Synopsis
This work provides an introduction to the philosophy of religion, and is written for those with no previous knowledge of philosophy. It explains the nature of philosophical inquiry and shows how the demand for a philosophical examination of religion arose out of particular historical situations. It discusses traditional philosophical questions about the existence of God, miracles, the truth of the Bible, science and religion, and religion and ethics. The argument of the book suggests that the attempt to find historical and scientific proof for religious beliefs is bound to fail, as is the attempt to disprove religion by scientific and historical evidence. On the view advanced here, religion is best understood as a way of life and as not being in competition with science at all.

Review
"This is vintage Tilghman: accessible, good examples, and down-to-earth. The book will be an eminently useful primer." R. T. Herbert, University of Oregon "An engaging text; it offers students an accessible introduction to the arguments and history of the field." Charles Taliaferro, St Olaf College, USA "A delight to read - constant and helpful illustrations, punchy and interesting narrative, and in places positively amusing." Reviews in Religion of Theology
From the Back Cover
This book is written for those coming to philosophy for the first time. It explains the nature of philosophical inquiry and discusses traditional philosophical questions about the existence of God, miracles, creationism, the truth of the Bible, science, and the problem of evil.
The argument of the book suggests that the attempts to find historical and scientific proof for religious beliefs is bound to fail and so is the attempt to disprove religion by scientific and historical evidence. The view that religion is best understood as a way of life and not in competition with science at all is illustrated by examples from literature and the visual arts.

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Como nuevo. : Este libro es una introducción a la filosofía de la religión, ideal para aquellos que se acercan a esta disciplina por primera vez. Explica la naturaleza de la investigación filosófica y aborda preguntas tradicionales sobre la existencia de Dios, los milagros, el creacionismo, la veracidad de la Biblia, la ciencia y el problema del mal. El argumento central sugiere que intentar encontrar pruebas históricas y científicas para las creencias religiosas está destinado al fracaso, al igual que intentar refutar la religión con evidencia científica e histórica. Se ilustra la idea de que la religión se entiende mejor como una forma de vida y no en competencia con la ciencia, utilizando ejemplos de la literatura y las artes visuales.
