**Preface to "Epistemic Issues in Non-classical Religious Belief"**

This Special Issue contains papers focusing on religious beliefs that differ from the classical belief in God, i.e., belief in a perfect being who created the universe. The authors featured in this Special Issue approach this topic from different angles, including religious studies, epistemology, and comparative philosophy.

The publications included within this Special Issue address belief in spirits, neo-pagan religiosity, Hindu beliefs, Chinese beliefs, Afro-Brazilian beliefs, and animistic beliefs. Special emphasis is placed on non-Western traditions or traditions that are underrepresented in the contemporary philosophy of religion.

The book will appeal to scholars whose research interests include the philosophy of religion, comparative philosophy, and religious studies.
