    Paul Moser

    contemporaryAnalytic Philosophy of Religion

    b. 1957

    Paul K. Moser is an American philosopher of religion and epistemologist at Loyola University Chicago, known for his work on religious epistemology, the hiddenness of God, and the evidential role of personal transformation. He has argued that knowledge of God is fundamentally volitional and moral rather than purely intellectual, challenging traditional natural theology.
