(1964) Faith and the philosophers, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Iadmire the strategic plan of Alston's paper, and also the skill and thoroughness of his execution. I think his main results are entirely sound. I agree with his conclusion that even if it is a fact that "reason-irrelevant" factors are sufficient to produce a belief in God's existence, this could have little or no tendency to show that the belief is false, or probably false, or unworthy of serious acceptance.
