Does God's Existence Need Proof?

The possibility of proving the existence of God has fascinated thinkers and believers throughout the centuries. This book critically analyses both sides of the contemporary debate - between the two most important living philosophers of religion, Richard Swinburne and D. Z. Phillips - and constructs a way forward. The author argues for a positive relativistic position, and shows that the best description of even philosophical discussion of God's existence is that of trust. He looks again at the arguments for God's existence, and shows that they are indeed worthwhile - but not for the traditional reasons.
