by Joseph Kim
Imprint: Pickwick Publications
Joseph Kim is the founding president of Genesis International College of Osaka, Japan. Previously, he taught philosophy and business ethics for several universities in the United States. His first book, Reformed Epistemology and the Problem of Religious Diversity, is at the intersection of epistemology and the philosophy of religion. He is currently working on a second book on the topic of personal strategy. He has lectured on leadership, organizational strategy, philosophy, and missions for various non-profit organizations, churches, conferences, and universities throughout North America, Africa, and Asia. He is an alum of Harvard Business School and Arizona State University, where he received his PhD in philosophy.
"Joseph Kim's extremely careful, judicious, and accurate defense of Christian belief deserves a wide readership."

"Reformed Epistemology--one of the more important and controversial movements in recent epistemology of religion--has been criticized for failing to deal adequately with issues stemming from religious disagreement. In this helpful work, Joseph Kim carefully explains Alvin Plantinga's version of Reformed Epistemology and defends it against criticisms based upon religious diversity and disagreement."
--Harold Netland
Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Intercultural Studies
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"Joseph Kim's Reformed Epistemology and the Problem of Religious Diversity is a careful, perceptive, and well informed study of one important family of objections to Alvin Plantinga's version of Reformed Epistemology. It should be of interest not only to readers of Plantinga, but also those who are concerned about the rationality of exclusive religious belief and those who have been following recent debates about the epistemology of informed disagreement."
