Description
Book SynopsisWhat are the core philosophical questions facing Christianity today, and how can we begin to answer them?
Trade ReviewNancey Murphy has written an excellent and comprehensive survey of contemporary philosophy of religion. She expertly faces current challenges, while deftly placing everything within its historical context. * Roger Trigg, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick *
Professional philosophers are interested in many important matters but usually ignore or neglect questions about the rationality of religion. This wonderfully lucid book documents centuries of hard thinking about the reasonableness of theism, and then engages in a more systematic discussion of the question of God, providing scholars and students with a challenging set of proposals that will repay close attention. * Fergus Kerr, Honorary Professor, School of Divinity, University of St Andrews *
