Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-02 00:00:00 Robin Bennett I believe Adler wrote this before his late-in-life conversion to Christianity. This book shows some of the progress of his thinking as we analyzes arguments that "all religions are ultimately the same." He takes on contemporary gurus like Joseph Campbell and Hans Kung. He ends by saying that we need to seriously examine the competing truth claims of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam to see which one is true. I wonder if he recorded the steps by which he decided Christianity was worthy of his belief?

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-30 00:00:00 Jacob Davis The book almost has more to say about epistemology and logic than about the philosophy of religion. A good clear headed introduction to the application of logic to religion, and to why pluralism is fine for matters of culture and taste but not for matters of truth and concrete facts.
