✦ Synopsis

In a number of his papers, Donald Davidson appeals to the intelligibility of an Omniscient Interpreter in order to undercut the skeptical contention that it is intelligible that human beings have a coherent system of beliefs, most of whose members are false. The purpose of this paper is to take Davidson's argument and use it to provide a defense for belief in the existence of God.
