Synopsis

Covers the core issues in the philosophy of religion in their breadth and depth without bogging down in technical details. Each chapter is long enough for the author to develop the arguments fully, and for students to apprehend and appreciate the chain of reasoning. Noted for his balanced approach, Rowe is eminently fair to all the positions he discusses..The range of topics in the Second Edition is reasonably complete, covering recent interest in non-western religions, religious attempts to explain evil (theodicies), ordinary religious experiences, and recent claims to immediate knowledge of Gods existence.
