Philosophy of religion Book

The phrase 'philosophy of religion' is a relatively recent one. The process it describes goes back thousands of years, to when the Greek philosophers used the tools of philosophy to examine the validity of religious ideas and values. Since then, in each age, philosophers have sought to apply the principles of their trade to the key concepts of religious faith. Does God exist? Can God's existence be proved? If so, what might God be like? Is there life after death? Is faith in an unseen God rationally tenable at all, in a post-Enlightenment, postmodern, scientific age when, in most societies, different faith traditions co-exist and make claims to the ownership of eternal truths? This authoritative and accessible book is an up-to-date, concise and comprehensive single-volume introduction to the philosophy of religion. It explains how philosophers of the past have thought about these basic questions, and it suggests how we might think about them today.
