 In the contemporary debate, there are both non-inferential and inferential (evidentialist) models of justification for revelatory claims. In addition, there are positions that some might characterize as fideistic, but that are perhaps better described as portraying the justification of revelation as “totally sui generis”. Below non-inferential, inferential and “sui generis” positions will be treated in turn. However, since the contemporary debates about justification draw inspiration from a long tradition of reflection within theology, it will be useful first to consider some historical background.
