" Our belief that Christianity is true is based
upon the Bible, which is the attestation of witnesses to events in history.
We find that they are reliable, and thus it is rational to believe in, and
is indeed to Christians the most reasonable world wiew. (We also have the
Holy Spirit within us bearing witness, but the subjective must have some
basis in objective history/reality to be verifiable.)"
No disagreement. I have personally found the essay by
William James called THE WILL TO BELIEVE some help
in this matter.
Is it not true that more than 99% of EVERYTHING we think
we know & believe in comes to us primarily through the
authority of other people? Only in very narrow fields
of investigation can we assert (to ourselves) that we are
the primary expert, and thus to be trusted above and beyond
all external arguments.
