178How Doxastic Justification Helps Us Solve the Puzzle of Misleading Higher-Order EvidencePacific Philosophical Quarterly 98 (S1): 308-328. 2016.Certain plausible evidential requirements and coherence requirements on rationality seem to yield dilemmas of rationality (in a specific, objectionable sense) when put together with the possibility of misleading higher-order evidence. Epistemologists have often taken such dilemmas to be evidence that we’re working with some false principle. In what follows I show how one can jointly endorse an evidential requirement, a coherence requirement, and the possibility of misleading higher-order evidenc…Read more

25A Unified Account of Glory Concepts: Glory, Glorious, Glorified, Glorying-in, and Derivative ConceptsJournal of Analytic Theology 8 (1): 300-320. 2020.The term ‘glory’ is notoriously difficult to characterize. In general, when theologians and philosophers have sought to characterize the term they do so in an imprecise and vague manner that leaves a variety of questions unanswered. In what follows we show how recent work in philosophy together with various historical and theological reflections about glory can be used to elucidate the wide range of concepts that tend to be expressed with the term ‘glory’ in theological thought.
