“Which” with an independent clause
I've seen the classic "that" vs "which" debate. However, I'm unsure about which to use in the case of joining a clause with "and". For instance, in Proper Confidence: Faith, Doubt, and Certainty in Christian Discipleship Lesslie Newbigin states:
This is a culture that responds to the Christian story by asking "how can we know that it is true?" There is a long tradition of Christian theology that goes under the name "apologetics" and that seeks to respond to this question and to demonstrate the "reasonableness of Christianity."
I'm wondering if the "... and that ..." in the second sentence could be replaced with "... which ..." and which should be preferred, if any.
