Exploring the Philosophy of Religion

Exploring the Philosophy of Religion combines the best features of a text and a reader. Organized around seven topics, each of the 28 readings is long enough to allow students to encounter first-hand the works of a major thinker.The introductions to the readings are clear and concise and help prepare students for meaningful class discussion.The topics begin with religious experience then transition to the relation of religion to life, to human destiny, and then on to arguments for Gods existence and the problem of evil. The last two sections analyze the relationship between faith and reason and the nature of religious language.
