Apisteology: The Study of Not-Believing - Paperback

by Jack David Eller (Author)

This book unites the burgeoning scholarly literature on not-believing in various disciplines into a proposed new field of apisteology. It demonstrates that not-believing-like not-knowing-is a worthy and distinct subject and not merely a vacuum where belief (like knowledge) is lacking.
