Reason & Religious Belief Av Michael (Professor Of Philosophy Of Religion Professor Of Philosophy Of Religion Asbury Theological Seminary) Peterso

Reason and Religious Belief, now in its fifth edition, explores perennial questions in the philosophy of religion. Drawing from the best in both classical and contemporary discussions, the authors examine religious experience, faith and reason, the divine attributes, arguments for and against the existence of God, divine action (in various forms of theism), Reformed epistemology, religious language, religious diversity, and religion and science.Revised and updated to reflect current philosophical discourse, the fifth edition offers new material on neuro-theology, the "new Atheism," the intelligent design movement, theistic evolution, and skeptical theism. It also provides more coverage of non-Western religions—particularly Buddhism—and updated discussions of evidentialism, free will, life after death, apophatic theology, and more. A sophisticated yet accessible introduction, Reason and Religious Belief, Fifth Edition, isideally suited for use with the authors'' companion anthology, Philosophy of Religion: Selected Readings, Fourth Edition (OUP, 2009).
