Reason and Religious Belief: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion Book

This up-to-date edition of Reason and Religious Belief explores the perennial issues in the philosophy of religion. Drawing from both classical and contemporary discussions, the authors examine standard topics in the field - religious experience, faith and reason, theistic arguments, the problem of evil, religious language, miracles, and life after death - as well as new topics that have been widely discussed over the last few decades, including Reformed epistemology, religious pluralism, the philosophical analysis of theological doctrine, and the Kalam cosmological argument. The authors also examine subjects not often included in other books, such as process theism, religious pluralism, and the relationship between religion and morality. The volume is enhanced by study questions and suggestions for further reading, and it is ideally compatible for use in conjunction with the authors' 1996 anthology, Philosophy of Religion: Selected Readings, whose structure parallels the topical sections in this book.Read More
