God, Reason and Theistic Proofs cover

How do we prove the existence of God? The second volume in the Reason and Religion series tackles head-on this fundamental question. It examines a cross-section of theistic proofs (ways of proving the existence of God) which have been offered by theologians and thinkers from Anselm to Paley, explaining in clear terms what theistic proofs are and what they try to accomplish. The book goes on to explain the relationship between theistic proofs and religious realism, the cosmological and teleological arguments for the existence of God, the position known as foundationalism and the argument from religious experience.

This clear, brisk and well-informed treatment of the arguments for the existence of God is much to be recommended to students and the educated general reader...all in all, it is very good to see traditional philosophy of religion being pursued in such a sane, perspicuous and balanced way.
