Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What is the relationship between faith and reason? Find out in PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION: AN INTRODUCTION. Because it's written to be easily understood no matter your background, this philosophy of religion textbook introduces you to the debate in a way you can understand. Whether it's the philosophical proofs for God's existence or using reason to evaluate faith claims, the major points in the philosophy of religion are all covered in this excellent textbook. And with its built-in study tools, PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION: AN INTRODUCTION helps out during test time as well. Book News Annotation:Rowe (Perdue U.) points out that the philosophy of religion is not
the study of the history of religions, nor is it the study of
theology. In fact, it is not a part of the subject matter it studies
at all, but instead a critical examination of basic religious beliefs
and concepts. In this undergraduate review text, and with new
material on rational thought, nonwestern beliefs and the issue of
evil for this edition, Rowe describes how Western theism works and
how it compares to other beliefs, the major arguments for the
existence of God, religious and mystical experience, the role of
faith, and specific questions about miracles, life after death,
predestination, exclusivism/inclusivism and pluralism. Particularly
interesting is his treatment of the arguments about whether the
existence of evil disproves the existence of a loving God. Chapters
include topics for review and further study.
