About this title

Synopsis

The authors use the methods of current analytical philosophy to help the student to rationalize the main philosophical problems involved in a theistic understanding of God and the world. The chapters examine the important classical and contemporary problems, present the ideas of major philosophers, offer critiques (sometimes offering and defending new positions), and indicate some fruitful directions for further investigation.

Review

"I believe that Reason and Religious Belief is the best text available for an introductory philosophy of religion course. One of the greatest strengths is its fair representation of differing positions and approaches to problems. The level is just right for my purposes - introducing students to philosophy of religion in a way that challenges them." - Gordon Pettit, Western Illinois University"The treatments of opposing viewpoints are fair and well balanced. The writing style is superb: consistently economical, engaging, and clear." - Gary Rosenkrantz, University of North Carolina at Greensboro "I believe that Reason and Religious Belief is the best text available for an introductory philosophy of religion course.
