Riassunto

Exploring the Philosophy of Religion, 7th Edition, combines the best features of a text and a reader by offering clear analysis coupled with important primary-source readings.

Professor David Stewart called upon his 30-plus years of teaching experience to introduce students to the important study of philosophical issues raised by religion. Beginning students often find primary sources alone too difficult so this text offers primary source materials by a variety of significant philosophers―including a balanced blend of classical and contemporary authors―but the materials are supported by clearly written introductions, which better prepare students to understand the readings.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

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 God’s existence and the problem of evil. The last two sections analyze the relationship between faith and reason and the nature of religious language.
