Review

"Rationality in Science, Religion, and Everyday Life is a clear, informed, and stimulating discussion that will be of interest to a wide range of philosophers, theologians, and others concerned with the rational status of religious belief. It provides a useful overview and suggest some fruitful new approaches." --Gary Gutting, author of Religious Belief and Religious Skepticism
