 According to the Naturalist Interpretation, at least some persons assent to the articles of the Creed because, first, they accept a cluster of arguments from natural theology, second, they believe on the basis of human testimony and other evidence that miracles and other signs have occurred in biblical history and in the history of the church. From these considerations they conclude that God has made a revelation in history, which is contained, in its essence, in the Creed. The Christian revelatory claim is justified on this inferential basis. Grace and God’s supernatural influence has little epistemic significance in this process—grace just makes the believer accept God’s revelation without reluctance (Penelhum 1977: 146; see also Hick 1988: 11–31).
