The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology by Craig, William Lane; Moreland, J. P.;

Rövid leírás:

The last few decades have witnessed a stunning resurgence of philosophical interest in God and theology. Although much of this renaissance is focused on the rationality of theistic belief apart from evidence, there is a gathering movement in philosophical circles to re–establish natural theology's legitimacy in explaining God's existence.

With the help of in–depth essays from some of the world's leading philosophers, The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology explores the nature and existence of God through human reason and evidence from the natural world.

• Stands in useful contrast and opposition to the arguments of the 'new atheists'

The last few decades have witnessed a stunning resurgence of philosophical interest in God and theology. Although much of this renaissance is focused on the rationality of theistic belief apart from evidence, there is a gathering movement in philosophical circles to re–establish natural theology's legitimacy in explaining God's existence.

The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology gathers together original contributions from a variety of leading philosophers to provide a timely and thought–provoking exploration of the nature and existence of God through the beauty and order of the natural world. Each of the in–depth essays draws upon a particular theistic argument—from Contingency and Consciousness to Reason and Religious Experience—with the distinguished authors providing analysis and evaluation of each argument, offering original insights and new perspectives on perennial questions.

The result is an engaging and deeply profound examination of theological thinking that reconciles belief in God with human reason and evidence from the natural world.
