is often kept at an intuitive level: no one has offered an explicit argument for the truth of skeptical theism.

Skeptical theism, moral skepticism, and epistemic propriety
