Abstract

I consider the view that theistic commitment must be a decisive and the opposing view that theistic commitment must be only tentative. I argue that the multiplicity of kinds of religious commitments complicates the issue for the first view, and so tentative commitment has its place. Then I offer a pragmatic justification for the validity of decisive commitment, against the view that would disallow it.
