 Strauss’s simultaneous criticism of the self-sufficiency of reason and defense of the rational plausibility (though not the certainty) of revelation bears an important affinity to arguments of contemporary Christian philosophers of religion, such as Alvin Plantinga and Nicholas Wolterstorff, who point out that philosophers and others take many things for granted for which we do not have certain evidence, such as sense perception, memory, or the inner lives of other people. Like Strauss, these philosophers of religion criticize the hubris of Enlightenment attempts to define knowledge only in terms of scientific evidence. Once we dispense with modern philosophy’s overreaching claims for reason, the fact that revelation cannot be proven definitively does not rule out the possibility of making rational arguments about God’s revelation. Such arguments become impossible only when absolute proof for God’s existence is the prerequisite for reasoning about revelation.
