Reddit mentions of Epistemology: Becoming Intellectually Virtuous (Contours of Christian Philosophy)

Have you ever read Epistemology: Becoming Intellectually Virtuous by Jay Wood? He's a seminary prof writing to a Christian audience, but he doesn't dodge any of the complexity and compromises inherent in our culture's approaches to knowledge. I recommend it highly (I also stock it in our parish bookstore :-)

Total skepticism (evidentialism) is tempting, but (like anti-state libertarianism) it's not a place we can realistically live with much consistency; it's also not conducive to relationships. Fideism is its polar opposite, and it's equally a dead end. People of faith and atheists caricature one another as practicing one of these approaches, but Wood's book opens up a number of other, complementary aspects of knowledge. These aren't new questions, and we shouldn't be reinventing the wheel. In the end, faith and materialism turn out to be more nuanced and less comfortable than I thought -- also not nearly as easy to caricature.

It would surely horrify a Fundamentalist, but I'd love to have this book taught in every Christian private school. Kids who learn to manage both their trust and their skepticism are not going to be shattered when they encounter other worldviews in college.

I've found W. Jay Wood's introductory work on epistemology that focuses largely on virtue epistemology to be extraordinarily helpful in how to become, as the title of his work states, intellectually virtuous.
