Imagines a 19th-century German student immersed in demythologizing scholarship where all credible authorities assume Christianity is false. This student cannot access good evidence or good arguments. Under an evidentialist-only view they would have no warrant. Winger argues they do have warrant through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit — applicable also to university students today.
